Recommenced after Sublim was replaced by Traagwater, with a slightly amended recipe. Creamy, stable, thick, snow white head, yellowish peach blonde colour, hazy. Rather weak aroma of apricot, dough, honey, straw, iron, grassy hops. Dried fruits in the mouth, bit grainy, soft maltiness too, grassy hoppy finish with some gin-like, warming but not astringent alcohol. Oh well, just another tripel and only a very slight improvement compared with the Sublim version, which had a little more sourishness to it. eerst droog fruitig, mals, moutig-graanachtig, afdronk grasachtig hopbitter uitvloeiend met een jeneverachtige alcoholtoets.

Bottle @ VBPF’12. Dorée, col blanc fin. Arôme de grains rappelant les rice crispies, le tout fraîchement moulu. En bouche, malt pâle, grains, léger houblon qui reste très faible pour une pointe fruitée. Je note une touche de levure laissant qcq esters de banane le tout se terminant sur un malt léger.

Bottle. Pours cloudy apricot. White head. Nose/taste of pear, apple skin, lemon and yeast. Nice fruitiness in taste. The hop presence is more evident than most Belgian tripels. Earthy and grassy mouth feel. Good malty body.
