About
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.

Catherine The Great Imperial Stout from Brouwerij Smisje

Good Belgian take on the imperial stout style. With the usual dark coffee and chocolate, but with a sweet Belgian twist of yeast and raisin.

Unique beer, a strong dark ale, brewed with dates. It’s sweet, yeasty, malty and fruity in a special way. Very good.

I never knew a beer brewed with mustard could be good. But smisje proves in this weird brew that it can be tasty.

Extra from Brouwerij Smisje

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Cloudy golden coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall just off-white head that fades very fast. Aroma of hops, tons of yeast, alcohol and a bunch of hay and grass - very nice and very floral. Light to Medium-bodied; Grassy and herbal hop notes with a ton of yeast, a bunch of hay and some lighter pepper and spice notes. Aftertaste shows some herbal notes throughout with some yeast and spice flavours, a ton of pepper, coriander seed and grains. Overall, a nice and very well rounded beer with tons of herbal and spice notes and still a lot of yeast. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from de Bier Tempel in Bruges, Belgium on 14-August-2013 for €2,95 sampled in my hotel room across the border in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg on 18-August-2013.

Oudenaarde from Brouwerij Smisje

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Draft at Local Option served in a thinned Sint Christoffel glass. Cloudy and thick orange and red colored beer with a long lasting head. Aroma is acetic prune earth, acetic grounded in some soily maltiness. Its earthy and nice and the acetic character beefs that up without being overbearing. Flavor is a leafy soil with acetic touches and a cherry pit component. Some lactic sourness as well. Long earthy cherry after taste. Almost like a Scottish Flanders Ale. Some alcohol peaks through it all as well. Nice stuff. Always interesting from this brewery.

Bottle at Bruce’s thanks to jackl. It pours hazy/murky deep amber with a medium beige head. The nose is sweet baked goods, brown sugar, crème brulee, vanilla, rice pudding and apple. The taste is caramel, toffee, earth, toast, preserved fruit, fig, prune, passion fruit and dried apple. Medium to full body and fine carbonation with alcohol warmth in the finish. Well integrated flavour. Decent.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s, London - big thanks to the honorable Jack. Pours murky golden-brown with a frothy, tam head. Some tangy fruits in the nose, bread, caramel. Medium sweet flavor, lots of leathery fruits, dry and toasty caramel, bread. Full bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Warm finish, some boozy kick, caramel, toast, light earthy bitterness, some citrus, more leathery fruits. Decent beer.
