33 cl bottle. Part of a sampler six of vSteen. beers from Foremost in Oak Forest, meaning it may have set awhile without air conditioning. Pours a pale yellow in a tulip glass, with a tinge of red, and fluffy white head. Heavy smell of Belgian sugars and a suggestion of wheat malts that I’m pretty sure are not there. Taste is immediately heady with alcohol and champagne effervescence, sweet and yet still pretty thick with malts. Despite having sat in the heat of a store, not much ale fruitiness here. Instead, it’s pretty well attenuated and turns dry a few sips later. Had it with some camembert cheese spread, which worked nicely. Some notes of straw, then noble and citrusy hops. Nice version of a style I like, anyway.

Bottle from 6 pack Belgian sampler. Poured golden yellow with white head. Yeasty aroma. Malty and hoppy flavor but nothing exciting, average at best. Seemed overly carbonated. Not one I would try again.

Aroma is rather pleasant to the olfactory. Perhaps a little rubber on the nose. Ubiquitous pale yellow clear beer appearance. Barely any carbonation but does have a slight creamy tingle down the throat.Mildly bitter but hides the alky content well for a 9%. Overall not bad for such a high % alky content. Expected it to be more punishing to the palate, but it wasn’t. Not as refined as other trips such as Chimay , Church brew millenium or grimbergen.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to light orange with a huge white head. Aroma is slight grassy, spiced yeasty. Flavour is not as sweet as other triples which is a nice thing. A more sharp spice note appears in this one, but also seems a bi grassy towards hoppy. Somewhat undefineable triple but nice spiced and dry.
