About
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.

6.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle: Reddish-amber coloured, small, but very firm off-white head; fruity (lemon, orange, orange-peel), herbal nose with a tinge of turpentine (?); swee-malty and fruity (citrus) flavour, a bit vinous, too, creamy, but also fizzy mouthfeel; fruity finish with some late hoppy bitterness. O.K. and pleasant, much better than - from Heineken - expected................

Blond - Blonde from Brouwerij Affligem

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottled. Hazy orange/brownish colour with mediumsized beige head. Aroma of citrus, yeast and hops. Flavour is quite strongly hopped, but still very pleasant. Malts and some acidic hints also show up. Short finish and aftertaste. Alcohol warms in the aftertaste, not while drinking. Biting carbonation and a bit oily palate, yet again papery dry afterwards.

Noël (Christmas Ale) from Brouwerij Affligem

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
2003 bottle. Pour is a very murky brown with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is musty dark fruits and a nutmeg-cinnamon spice. Flavor is brown candy sugar with a touch of an apple tang to it. Lots of Christmas spice rolls over the tounge. A very interisting and spice laden brew. Warms as its goes down and very tasty.

Leeuwse Witte Blanche du Lion from Brouwerij Affligem

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Exuberant fine & dense white head over pale yellow beer, very little haze. Warm, perfumed coriander (lots of it) smell, bit of toasted malts (?). Fresh sourish taste, citrussy, but unfortunately gone too quick, reverting to a very neutral to soft sweetish beer, with a background coriander flavour. Reasonably refreshing, light bodied. Looks as if it is a Pilsener, one sniff helps you out of the dream. Another wit. Pierre, what have you done?

Pater's Vat Christmas from Brouwerij Affligem

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Pretty aged sample Dark brown beer with red highlights, still carbonation to faint rim of foam. Very nutty aroma, resembling some drink as old Madeira or aged Armenian brandy. Toffee, grapes in chocolate, vinous, incense. Pure dark brandy taste, "watered" down with some sweet wine, liqueurish. Retronasal hints of coffee and slightly burnt caramel. Each new sip again a vinous assault with caramel and raisins. Only negative effect of the aging is the thinning out, watering of the texture, which still leaves for an oily, slick MF. Medium bodied at least. WOW. I’m impressed De Smedts’ beers can age that well. This is rather exceptional.

Bottled, alc. 6.8% (BB 05/2007)
Dark ruby color, good tanned creamy head, lace. Fruity, spicey licorice aroma with oaky notes. Medium-bodied, smooth . Spicey, dry, slightly alcoholic. Bitterish aftertaste. Reasonable balanced but aroma promises more than flavor gives.

50cl bottle from Carrefour. Golden beer with thin white head. Some yeast/citrus/candy sugar/caramel aromas. Not great in mouth with over carbonation. Slightly metallic. Candy sugar dominates then harsh hops. Not a good construction and poor balance
