Brouwerij Serafijn (prev. Microbrouwerij Achilles)

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.

Golden color with yeast flakes. Very small head. Yeast, orange and slight honey aroam and flavor. Good lacing. Not too bad, but maybe a bit disappointing. The yeastiness dominates in the aftertaste.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Cloudy, big lumps of yeast floating. Orange liquor and yeast in the aroma and flavor. Flowery, cologne, some alcohol, grape sugar. Sweetish, fruity tripel with enough flavor to be worthwile tasting. 6 2 7 3 13 = 3.1 Re-rate called Serafijn Tripel (with only one P). Citrus, cream and hops in the aroma. Citric flavor with anis , licorice and some hops. Hint of pineapple. Hopbitter, just a bit yeasty aftertaste. Losing the second P has done this beer well.

Got this beer from the chairman of this chessclub. The beer was sold during a tournament in Hengelo. Blonde. Mangoaroma, with a hint of flowers. Flowery, citric, slightly perfumed flavor. The alcohol is almost unnoticed. A yeasty, citric bitterness in the aftertaste. Likeable.
