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.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy yellow color, huge fizzy white head. Smells as if it was ’cellar aged’ for a damn long time, a lot of dust and pretty stale. Taste is -fortunately- a bit better. Lightly malts, a touch of fruity bitter. That’s if you don’t sniff it when you drink. Fizzy carbonation, ok body.

Bottle. It pours a small, off-white head over an almost clear golden body. The aroma has a cellary touch, with quite a lot of Belgian style white sugar. Fruity and perfumed too. The flavor has a little milky sourness, with pale malts, fruityness and some white sugar. Medium body, semi-dry, and with a low level of carbonation. Not a very successful one, feels a bit unclean too. 130510
