Brouwerij Serafijn

Client Brewer in Heist-op-den-Berg, Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated Venue: Huisbrouwerij Achilles - Out of business

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.

Bought a bottle of this beer at Tilburg Drinkt 2010, together with the Wolf 8. This one had a better smell, but the Wolf 8 tasted better. Both pretty nice beers though.

Bought this bottle together with Wolf 7 at Tilburg Drinkt 2010. Liked this one better. Pretty sweet but still nice and a very good carbo and body.

330 ml bottle at Oud Aresnal in Antwerpen. (I hope this is the right beer as I noticed the beer as Paternos, but can’t find any other match and the abv is the same). Slightly hazy amber body with a small, dense tan head. Aroma is mild malty, hint of burnt sugar and spicy. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, slightly burnt brown sugar and moderate bitterness. Body is medium plus. Quite typical dubbel style but pleasant, actually had another bottle even if there was a lot more exciting stuff to try. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a nice beer.

Mild bananiger Antrunk. Es ist zu Beginn zudem eine hellmalzige Süße vorhanden, die aber schnell milder wird und eine ebenfalls nur milde Herbe freilegt. Darüber hinaus wird das Bier erst im Abgang interessant, hier kommen alkoholische Kräuternoten hervor, die Grundwürzigkeit steigt, das Bier wird spürbar aromatischer. Nett.

Das Bier startet mit einer holzigen Note, die hinter der starken Karbonisierung aber erst entdeckt werden muss. Die Malzigkeit ist das stärkste Aroma, scheint sein Potential aber nicht ganz auszuschöpfen. Hefig, zum Ende aber eher wässrig, was angesichts des Alkoholgehalts überrascht. Wenig herb. Trinkbar.
