Victoria wordt gebrouwen ter ere van de overwinning in 1695 van de aartsengel Sint-Michiel, beschermheilige van Brussel en verdedigt het eeuwenoude Belgische erfgoed met zijn natuurlijke ingrediënten met tweede gisting op fles.
Het unieke brouwproces met alleen deze natuurlijke ingrediënten en de hoge carbonisatie resulteren in een uiterst drinkbaar bier met 8,5% alcohol.
De brouwers selecteerden de fijnste rijst om Victoria een pure smaak en een heldere gouden kleur te geven.
Het verfrissend kruidig hoparoma dat typisch is voor een klassiek sterk Belgisch blond bier is perfect gebalanceerd met fruitige toetsen afkomstig van de drie hop variëteiten, waaronder de edelhop Saaz en Fuggle.

Grand Cru
Grand Cru is a speciality beer carefully crafted. This extra-blond amber nectar masterpiece undergoes refermentation in the bottle, resulting in a beer endowed with unforgettable character. The secret lies in the unique combination of the most noble hops and the finest aromatic ingredients. Grand Cru differs from other beers in the range by its absence of spices. Its full, white head is light and frothy, and when poured it creates a subtle lace effect. The very pale colour of Grand Cru lends clarity and brilliance to its body. Grand Cru’s delicate nose is a veritable cascade of hoppy aromas with hints of fruitiness coupled with subtlety and sheer richness. When savoured, the first sip is light and intriguing. The next impression is one of a slight bitterness full of captivating nuances. When it hits the palate, Grand Cru creates a lingering moment of hoppiness, rounded off by an intense yet pleasant bitterness.
Malheur 10° (Millennium)
Malheur 10° is also called Malheur Millennium (MM). MM is the year 2000 in Roman numerals. This beer was actually introduced to the market in the year 2000.
Beer connoisseur Michael Jackson (The Beer Hunter www.beerhunter.com) describes the aroma of the blonde Malheur 10° as “a pinkish peach with notes of spicy orange and lemon peel. The beer literally boasts a bright yellow colour and a rich honey texture, it is somewhat oily too but with incredible body and a bitter sour note in the warm aftertaste. In short this blonde tasting beer that contains 10% alcohol by volume will delight beer enthusiasts the world over”.
La Chouffe Blond
The gnomes of Fairyland are particularly fond of this golden beer. LA CHOUFFE, with its slight hoppy taste, combining notes of fresh coriander and fruity tones, is the drink which gives them their zest for life. At least, that’s what these imps say when they are thirsty. Their secret used to be jealously guarded from one generation to the next until the day they shared the recipe with humans to seal their friendship. Of all the legends from the wonderful region of the Belgian Ardennes, the tale of LA CHOUFFE is the one which most merits re-telling.

La Trappe Isid’or
Amber-coloured Trappist ale with a broken white head. A lovely combination of herbal, floral and fruity aromas. La Trappe Isid’or was first brewed in 2009 on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of The Koningshoeven Brewery. The harmonious taste starts off fruity and shifts to malty caramel. A perfectly balanced ale. The ale is named after Brother Isidorus, the abbey’s first brewer. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter.
