A refreshing, bright beer with a magnificent golden colour, Sezoens in a nutshell!

  • Taste

    A refreshingly subtle balance between bitter and fruity. Sweet and malty in the mouth with a distinct hoppy finish.

  • Aroma

    The expert selection of aromatic hops and the dry-hopping process is what gives Sezoens its distinct hoppy and fruity nose.

  • Ingredients

    No animal ingredients whatsoever are added at any stage of the production process, only water, the best malted barley and selected Tettnang hops.

  • Combination

    Sezoens pairs beautifully with aromatic fish courses, and with flavoursome dishes as you would find in Asian cuisine.

First Dry-Hop

Sezoens has a pronounced taste thanks to the dry-hopping procedure.

At the end of the ageing process the hops are added one last time. Thanks to this finishing touch the aromas get a prominent spot in the flavour range of Sezoens.

Professionally served

Sezoens tastes best when served with a decent head in a cup-shaped glass: 2/3 golden brew, 1/3 head. Serve well chilled and savour in good company.

Sezoens' Story

History

Sezoens has been brewed since 1867, using a natural process and nothing less than the finest malt. This possibly makes it the oldest dry-hopped beer in the world.

1852

Frans Martens took over his parents’ brewery. Under his leadership, Brewery Martens experienced its first golden era. It is he who saw to the first upgrade of the brewery.

1867

In 1867, Frans Martens began brewing Sezoens to a recipe he developed himself. Initially, it was brewed during the cold winter months and not drunk until summertime. Take a close look at the label and you’ll see how Old Man Winter hands over the new brew to the Summer Maiden.

1994

Jan and Fons Martens, the eighth generation of brewers, have been at the helm of the Brewery since 1994. To them goes the credit for turning us into an international player and the second largest brewery in the country today.

2019

Anno 2019, Sezoens is known as an ideal reception beer and as the beer from here. More than ever, it has become Brewery Martens’s flagship brew. And since we’ve been producing it for more than 150 years, to the very same recipe, it quite simply oozes our family history. We take great pride in the fact that today’s Sezoens still tastes the same as the one Frans Martens created 150 years ago.
