The Faluintjes region is also sometimes known as the "groene long van Groot-Alst", literally the "green lung of Groot-Alst", and it stretches out over the parishes of Moorsel, Meldert, Baardegem and Herdersem. Andre Paeleman designed this beer for the tourist authority of this district and its name is a reference to the big harvest festival which is organised each year on the weekend following 21st July.…

Boelens version of a beer originally designed by André Paeleman apparently. Gushing, off-white foam, quickly opening; colour peach blond with orange hue, hazy. Strong fruitiness in the nose, orange, pineapple, melon, coriander, wheat, floral hops, some phenols, gin-like alcohol, cardboard. Citrussy and fruity onset, sweetish, pretty strong carbo, light caramel and honeyish malt sweetness, strong coriander effect as is too often the case in this kind of beers, phenolic and alcoholic finish, a bit wry with (too) low hoppiness. Not very good.

Bottled as "Pikkeling Tripel", bottle says Gebrouwen door Brouwerij Boelens, 9111 Belsele. Hazy deep orange colour with mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is toffee, coriander, citrusy notes and also some honey. Flavour is yeast, coriander and some other spicy notes. Big toffeeish aftertaste.

I have no idea what the relation of this beer is to the "Pikkeling Tripel" "made" by brewery Paeleman. Hazy orange with faint olive shine; very white, medium head. Diacetyl. Diacetyl. Dia - oh and coriander, to add insult to injury. Coriander and diacetyl in the taste. Then, there is more coriander. God knows what it is supposed to mask. Medium bodied, very slick MF. To paraphrase a big Belgian brewer in Britain: reassuringly horrible.
