The original Jessenhofke beer, which later became Jessenhofke Tripel and eventually Jessenhofke TRPL. Uses garlic.
Drink matig doch regelmatig. Onze tripel was onze eerste stap in brouwland en werd meteen verkozen tot beste Limburg amateurbrouwsel in 2002, Dit bier heeft een harmonieuze smaak- en geursensatie waarin zowel droog mondgevoel, bitterheid, kruidigheid als zoetigheid in evenwicht zijn.

26/X/2012 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ Klaas' place - BB: 14/VI/14 (2012-1180)

Clear yellow to light orange beer, small aery white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit sweet, sugary, spices, bit cheesy, grass and herbs. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, bit sugary, citrus, bit dusty, alcohol is clearly noticeable, bitter hops, grassy. Aftertaste: some citrus, hops, bitter, little sweet. I remember in the past I was able to detect chives, but not this time. Wonder if it's still brewed with garlic.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing to crater surface. Sweet caramel and vegetal aromas. Soft and thin with caramel upfront turning mildly pepper before the lasting toasted malt finish.

Light amber colour with a white head. Fresh and light acidic aroma. Moderate sweet flavour. Some acidic fruity notes. Apple? Maybee a little bit to much alcohol coming through.

33cl Dumpy brown bottle, best before 19 Nov 2011, poured into a Duvel glass on 10 Mar 2011, slowly, ensuring no sediment entered the glass. Mid golden body, almost dull and certainly not the regular bright tripels often found in Belgium. Clear with small bubbles rising through body from the Duvel ’D’. On top was a full, deep, white head, impressive considering how slowly I poured the beer. It left some heavy lacing as the beer level fell. The aroma was yeasty and hoppy, with a nutty hints. The refreshingly crisp taste was a good combination of hops and crystal malts. Easy to drink and it hides the alcohol content very well, I was impressed. A good beer and one of the many enjoyable Belgian tripels I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing.

Bottle at Cafe buitenlust, Oirschot. Cloudy golden / orange color, whtie head. Smells a little spicy, though not too much. Tastes lightly fruity, lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Very nice mouthfeel, suits the ABV.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange. White head. Nose of peach, yeast, orange peel and dried fruit. Taste falls way short - lots of very old sitting around in the hot sun dried fruit, spicy hops, garlic and dried barley. Light to medium body.

Bottle shared with Deanso. Pours slightly hazy golden with white head. Aroma has spice, herbs, sugar and garlic. Flavour has pepper, clovers, fruit, caramel and light garlic overlapping into the finish. Medium carbonation and a pretty good balance considering the strangeness of the beer.

33cl bottle from a work colleague shared with Kermis. Good fine white head. Very hazy blond pour. Interesting beer, hard to place. There’s sweetness and garlic in the after-taste. Interesting and odd at the same time
