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.

Drinking a slightly older bottle @ home. Smells and tastes pretty malty and not very herbal. Has a nice sweetness to it. Simple. Combined with pretty low carbo it’s quite a smooth and enjoyable triple for me.

Donkergeel bier met stevig schuim. Smaak is krachtig hoppig, licht bitter en licht zoet met iets van ananas en abrikoos. Erg zachte smaak, erg goed.

33 cl bottle at In ’t Kruisken (Lier). Pours pale amber. Head is off-white and very thick. Aroma is Danish cookies, orange, butter. In the mouth it feels wide, mouth-covering, slightly sour. Medium-lasting finish without much bitterness.

Sampled @ ZBF 2016. (Thank you for sharing RB people!) Dark brown, creamy tanned head. Nose is sweet herbal licorice, umami, bark. Taste is dull slab of extreme licorice, herbal, brown sugar, bark, big licorice sweetness. Very licorice heavy, nothing bad or wrong with this beer, this is too much licorice for me to fully embrace.
