Slightly aged sample Medium, but dwindling off-white head over finely carbonated orange-golden beer with a full suspension of micro-UFO's. Oxydated, old cookies, Backerbsen, sweet. More of the same, plus meatesters, making it a bit soupy. Definitely past its prime. Oxydated, old cookies, also a bit of other grains. Alcoholic-sweet. Very slick, alcoholthinning, not very carbonated. Accuses its age, also according Stef having it had fresh. Not bad, nowhere great. Strange to have a tripel brewed in a typical lager brewery. Thanks to Stef!

25/VI/18 - 33cl bottle @ Cultuurcafé's Trappistenweek (Berlare) - BB: 17/XI/18 (2018-804) Thanks to Ama (Ronny) and Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Pretty clear orange beer, small solid off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit metallic, malty, sweetish, oxidized, fruity, caramel, some honey. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty sweet, very malty, honey, oxidized. Aftertaste: more honey, bit sweet, sugary, soft bitterness, orange peel. Not that bad, but not a great beer either, and definitely not a Belgian style tripel...

Fles gekocht in Duitsland, geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een amberkleurig bier met een dunne schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige geur en smaak.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and Thompson. Clear dark orange golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste are both quite awful: very herbal, very sweet, sweet honey and a foul aftertaste that I can’t really describe. Bleh. Wasted money.

Bottle. Color: Gold to amber, white head. Taste: Medium sweet, yeasty, some hopbitter notes, hints of caramel and sugar. On the sweet side, but overall a pretty good German beer.

0.33 l bottle from ’Craftbeer.de’, best before May 2017. Clear, amber, quite a few chuncs floating, with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, perfumy, slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of caramel, orange jam, dried apricot, candi sugar and some honey. Rather sweet, sugary, perfumy and yeasty-spicy taste of honey, orange jam, peach, vanilla, candi sugar, some clove and a bit of caramel, followed by a long, slightly bitter, yeasty-spicy, quite boozy and almost peppery finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and a bit effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. So finally got to try the German ’trappist’. Not bad actually, but quite boozy, maybe better with some age on it. Overall not a good Tripel though.

0,33 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot mate! Okay, little bit over the BB date, maybe one years plus ... Sweet grain, some malt in the nose, bready. Hidden alcohol. Not really complex, like a little bit stronger "Landbier". Can not really convince.

Many thanks to kappldav123 for this bottle. The beer starts smooth and alcoholic-sharp. Not too sweet, more bitter with the nice blond and typical Abbey-Tripel sweetness. Till the end the beer gets more dry and bitter, the sweetness is still present, but a bitter-sry and slightly sharp aroma is dominating. On The tongue remains a sweetish-smooth and bitter-sharp flavour. Interesting, but a bit unround.

I was very surprised to learn that a thoroughly Belgian, top-fermented beer style is apparently made in Germany, as this is the closest beer they have to a trappist ale, made by Bitburger for the Mariawald abbey in the Eiffel region, Germany’s only trappist abbey. Named after the 15th-century founder of the abbey, this beer indeed presents itself in much the same way as any Belgian abbey tripel would: yellowish pale beige, thinnish and eventually breaking head of somewhat irregular structure, a deep and warm orange blond colour with small yeast flakes floating around everywhere even after careful pouring; an aroma of toasted bread, cookie dough, candied orange, bourbon, hazelnut, grass, dust, mango, tomato, tobacco, banana, butterscotch, vanilla; and a fruity, malt sweet taste, with full and fluffy, soft mouthfeel, a bit oily, peach-like fruitiness in the onset, caramelly and nutty malt sweetness, a bit toasted in the end with a yeasty and herbally hop bitterish finish, through which some gin-like, warming alcohol pierces without becoming astringent. Tasted blind, I would have identified this as being Belgian, but certainly not as being German. Putting beer culture stereotypes aside, I think this is indeed a very fine and decent tripel. Surprising find, thanks to Filip for bringing me the bottle all the way from Germany.
