Roodbruin bier met weinig schuim schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en zeer kruidig met daartussen iets van banaan en wat friszure sinaasappel. Een heel bijzondere tripel die ik eigenlijk geen tripel zou willen noemen maar desondanks we erg goed smaakt.

33cl bottle from Prik & Tik Dranken Marlou. F: medium, white, quick gone. C: deep gold with orange touch, hazy. A: malty, mellow fruity, herbal, bit caramel, alcohol touch. T: full malty base, mellow fruity, bit vinous, a lot of herbal mix, orange touch, banana, medium carbonation, aroma is so-so but taste is bit out of balance.

Golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have malt sweetness and lots of herbs and spices. Nettles come through and there's a general woody earthiness too. Too sweet and and spicy for me but is definitely interesting and unique. If I had a creamy but sharp goat cheese I would try pairing it with this beer.

Small head over hazy orange beer. Extremely spicy nose, pharmaceutical dried herbs, and suggesting pharmaceutical bitterness. Pharmaceutical indeed, human sweat. First sweet-ish, then (herbal) bitterish to neutral. Finish is bitter artichoke and wormwood. Medium bodied, quite slick, good carbonation. Not my kind of... tripel? Thanks to Stef!

Pours rather clear amber. Smell is strong, spice ( phenols, or added spices, or both ? ) . Taste is full, bit bitter, spices, bit dry, mild sweetness. medium high carbo.

New CyDraLe beer made for the Poldermuseum in Lillo and named after a local celebrity of days long past. Apparently this man, nicknamed ‘Grote Klos’ in the region, was renowned for a homemade tonic to which medicinal properties were ascribed and which contained a large number of botanicals, all of which are represented in this beer, and summed up in the ingredients list (extra point for this kind of detailed information – many Belgian brewers do not even mention the use of coriander in their beer). Bottle from Kevin Devos’ beer shop in Kontich. Snow white, mousy, regularly edged, shred-lacing, slowly opening head on a misty peach blonde beer with somewhat ‘dirty’ orange hue. Aroma – as expected – strongly dominated by ethereal, cough syrup- and spice rack-like botanical perfume, with a strong anise presence likely linked to the (garden) angelica, while sage is also quite noticeable; camomile is only distantly there and the other plant extracts that went in here (silver birch, mistletoe, stinging nettle, devil’s claw from South Africa, centaury and field horsetail) are unsurprisingly unnoticeable, but then again most of these do not have very outspoken aromas in ‘living’ form anyway; underneath lie more ‘beery’ notes of soggy bread, cooked apple, freshly cut grass, clove-like phenols, peach, sweetbread, gin. Sweet onset, banana and ripe peach esteriness, medium carb, full and fluffy mouthfeel; very bread pulp-like middle, sweetish with unfermented honeyish sugars and a light caramelly side, soaked in utterly strong spiciness – partially of a phenolic nature due to fermentation, but of course mostly because of all those added plant extracts, again with angelica and sage being dominant and the others remaining all but unnoticeable. Ends with a strong, wry, warming, gin-like alcohol glow. Completely out of balance, too boozy and too phenolic on top of all that spiciness: I did not expect a lot from this and that suspicion turned out to be justified.
