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.

Sweetish, quite spicy, gently yeasty and a bit fruity-floral aroma of coriander, vanilla, banana, honey and some orange peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently yeasty, quite spicy and just a little fruity-floral taste of grains, vanilla, banana, coriander and some orange peel, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite dry, a little chalky finish.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a golden/amber colour with a large throthy white head. Aromas of honey, caramel, biscuits, coriander, floral, some orange peel and spice. Taste has similar notes to the aroma, fruity and floral, honey sweet and peppery spice. Medium to full body, average carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Lingering finish. Nice Tripel
