Description
De naam “Corsendonk” verwijst naar de priorij van Corsendonk, een voormalig augustijner klooster te Oud-Turnhout. De priorij bestond van 1398 tot 1784. Vanaf 1906 werd de brouwerijtraditie van Priorij Corsendonk door Henricus Keersmaekers (de grondlegger van de dynastie) met zijn eigen brouwerij te Oud-Turnhout voortgezet. In 1952 werd gestopt met het zelf brouwen van bier en werd de firma een distributiebedrijf. In 1982 werd op vraag en met de steun van de Oud-Turnhoutse VVV gestart met de productie van Corsendonk-bier.

Het bier wordt van begin af aan gebrouwen door Brouwerij du Bocq. Later is de familie Keersmaeker 100% eigenaar geworden van du Bocq. Dat was een geleidelijk proces waarbij gedurende een periode van 10 jaar elk jaar 10% van de brouwerij werd gelocht. Het was pas in 2014 dat bekend werd gemaakt dat de familie Keersmaeker 100% eigenaar waren van de brouwerij.

Bottled. Deep, hazy golden with long lasting, white head. No prominent notes, just some slight, fruity sweetness that also appear in taste, but stronger, and combined with hay and malty notes. Short, sweet finish with soft carbonation and light body. Not bad, but rather mediocre.

Bottled. Pours deep brown with off-white head. Roasted malts, coffee and some other notes that make its aroma ’brown ale-ish’. Sweet taste with the samr notes and very flat carbonation. Light bodied, easily drinkable.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5

Bottled. Pours rose colour with wuickly disappearing head. Wouldn’t be bad, but painfully dull and one dimensional, only the fruity sweetness comes through, and nothing else. Quite light bodied with well hidden ABV and lively carbonation. Mediocre.
