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 !

Chapeau Pêche from Brouwerij De Troch
19 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Pours deep gold into a tumbler. Apple, pear and sour peach aromas. Sweet, stale, flat peach juice with a cloyingly sweet syrupy finish -- tastes like fruit cocktail juice...only sweeter.

Bottled. Clear, golden with an off-white head. Unripe apples, sourness and sweat horse in the nose. The flavor has horseblanket, apples, citrus and notes of cider vinegar. Thin, sticky and astringent body. It is too sweet for a gueuze. (070302)

I ordered a De Troch Geuze and got this :( Bottle, 5.5%. Moldy, sour aroma. Hazy brown colour. OK white head. Sweet, moldy flavour with a hint of sourness. Way too sweet, making it a faro IMO.
