Papegaei is a blond beer with an alcohol volume of 8%. The beer is lightly drinkable and has a rich bouquet of hops. Papegaei is brewed with fresh hop flowers, which means that the flowers are dried but not turned into an extract or pellets, so they keep their natural form (and taste!). The mash of Papegaei contains barley, wheat and oats. Papegaei is a top fermented beer with a second fermentation in the bottle. The beer is neither filtered nor pasteurized.

Papegaei is brewed and bottled by Adam Verstraete at the Deca brewery in Woesten.

Deep hazy honey and bronzed coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying tan head, about a centimetre tall. Bottle sort of exploded a bit when opened, at age ~17months. Aroma of honey, yeast, corn, alcohol, caramel, toffee, light fruits and a nice rich malt note - pungent and nice. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep malty and caramel sweetness up front with a strong yeast and deep curacao flavour showing on the tail end - strong, but showing nicely. Aftertaste has a robust complexity with the sweetness primary and the rich maltiness and yeast pungency right behind. Overall, a nice belgie with some solid flavours and a deep full-flavoured finish. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Delices et Caprices in Bruxelles, Belgium on 19-August-2013 for €2,20 sampled at home in Washington, two days before leaving to head back to Belgium for more beer!

Bottle shared at Gainsbar - Kortrijk, Belgium. Pours lightly hazy, yellow-gold, quite effervescent with a thick, creamy white head. Lots of yeasty dough in the nose with notes of sugar fruits. Hugely sweet flavor with plenty of sugary white bread, dough, hay. Full bodied with average carbonation. Warming finish with more sugary, doughy white bread, fruits, white sugar, hay. Very sweet but OK overall.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Pours hazy blond with decent white head. Beautifully sweet aroma with hints of vanilla. Taste is just incredible. Beautifully smooth with a soothing sweetness & good tripel notes. Very nicely blended with very minimal bitterness or spice. I could happily polish off a 75cl bottle of this.

Beer from a hobby brewer from Diksmuide, commercialized through Deca. Tasted years ago when it was just on the market and revisited yesterday. Sticky, off-white, medium thick and moussy head, misty golden blonde colour with slight peachy hue. Very fruity aroma, lots and lots of banana milkshake, apricot, pineapple jam, stewed pear, strawberry, guava, sweetbread, rosewater, sherry, hay, vague hint of whisky. Soft, fruity onset, sweet and teeming with banana ester next to pineapple, ripe starfruit and ripe apricot notes, medium carbo, bready malt base with a slight soapiness to it, background sourish touch, yeasty with mild grassy hop bitterness in the finish (fresh hop cones apparently having been used) as well as light spicy phenols and a light, well-hidden alcohol afterglow. Typical sweet Belgian tripel, very strong in the classic banana ester but more 'exotic' in the nose than is averagely the case and in that sense a bit distinguished. Enjoyable.

The label looks modern, but the recipe is as old as the Belgian beer culture. Typical yeasty and fruity Belgian blond. Nice, but not special.
