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.

Sample from 2007 bottle at Kurtkeller 026: Summer-tastic 01 on 06/25/2017. Pours a reddish-brown color with a thick light beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of soy sauce, malt and fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of syrupy fruit, soy sauce and yeast. The finish is dark fruits and more soy sauce. Average overall.

Mild gusher. Pours dark, unclear blonde. Huge white head smell is extremely yeasty. Banana, thick. Taste is overcarbonated to a new level of extreme. Moslty yeasty, some stale maltyness ( old bread) , very subtile touch of bitterness ( even less than your average lager ). Phenols, esthers and overcarbonation seem to be the concept here.

Bottle, a murky medium brown. Quick livelt light tan head. Strange carmelized malts, light dates and raisons, and a slightly sour tannin bite at the end. Very strange, not a stout, and not good
