About
19th century land-use plan of the area mentions a brewery owned by a certain Petronnella De Troch.
Even older records indicate that her father, Pieter De Troch, was running a brewery on the same site in the late 18th century. Petronnella married Egidius De Troch and in 1898 their son Louis took the family business over. Louis Married J. De Neve, and their son, also Louis, inherited the brewery and farm in 1936. The same Louis married M.L. Van den Moortel.
Their nephew Jos Raes and his wife M. Vanderhasselt took on the family tradition in 1974 and have been running this rare craft brewery ever since. In 2002, their son Pauwel Raes joined his parents into the family business.
In July 2012 Pauwel & his wife Kristel Schelfthout took over the brewery to continue the brewery tradition !

250ml bottle. Hazy orange beer with a small head. Aroma is actually not bad at all, not too extreme pineapple. Flavor is worse, extreme artificial pineapple juice and some coco. Much too sweet.

5.2/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
A hazy purple kriek with a very thin rosey white head. Aroma of sweet cherry, musty, citric points. In mouth, this beer comes out a bit week compared to the St. Louis Premium Peche, since the lactic acidity which I long for in such a beer is lacking here. A good cherry base, again musty a lightly oxidized, a bit lacklustre mouthfeel, lighter bodied, short in mouth. Bieropholie import Nov. 2005. No BB date.
