Non-filtered, top-fermented blonde beer with refermentation in the bottle. Hector Tripel has got a full malty and hoppy flavour. Serve at ca. 12°C in a tulip shaped glass. With taste evolution.

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a big and slightly off-white foamy head. Bready malty and slightly yeasty aroma with mildly fruity notes and a spicy hoppy touch. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Surprisingly slim malty base with bready accents, citrus and mildly spicy notes; sweet-bitter malty finish with notes of spicy hops. Likeable but nothing special. 14.III.11

Bottled. Slightly hazy goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized white head that leaes quite firm lace on the glass. Aroma is sweet malts, rather much fruityness, some slight sour wooden notes as well as mild spices and yeasty notes as well. Flavour is fruity, sweet malts, some slight alcohol as well as yeast and some slight spicyness. A quite pleasant and refreshing brew.

Bottle Blond, treble body. White, creamy head, which diminishes mostly. Good lace. Yeast and lots of hops in the nose. Lightly bitter initial flavour. Heavily bitter finish. I found this a very nice bitter triple. I would be very enlightened when there would be less of those ’standard’ proef-like brews and more of these ones.

Huge, blinding snow-white head, dense, leaving classical Brugge lace; pale amber colour with olive shine. End of bottle totally flunky. Almondy nose, traces of diacethyl, coriander. Fiery, burning MF, CO² helping; dry, medium to full bodied, alcoholwarming. Outspoken vegetable taste, with an almondy and rosewater finish, but with no noticable sweetness. Still some discreet diacethyl. I’m much less satisfied by the Tripel then by the Amber; This beer is just too aggressive to please. Maybe a bit too "green" as well.
