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.

Explodes from the bottle. Pours a dull orange colour. Sweet candy aroma with a hint of malt. Massive carbonation in the mouth. Strong candy flavour dominates with some softer, fruity notes. A little warming alcohol in the finish.

A hazed golden ale with an extra frothy thick off white head. Aroma of rising bread, coriander, green limes, and herbs. In mouth, a nice light sweet candy sugar, with orange peels, creamy mouthfeel, light metallic hops, and warming alcohol finale. Real nice. Bieropholie import.

Bottled(330ml). -Trade with faroeviking (thanks Jacob!)
Murky orange coloured, medium sized white head, lively carbonation, slight alcoholic fruity nose. Very fruity, mild spicy and yeasty taste. Alcohol is quite noticable but still easy drinkable brew.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who got it in a trade with faroeviking (thanks!) A huge gusher at first, settled on a murky darker peachy colour with a medium sized thick head. Lemony, slightly dusty sticky sweet maltiness, some light alcohol. Jam-like sweet fruity malty taste, silky smooth body, some alcohol but no burn. No bitterness, pleasant. Fine, drinkable but nothing too special I guess.
