Description
Brouwerij De Smedt werd opgericht omstreeks 1790. Tussen 2000 en 2003 werd ze stapsgewijs door Heineken overgenomen, wat resulteerde in een naamsverandering in Affligem Brouwerij. Op 1 mei 2010 werd het vennootschap "Affligem Brouwerij BDS" opgeheven en werd het een onderdeel van Alken-Maes c.q. Heineken België. Vandaag is de brouwerij in Opwijk vooral het kennis- en brouwcentrum voor alle Affligembieren.

Bottle picked up from Hoogvliet Steenovenweg, Supermarket near our hotel 2l de Blend, Utrecht, Thursday 8th January 2026 after a long train journey from Plattling today. Pours mid gold with a large white head, it's a bit on the sweet side and the abv is stronger than I expected, genuinely didn't think it was going to be 9% but here we are. Nice mouthfeel, soft with a spicy bitterness. Good.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with Et in The Hague. Poured a murky dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is sugary malt. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, sugary, light toffee, red berry fruit palate. Over medium bodied with average carbonation.

Tap at Olijfje, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Pours transparent blonde, with fine white foam. Aroma is cereal and herbaceous. Body is average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is pretty bitter for a Belgian blonde, interestingly continuing in the final as well.
