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.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottle. Spicy aroma. Unclear, pale yellow colour. Big white head. Sweet flavour, some spices and hint of citrus. High carbonation gives a swelling mouthfeel.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Nice amber ale with an off white head. Malty aroma with notes of candy sugar and light resinous hops. Fresh crisp malt with light hops but nice cirtusy notes in final, with pepper. Medium bodied. Bought at Delhaize.

A hazy pale yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is wheaty and slightly acidic with notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet wheaty - very wheaty - which gives it a dry end.

Bottled. Ruby red colour with big foamy beigish head. Plum and malt in aroma. Bitter fruitish flavour with some weak plummy hints. Alcohol also present in flavour. A bit artificial flavours in this one...

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale amber with a lovely, fluffy head - only a slight haze. Very pronounced maltiness, some fruits in there too - from the top-yeast. Very bitter finish makes this one well-balanced and refreshing indeed. 291297

Delhaize Premium Pils from Brouwerij Affligem

4.2/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4
(Bottle 25 cl) Yet another pilsener from Martens - this time brewed for the Delhaize supermarkets. Pale golden, small white head. Flowery nose, good malty body and a rather bitter finish. An all-malt beer and very German in style. Far from the softer Belgian pils-style. 051297

Noël (Christmas Ale) from Brouwerij Affligem

(Bottle 33 cl) In my version called "Affligem Christmas". Mahogany with a very reddish hue and only slightly hazy. Nice, creamy head. Licorice in both aroma and flavour. Extremely flavouful with caramel- notes and a very warming alcohol. 051104

Napoleon from Brouwerij Affligem

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
(Bottle 25 cl) For some reason I had expected a pilsener in here (must have overlooked the acohol...), but nothing could be further from the truth. Guess this is what the Belgians would call a "double dark", a rich, dark, malty beer with a strong alcohol. Very complex beer with notes of dessert-wine and dried fruits + notes of both chocolate and anise. Lightly bitter finish. Yet another hidden Belgian gem. 020897

Leeuwse Witte Blanche du Lion from Brouwerij Affligem

4.1/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 3.5
(Bottle 25 cl) Comes as "Delhaize Witbier". This label contains absolutely no brewery information, but according to the "Proud to be Belgian" -site it’s from De Smedt. Which makes perfect sense since this brewery brews a lot of products for the supermarket chains "Delhaize" and "GB". Unfortunately this is a clear disappointment. Pale, hazy yellow with a pretty, huge head. But the beer has a very unpleasant tang of.... clorine! Yuck. Not recommended - but don’t stay away from other supermarket own brands - they’re often good value for money. 181096

Blond - Blonde from Brouwerij Affligem

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
This beer has a color that is somewhere between orange and amber and when poured in a tulip glass a huge off-white head. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, and spicy - I pick up peaches, oranges, and coriander. The flavor is sweet with notes of the alcohol, that makes its presence known by giving off heat, but also notes of almost overripe fruits, like peaches and apples, that have just turned a bit more sweet and mellow, than when perfectly ripe. In the end coriander gives it a dry end. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated.
