Description
De brouwerij werd opgericht in 1995 door Johan Brandt en was tot 2008 gelegen in het West-Vlaamse Assebroek, een deelgemeente van de stad Brugge. Voornamelijk omwille van het gebrek aan de nodige ruimte voor uitbreiding (de brouwcapaciteit bleef beperkt tot 320 liter per brouwsel), verhuisde de brouwerij in 2009 naar Mater, een deelgemeente van Oudenaarde. Deze verhuis bracht ook de officiële naamsverandering van De Regenboog naar Smisje met zich mee. In 2010 werd beslist alle bestaande bieren behalve het Kerstbier te doen verdwijnen uit het assortiment en het nieuwe bier Smiske te lanceren. De oudere Smisje-bieren werden echter zo gewaardeerd dat een aantal mensen een Facebook-groep opzette om de bieren toch nog te laten brouwen. Op aanvraag van de regelmatige bezoekers besluit in 2011 de brouwer ook Smiske Bruin te brouwen.

Bouteille 33cl, no BB but appearing beyond date, from Geers. Dorée, col blanc très effervescent. Arôme au nez assez banal voire ennuyant avec des notes de veilles levures, pas vraiment d’épices en rétro, petite touche poivrée concassée perce très légèrement. Palais semble bien passé de date, vieille levure, sans aucunes complexité, autant l’étiquette est kitch, autant le profil épicé est manquant surtout au niveau ’cajun’. Petite note de poivre semble être tout ce qui demeure de côté de Louisiane.

Bottle shared thanks to Mrk. Slight gusher. Golden with lots of tiny things floating around and short lasting big fizzy white head. Lots of grains and bread, sugar, rye bread, some hay. This basically tastes like liquid bread. Medium sweet. Medium bodied. Pretty bad.
