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.

Flesje (tht sept. 2020) thuis gedronken. Goudgeel helder bier met matig schuim dat als een film blijft liggen. Aroma is zeer moutig. Smaak is zoet en fruitig (appel, mandarijn). De appel smaak blijft even hangen om later plaats te maken voor een iets bittere hoppige nasmaak. Ondanks de hoge leeftijd nog altijd goed te drinken.

4.5/10
Sweet, worty stuff. Something floral, light citrus. Not bad at all for a non-alcoholic, but maybe not something for easy drinking.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 24A adapted: alcohol free). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 2351528V0050 (BB SEP-23). AROMA: medium citrus peel and coriander aroma with a medium-low cereal and beer-must like background character. APPEARANCE: pale yellow color and hazy. Medium-low white head with medium retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial medium-low citrus peel and coriander flavor, followed by medium-low cereal, bready and must-like background character with a slight sweetness. Medium bitterness with a semi-sweet finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: taking into account it’s a alcohol free Wit, its quite drinkable.
