Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has some vanilla yeastyness but not much else. Flavor is a little creamy with some pepper and ass kicking alcohol finish. This does not hide the alcohol at all. It got a little better as it warmed with some fruitness coming through but this is no where near a good triple.

33cl Bottle at Café de Paas. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of yeast, spice, alcohol, some sour fruits. Flavour is sweet, yeast, malts, fruits. Dry mouthfeel, a hint of sourness in there too. Reminded me of Duvel, but not nearly as good. Enjoyable though.

Straw colored with a medium white head. Aroma of caramel and light grapefruit. taste of lemon lozenges, dry, with a bitter finish. A bit on the thin side.

02/11 0.33 l bottle @ Hopdevil, Zagreb. It poured hazy golden body with medium sized head. Some yeast fruitiness like apple and orange in aroma. Slightly winy as well. Fine yeasty flavor, more sweet than bitter, with orange, cookies, vanilla and raisins being most prominent. Thinner in body for the style, but one must admit alcohol is greatly hidden here. Shorter, but pleasantly sweet finish. Fine beer, but a bit industrial and cheapish.

Bottled (as Maerlant Damse Tripel), thanks KimJohansen! Clear golden, minimal head. Aroma of honey and vegetables. Sweet and fruity, boldly malty and overcarbonated. An aggressivevegetable flavour ruins it completely, and it followed up by a harsh resiny bitterness.

I haven’t gotten the yeast in yet, as with all the van Steenberge beers I’ve tried this one produces a voluminous head with its massive carbonation. This one is light and sudsy. Without the yeast, the beer is crystal clear in the glass, a pale golden color virtually indistinguishable from a pale lager. Aroma is weird and vegetal, with a cooked peas note, along with some herbal and spicy hops. One of these days I’ll get to drink some but it may take upwards of a week for the head to subside. OK, so the yeast is in and the head is down. The aroma has changed somewhat to lightly sulfuric cattiness. Beer is appropriately cloudy. Flavor is actually better than the aroma, with a fluffy sugary sweetness that isn’t overly raw or grainy, although there are elements of that. The finish is somewhat fuselly and phenolic but its mild. The sweetness tends to grow gently the more I drink. Some hoppy bitterness in the finish is just right for balancing.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a thick white head. Aroma is yeast, with banana, spice. Flavor is okay, but it’s a little dry for my tastes. It was alright, but that’s only because I’ve been shying away from tripels lately.

Apple, strawberry, and lemon bouquet. Clear amber, thick white head, and streams of carbonation. Cidery, slightly dry. Over carbonated. It’s ok, but I have notcied a lack or originality withthis brewer.

330 ml bottle. Rather mild aromas of yeast spice, malt, and perhaps coriander and a touch of burnt candi. Orange tinged gold color with an impressive white head that diminishes but hangs around. A bit thin bodied with rather coarse carbonation. Heat is noticeable. Flavors are malt, again perhaps coriander, and some floral and/or grassy bitter. It smooths out in the finish, becoming dry and mildly bitter. For hop I will guess grassy. A bit of fruit seems to come out with time.
