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.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Almost black, with a beige head. Dried fruits, roasted malt and alcohol notes in the aroma. The flavor has dried fruits, alcohol, caramel and spices. Medium to full body. A bit too much alcohol-flavor, else it is a nice beer. (061028)

A hazy orange beer with a small orange head. The aroma is yeasty, dusty and flowery, while the flavor is sweet yeasty, but also with some dusty and spicy notes as well as hints of the alcohol. Straight down the middle of the road blonde.

Bottled (BB 06/2007)
Hazy, darkish orange, lively carbonation, small but steady white head. Fruity, a bit woody nose with some spices similar to Fantome beers. Medium-bodied, woody, some hops, spices and added sugar. Dry aftertaste. I found "saison-touch" here.

Bottled. Beautifully cloudy golden with creamt head. Light orangey nose. Sweet and malty with soft mouthfeel. Less lively than many other tripels. Notes of vanilla and toffee, drying out towards the grassy finish. Stylish and well balanced.

Very hazy amber-orange, amberish head, retreating noisily. Honey, overripe banana, fruity, citrus and quite generally yeasty-estery nose. Dry bittersweet, with a sourish lining, very much citrusflavour, including citruspeel. Candisugar addition is obvious. Quite carbonated MF, superimposing on nearly bone-dry beer, nearly tart. I’m convinced this is one for ageing. All the elements of the balance are there, but still appear individually. I guess time will take care of blending them, and then...
