Established in 1999
Description
The microbrewery is founded by Achilles Van de Moer on the passion for special beers. After 7 years of trials with different beers, the decision to start a microbrewery in Itegem was made in 1999. The brand name of beers is “Serafijn”. All beers are high fermentation brews, with second fermentation in the bottle. Most of the beers are contract brewed, but some of them are also brewed at their own location.
In 2015 Achilles became part of Caupona bvba (of the Prik & Tik stores in Heist-op-den-Berg and Herselt). The brewery is now called ''Brouwerij Serafijn.'' That is the new company in Heist that houses the Serafijn beers. The former microbrewery in Itegem has been dismantled.
The beer is now brewed at the Pirlot brewery in Zandhoven.

Hazy dark orange color with speckels of yeast, not much head. Not much smell either. Taste light hints of sour, yeast and tomatoes somehow. High carbo but that suits the beer so it’s ok. Body medium to full.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 18.7.2011
Sweetish aroma contains some caramel and aged fruits. Slightly stale flavour has lots of caramel and some alcohol. A bit weird, especially when compared to 7 and 8. Also the alcohol disturbs too much.

Bottle, at Oud Arsenaal. It is an unclear, golden-brown beer with a creamy, beige head of moderate size. Caramel, roasted notes, and dried fruits. Some hops. It’s sweet in the mouth, yet quite dry, with caramel and a pleasant bitterness. Full body. A quite nice one, tasteful, but not very complex. 110429

Refreshing. soapy and citrus-like aroma. Very much like tripel. Palate is dry. Flavour has citrus too and it is rather close to Duvel. Pleasant, but does not reach the top.

Golden colour, firm white head. Aroma malty, light hoppy, quite pronounced yeast. Vanilla, apricot, some white pepper. Flavour malty, apricot, quite sweet. Pleasant bitterness coming through. I quite like this one!
Though I’m taking into account that part of the appeal might be that this beer was my break from Jupiler and Dommelsch @ Rock Werchter.
(Bottle @ Café ’t Anker, Haacht)
