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.

500ml can from Noz. Pours a generally clear gold, medium white collar. Tastes a bit industrial, has a cheap syrupy Heineken influence.. pretty average blonde tbh.. Not sure there was much monk overseeing going on that day.

I drank this beer on the TGV from Geneva to Paris.It is not my favourite Belgian Brewery. The ingredients are cheap, sugar, malty and a taste a bit metalic. 05.08.2016
