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.

Kriek from Brouwerij Smisje

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Huge brown-red to russet head, gone in seconds over fully hazy purple-brown beer. Overripe cherries, cherryliqueur, hint at lactic acid, chocolate pralines filled with cherry ganache. Again cherryliqueur in the mouth, lending an impression that easily explains the claimed 12% ABV. Sweetish-sourish red fruit with a bitter, dark chocolate-like finish. Rich, voluptuous feel, spritzy carbonation, chewy and thick. Excellent one, Johan!

Calva Reserva from Brouwerij Smisje

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 6 Overall 8
Bottle at home from Tanakaya. Dark amber red brown colour. Small golden head. Aroma lots of booze, Xmas cake, stewed boozy fruit. Very cakey. Bit of spice cinnamon, slight appley hint from the calvados but mainly full on booze and some malt there too. Taste full on. Full bodied. Warming. Very fruity. Booze hidden to a certain extent. Tastes like a Belgian Xmas beer. Fairly smooth and rounded. End has just a hint of brutishness. Surprisingly drinkable although more than one might be a challenge. End is sweet and a little spicy. Maybe a bit full on, but quite nice.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Cloudy/murky golden brown colour. Not much head and what is there soon disappears. Aroma is boozy and fruity. Quite sweet too. Plums, raisins, bit of candy too and something indistinct but perfumey. Taste is less full on than the % might suggest. Once again, boozy fruits, sugary sweetness, caramel malt. Herbs and spices too. Very easy to drink given the %, but not really grabbing me. Smoothed off spirit elements. Could feel the booze afterwards though. Bit of a disappointment, all booze, not so much taste.

Orange color, coudy, thin head. Orange liquor aroma, I can hardly notice the mustard. Sweetish and just a bit sour. Orange and cherry, just a bit of hopbitterness. Rye. Maybe a bit of mustard on the tongue. Likeable beer with an a-typical flavor.

6.3/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 7
Light orange color with the tiniest particles of yeast floating in the glass. Melon aroma. Full bodied. Very fruiy flavor, with melon and orange. The alcohol is partly hidden by the fruity sweetness. Hazelnuts and some bitterness, especially in the aftertaste. Off the beaten track, but friendly. Re-rate: bottle. Orange blonde witha touch of grey. Cloudy. Yeast, anis and mint in the aroma. Malt, mint, honey and yeast in the alcoholic flavor. Sweetish with some tropical fruit.

Bottle, Café t Klooster Delft. Alcoholic, obviously, but also some malty fruitiness. Raisin, grapefruit, but also touches of rosebuds and banana. Well carbonated with a touch of yeast character.

Bottle. Dark amber color. No head at all. Candi sugar and maple syrup in the aroma. Massively sweet and alcoholic. Fizzy. Maple syrup. Flat and onedimensional. Sticky mouthfeel, but a short aftertaste. Still a bit more drinkable as my description suggests.
