In our effort to make a tripel a bit more exciting than most examples out there, we decided to spice it like a Thai dish. Lemongrass, Galangal root, coriander, orange peel and chilli pepper blend in with some exotic latehops in this tripel.

Bevog Fest 17. Sweet, roasty, coriander, some lime, some chili pepper. Sticky sweetness, really spicy. Not bad, but a bit too much.

Golden with a white head - Malt and spicy aroma - Malt body with spices and a hot pepper flavour - The hot pepper flavour goes into the finish - This had to much peppers, but still interesting and nice

Bottle. Gusher. Color: Slightly hazy golden, thin white head. Taste: Malty, starting moderate sweet, bit herbal. After a moment notes of citrus and orange and more spicy. Chili pepper coming in at the finish, causing a long lasting warming and pretty dry mouthfeel. Medium body, average carbonation. Unique taste but I don’t think this will ever be one of my favourites.

Ever so slightly hazy peach and copper coloured body with a very thin, half a centimetre tall tan head with not much movement at all. Aroma of honey, grain, coriander seed, curacao, full oranges, light spice notes and a rather large dose of alcohol and astringencies coupled with malts. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive grain, herbal, tea and very noticeable chile flavours with a heavy bread and yeast finish, but not in a way that most belgian tripels would taste - this yeast strain is more assertive, aggressive and bittering without much citrus notes, hardly any fresh and clean elements and definitely no bubble gum flavours. Aftertaste is quite lacking due to the high bitterness, the low sweetness and the astringent flavours, but the complexity is nice given that it's all over the map and still shows some spices and yeast depth. Overall, an interesting beer that works out okay, but not amazing, nor would be worth carting back halfway across the world if purchased in Holland. Luckily, I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Columbus Circle), New York on 11-June-2017 for US$4,99, just up the road, sampled at home in Washington on 29-March-2018.
