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.

330mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out that classic Belgian yeast ester character, light candi sugar, and gentle champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is bright and nicely carbonated, with a very nice Belgian yeast expression, champagne-like effervescence, very gentle candi sugar, and an assertive carbonation to round it out. Expertly brewed -- not too sweet, and the sweetness that's there is subdued by the carb. Excellent.

Seit langen trinke ich wieder mal ein wirklich starkes Tripelbier aus Belgien. Es hat intensive Aromen nach Obst, aber auch nach Obstler. Dazu ein bisschen Malz und noch Kirschlikör. Mir persönlich zu schnapsig und stark. Wenn es warm wird, wird es freundlicher, aber der harte alkoholische Kern bleibt.

Bottle from Delhaize, Ostend, Belgium. A golden/amber coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Sweet, yeasty, fruity, spice taste/aroma. Not overly complex but still an enjoyable Belgian Tripel.

SLightly dark orange/golden pour with a white head. Aromas of citrus, bread/malt, some hops. Taste similar, not to bitter - decent finish. Not bad for an alcohol-free beer.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, some slight floral, mild spicy and yeasty notes. Flavour is very sweet, spicy, some wooden and mild old/aged tones to it. Quite a balanced brew. Alcohol is wellhidden, but gives a nice body to the beer.
