Description
The first document attesting to a brewery in Cazeau is dated 17 october 1753. After 7 generations of family members running the brewery, the brewing ceased in 1969. In 2004, 35 years after the last brewing activities, Laurent Agache, 8th generation family member, started a partnership with his cousin and friend Quentin Mariage, to revitalize the brewery. They renovated the buildings and bought second hand equipment in the North of England. Currently, the brewery offers five beers with great character that are neither filtered nor pasteurized, all of which are refermented in the bottle.

If the brewery is keen on the traditional manufacturing process, it is nevertheless oriented towards innovation through a continuous search for new tastes so that beer aficionados will ever be surprised. At Brasserie de Cazeau, new typified hops, of various origins, are unceasingly tested and mixed in order to obtain beers with original, refined flavours.

Elderberry-flowered saison with rocky, yellowish white head and murky ochre colour. Aroma does reveal the typical fragrance of elderberry flowers (not uncommonly used in Belgian beers and liqueurs), except from bread, wheat, vanilla, jute, dried apricots, orange peel... Dried fruit in the onset, green apple, subdued citrus touch and equally subdued malt sweetness, bit bready but otherwise rather neutral, finish flowery and grassy, nothing really bitter, primarily malty and bit bready. Knowing this brewery’s style and being an amateur of the old saison style, I may have expected a bit more from this.

Great beer. Like a Belgian stout, with not as sweet. Has a pleasent dry taste of roasted malt and coffee. Very good.
