A blond, clear, top-fermented beer with an aroma of Saaz hops. The soft malt character and perfumed fruitiness of pears and apples come into their own during the aftertaste. Fine aroma hops are added at different times during brewing. We add the Saaz hops at the very end of the brewing process. This is how we obtain the beautiful hop aroma. The second fermentation in the bottle (and barrel) ensures that the beer can be kept longer (up to 2 years) and that the taste continues to evolve during this storage.

Donkergeel troebel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is krachtig bitterzoet met iets van citrus, wat banaan en een vleug koriander.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a slightly hazy light golden colour with a huge foamy white head. Aromas of yellow fruits, apples, pears and bubblegum. Taste has more yellow fruits, pears, a hint of bubblegum with some peppery spice, a touch of warming alcohol and also a gentle hoppy bitterness on the sweetish finish. Nicely balanced. Medium body and average carbonation. Nice quality above average Tripel. Enjoyed.

Bottled, 12.01.05. Blonde, hazy, pours a large head. Toffee, apple and a touch of dust in the aroma. Sweetish, just a tad vinous, malty, sugary flavor. Hops are limited to the background, but there is a firm sherry character. Not too bad, has matured reasonably satisfactory.

Fles gedeelt door Inoven. Het is een troebel geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige, kruidige wat zoete geur. De smaak is moutig, zacht zoet, zoethout achtig en kruidig.

Je ne vois pas bien comment il est possible de nommer cette bière une triple. Elle n'en a absolument pas les caractéristiques, ce qui ressort le plus de cette bière est le déséquilibre patent, que ce soit par son acidité ou par son alcool mal intégré. Côté arômes, c'est un cocktail citronné, floral mielleux et épicé pas exceptionnel. Robe blond doré parfaitement limpide (EBC aux alentours de 24), une mousse blanche de 5 mm d'épaisseur la surmonte. Le nez n'invite pas au voyage; citron, pomme verte avec des relents de dissolvant pour vernis à ongle. A la dégustation, l'attaque est acidulée sur le citron, les fleurs et le poivre. L'alcool, titrant à 8,5 % Abv se fait quant à lui déjà ressentir en arrière plan perturbant les arômes floraux. La deuxième bouche monte alors sur l'alcool sur des arômes d'épices et de miel plus présents. L'arrière bouche, acide déstabilise plus l'ensemble que tout autre chose. Sur la troisième bouche, moins acidulée, l'alcool devient prédominant accompagné de coriandre et laisse place à un final moyennement long et linéaire. atypique, mais pas convaincant.

Pours amber from the bottle with a thick, fluffy white head. Aroma has a hint of citrus, light nail varnish, but there’s overall not a lot going on. Taste is mildly bitter, warming, with bubblegum sweet notes. Finishes bittersweet, dry, warming with alcoholic undertones. Body is medium with mild carbonation. Uneventful, but also a bit uneven. Feels like an alpha version of something better.
