A golden yellow multi-grain beer. The beer undergoes dry hopping, a technique in which extra hops are added in cold lagering, which emphasizes the character. A fresh, full and bitter aftertaste makes this unique beer a real experience. Brewed since 2013.

Authentic abbey ale, brewed for the well-known Averbode abbey since 2013. Moussy off-white, slowly disintegrating head over a misty golden blonde beer. Malty and vaguely fruity aroma with impressions of green apple, grains (spelt is actually used), coriander, fresh bread, white pepper, unripe peaches, pumpkin, flowers; taste a light apply fruitiness, some dried apricot, soft spicy tones and quite sharp carbonation, a subtle, wheaty sourishness (almost certainly the spelt sticking its head up), soft pils malt, a hint of caramel, towards the finish more bready and yeasty accompanied by a leafy hop bitterishness, quite long. A typical Huyghe beer if you ask me, not that far away from Delirium Tremens and the like. And like almost all other Huyghe beers, it failed to really convince me.

Blond, yellow colour, a lot of white foam. Lively carbonation. Light sweet taste with bitter hoppy finish. Good drinkable but nothing exceptional. Boring belgian tripel.

Bottle. Pale yellow with spongy white head, malt aroma, slightly metallic taste followed by the sweetness of a high alcohol brew, medium carbonation, longish finish. Happy to report that the metallic taste disappeared with the second mouthful.

Bottle at the Brouwcafe, Scheveningen. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is light yeast. The flavour is medium bitter with a fresh crisp yeast, hop bitter, boozy alcohol palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. A "poor" mans Duvel.

Very metallic-golden beer, medium carbonated, clear; all the yeast collected on the bottom. Initially big, but soon reduced white head. Bit spicy nose, with the unmistakable scorched sugar/alcohol/toasted malt Huyghe imprint; yeasty esters. Sharp, dry flavour with toasted-bitterish and sweet components; yeast-intoned. Hints at spices & herbs, impossible to say which, probably yeastesters, really. Sharp, dry, alcoholic. Heard that one somewhere before. Really? Oh, can’t be Trappist everybody that might want to.

330mL bottle at Delices et Caprices, pours a clear pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out dry crackery malts and lots of grains. Flavour brings out lots of yeast, sweet cereal malts, light dry hops, and champagne yeast. Very lively carbonation that brings out the complexity. Excellent tripel.
