Triporteur Nipple

A golden beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has fruitness, fresh and dried, apricot, perry, some spicyness. Taste has drid fruits, but it's fresh, some spicyness. Medium+ bodied. More dried fruits and richness as usually. Good beer.

Orangey copper colour with thin head. Aroma is predominantly sweet and malty. Decent body. Not an overly sweet taste. Yeasty aftertaste.

La brasserie Triporteur nous propose ici une triple à forte dominante alcool et coriandre. Le résultat en est un triple solide mais manquant d'élégance et de nuances. Décevant donc pour cette brasserie qui sait mieux faire. Le visuel est correct, sur une blond orangé limpide (35 d'IBU) surmonté d'une fine mousse blanche. Le nez est sur un cocktail alcool, coriandre, pomme, poire et banane. Le côté fruité passe cependant nettement au second plan à la dégustation, pour mettre sur les devant un alcool faisant largement plus que ses 8,5 % et une coriandre omniprésente. Une petite acidité se laisse percevoir à l'attaque et en arrière-bouche, pour disparaître cependant en seconde bouche ce qui donne davantage de poids à l'alcool. Bonne présence en bouche même si on regrette le manque de variations dans les arômes qui sont bruts. L’amertume à 35 IBU, est plutôt bien dosé, même s'il est écrasé par l'alcool et qu'il faiblit sur le final (d'une longueur moyenne) qui laisse alors une sensation de douceur plus franche. Solide donc, mais pas exaltant

33cl bottle from Spar Oostende. F: almost medium yet not long lasting, white. C: deep gold, light hazy. A: malty, bit bready, red apples peels, bit spicy, banana, mineral, honey. T: almost full malty base, fruity, apricot, bit juniper alcohol, grainy, banana touch, orange, spicy, soft carbonation, ok another tripel that’s all, easy forgettable beer.

01/07/2019 @home - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte We brewed a classic tripel on the label. yes they did I would say, maybe a bit more hops than the very classic but that's it.

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Fruity, bready nose. Sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Bread and marzipan, some marmelade. Spicy bitter finish with some warmth.

New tripel by this classic but usually very solid brewery that bakes its own malt; bottle from Kevin's BeerShop in Kontich near Antwerp. Thick and foamy, frothy, snow white, coarse, cobweb-lacing head, hazy pale orange-tinged 'old gold' with a suspension of flaky yeast bits throughout, equally misty with sediment poured in. Aroma of freshly baked white bread, red apple, unfortunately strong DMS (overcooked broccoli), dusty coriander seed, sweet potato mash, light banana (subtle even - much more so than expected based on the classic tripel premise), honey, rainwater, dried orange zest, gin, peach. Bit estery-fruity onset but again, not much of the typical banana isoamylacetate, rather some pineapple, pear and apricot notes, fizzy carbonation, minerally and a bit stinging initially, slick mouthfeel. Cereally, white-bready pale malt sweetish body with a very thin caramelly touch somewhere, dried by a confident, though nowhere harsh, rather earthy hop bitterness in the finish, with accompanying spicy accents but - alas - the retronasal return of that DMS as well. Cereally malt sweetishness lingers together with this earthy hoppiness, but the latter lasts for quite a while and performs its drying job very well; gin-like, warming but not obnoxious alcohol is obviously present too. Streamlined, dryish but indeed still classic tripel, with that strong DMS presence ruining it for me - without it, this would have been a lot better, but still rather unremarkable within this brewery's range. Weird that they come up with this now, feels like it should have been one of their starter beers, really...
