One of the standard beers of one of France's pioneering 'new generation' brewers, strange that I did not have this one before - so thanks Jarno for bringing me this bottle from northern France! Quite a fierce gusher upon lifting the crown cap, but the gushing stopped relatively suddenly as well. Medium thick, off-white, sparsely lacing, uneven-bubbled, medium thick head thinning in the middle of an initially near clear, warm and pure golden robe with pale orangey tinge and translucent, minute dots of yeast everywhere (explaining the initial gushing), shifting to a hazy warm orangey peach blonde only in the very end. Aroma of rainwater, autumn apples, artisanal honey, field flowers, cooked sweet potatoes, halfripe apricot, dishwater, egg yolk, coriander seed and a lot of it, a forest floor in autumn packed with dead tree leaves, hints of chervil soup (typical for dead yeast), old rubber or at least something sulphuric, old onions and a whiff of background iron. Fruity onset, sweetish with notes of (luckily quite restrained but still obvious) banana, ripe peach, pear and apricot, with a vague sourish undertone; medium carb, some minerality but altogether on the softer side of the spectrum, with a supple, smooth body. Sweetish pale maltiness, cereally with a somewhat 'denser' edge, almost biscuity but not quite, while the fruity esters persist and phenolic spiciness grows, clove of course but also wet nutmeg and a dash of mint somewhere faraway in the background - overruled by actually added coriander seed, with slightly soapy effect. In the very end, bready yeastiness pairs with a floral hoppiness, lasting for quite a while and eventually becoming quite earthy and leafy, while 'graanjenever'-ish alcohol warms the throat - but remains altogether decent in behaviour, in spite of its tendency to wryness. Coriander does linger and so does this very earthy breadiness of the dead yeast, making for a rather 'dirty' ending. Feels a bit sloppy and messy, all things considered - but very Belgian at that, at least when you consider the gazillions of small-scale 'lesser' tripels that were produced in this country for years (maybe we should call ourselves lucky that the beer hype is in decline here), on both sides of the language border. There are some 'dirty Walloon' features here which I can normally appreciate, but the residual sweetness remains clearly stronger than average for that, and feels more 'Flemish' - alas. Probably over its prime by now - which may explain why it was so desperate to get out of the bottle - but I cannot call this a "très beau travail", in spite of it being basically enjoyable.

Draught at Brouwerij Lane: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is candy sugar and some spice. Taste is lightly hopped, flowers, sugar. Solid.

Florals and some coriander, clove. A little booze. Decent balance but not a huge aroma infusion. Pours golden with good head. Light sweet finish. Tap at Churchkey.

Bière 75 cl reçue en cadeau de Noël par la famille (vive la famille !) Couleur dorée, avec un léger voile. Bulles fines et vives. Mousse blanche, crémeuse, qui dure peu. Arômes de malt. En bouche, du malt, de la levure, une pointe de genièvre en arrière bouche qui me déplaît un peu. Globalement équilibrée et bonne amertume, mais pas exceptionnelle, sans doute parce que je ne suis pas branché genièvre ? A noter que je ne suis pas franchement fan de triple, et ce n'est pas la meilleure du genre selon moi.

75cl bottle shared with Eric in Eecke. Pours a misty gold, medium white head. Sweet yeasty nose. Taste is fairly sweet, smooth malt, sweet triple yeast, medium bodied, light spice. Perhaps a little too sweet but generally finishes well.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Hazy gold orange collour lasting white head. Belgian yeast ester aroma. Peach. Decent carbonation. Good citrus flavour zest, candied fruit. Very competent beer. A peachy citrus candied fruit , good stinging hop on the finish. I rather liked it. Not too sweet. Very good hops.
