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.

Speciale Op-Ale 1832 from Brouwerij Affligem
21 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
(Bottle 25 cl) Amber beer with a beautiful retentive head. Appears watery in the beginning but then you’re hit by some dry, floral hoppiness. Nice and refreshing - and no stronger than pils, as the label says. Same family as palm and de Koninck. 300695

Blond - Blonde from Brouwerij Affligem
21 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottled, alc. 6.8 % (BB 10/2005)
Hazy golden, honey-like color, firm small white head. Weak fruity nose with some grassy notes. Medium-bodied, hints of sugar then some fruityness and ending to hoppy bitterness. Quite drinkable and balanced but flavors could be stronger.

GB Speciale Wit from Brouwerij Affligem

3.6/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit - especially apples. The flavor is plainly wheat with a dry end and a thin body.

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottled 25cl (BB 10/2005)
Copper brown, small creamy off-white head, lace. Interesting herbal aroma with leather and yeast. Hard thin mouthfeel: metal start, then bitter hoppy flavors and bitter aftertaste. Quite thin and carbonated. Like Belgium version of English bitter.

GB Special Amber (De Smedt) from Brouwerij Affligem
21 years ago
5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
(Bottle 25 cl) Beautiful amber colour, although the label rather confusingly claims that this beer is "light as a pilsener". I mean, whats the point in producing an amber if you’d rather it looked like a pils? Anyways, De Smedt didn’t succeed - this is an archetypical "Amber" or "Speciale" in the same vein as De Koninck or Palm. Small, creamy head. Some caramel sweetness balanced by some hoppiness. High carbonation. 120305 and 111199

Tripel - Triple from Brouwerij Affligem

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden with a huge creamy head. Quite some sweet malt in a delicious balance with the not too dominating hops. Spiced and very fresh but perhaps not the most outstanding of tripels. 200893

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown, nice full head. Malty caramel flavours although not very dominating. Some sugars but drier and less sweet than the similar types from Grimbergen and Leffe. Classical dubbel. 180893

Bottle. Malty, sweet aroma, some brown sugar. Dark chestnut brown colour.Unstable, fizzy, bright head. Dry flavour, bordering on harsh, hint of malt and acidity. I prefer my dubbels sweeter.

(bottle from a Delhaize supermarket) Hazy pale yellow colour with a medium white head. Strong aroma of orange peel with yeast and a coriander note. Clean and refreshing taste. Initially orange fruity with wheat and a smooth spicy finish.

Dikkenek (... - 2000) from Brouwerij Affligem
21 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
(Bottle 25 cl) A three grain beer with juniper is rather unusual, even for Belgium. Very dark, light brownish head. Lots of sweetness but not cloying due to the low alcohol. And the hops are indeed present as well. Strange but very pleasant. 010693
