Description
Marsine Brewery:
Nicolas Declercq and Tanguy van der Eecken started their adventure in 2013. Their plan? To recreate a brewery in the impressive Marsinne farm and country house in the Hesbaye village of Couthuin. From the very beginning, beyond the pair’s passion for malt and hops, the project adopted a sustainable dimension. A brewery, yes, but a fair, responsible and equitable one!

Léopold 7:
A little known fact is that a brewery already existed on the site around the mid 19th century. Legend has it (confirmed by ancient documents found in dusty trunks) that it was run by a certain Léopold. It was clear what the name for the product should be to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity.
As for the number 7, it’s simple! Our beers are made from 7 ingredients: three types of cereals (two malts and one wheat), and three types of hops (two aromatic and one bitter). The seventh ingredient is what we call the Léopold touch: an unconventional aromatic bouquet that gives our beers their characteristic flavour.

The future is now!:
In 2020, Nicolas Declercq is the only remaining original member, but the Léopold 7 team has grown over the years with the addition of three young brewers, two sales representatives and a new director, all of whom are passionate about brewing. Strengthened by this shared passion, we are devoted to creating new, modern and unconventional beers, always remaining faithful to the Léopold 7 values: 100% craft production, local sourcing and sustainable values at every stage of the elaboration of our beers, which are all brewed on site. Our latest creations, sold in premium 100% recyclable aluminium cans, are to be enjoyed however you like!

Bottle @ home thx to benzai. Clear orange to amber colour with a small white head. Smells lots of metal/iron, slightly fruity but the metallic smells is blocking it. Tastes iron, ’lekbal van de kermis’, artificial sweet, herbs.. Bizarre mix of flavours. Thin body, soft carbo.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear dark orange to amber color, small white to off - white head. Smell malts, iron, herbs or spices. Taste malts, herbs or spices, iron, leaves, a touch of overripe fruits. Medium body and carbonation. Hmm not very nice imo.

Fast disappearing off-white head over hazy orange-amberish beer. Fresh malts, garden herbs, indifferent aromas of garden weeds. Sharpish weedy, yeasy flavour. Spicy as pepper or gingerroot. Not very distinctive, crude-ish flavourprofile. Spritzy feels force-carbonated, especially compared to the visual. Not exactly an enjoyable discovery, needs work.

Apparently brewed by close friends of a consultant at work … this is how I learned about this one. 33 cl. Bottle with fancy design. Apparently everything is organic about this beer. Orange with a white head. Very flowery, spices nose, sweet oranges, honey and peel. Strong spices, alternative / farm malts, flowers, light minerals, honey and something off / odd, wild herbs, something non-eatable, biological / organic. Medium body – very farm and organic / there is something to be said for this despite the score.

Bouteille au 3ième festival Brassicole de Tournai. Tout porte à croire que cette jeune brasserie a mis le paquet dans son design; du verre, au site, à la bouteille, aux bacs, etc. Soit, tout cela donne-t-il lieu à une bonne bière? Je trouve ici une couleur orangée, col est beige léger. Arôme est fruité, et de suite je suis interpellé par une ou des épices. Une volonté de la brasserie de ne pas la divulguer sur son site, je ne vois pas pq, mais soit, je pense quant à moi au curaçao, coriandre voire clou de girofle.Ce bouquet épice est justement le maux ici, qui au final domine et met le houblonnage et malt en retrait. Palais est aussi agréablement épicé, le tout offrant un palais malté dans le style pâle-cara avec un léger biscuité. Note un côté fruité de pelure d’orange et tjrs ce côté clou de girofle. C’est ce côté épicé qui devient un peu de trop au bout d’un verre avec un houblon ajoutant une brève amertume citronné pour un houblonnage restant quant à lui neutre par rapport à l’épice dégagé par la bière. Sympa, légère et parfaite pour un temps plus chaud.
