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.

Bottle at Damian. Absolutely absurd BBD of 2 years since bottling date. And the beer is only something like halfway through, but brutally wasted. Merciless oxidation, completely ruined beer. Fuck, I would give better even to my enemies.

Triple étonnante qu’est cette Thai Thai qui porte d’ailleurs très bien son nom vu que la brasserie Oedipus a voulu l’épicer comme un plat Thai : citronnelle, gingembre, piment, coriandre et pelures d’oranges sont donc au programme. Le résultat est déconcertant cependant, avec des épices très voire trop soutenues et une bière qui pour ma part manque de finesse et de subtilité (et pourtant la cuisine Thai peut l’être). En verre, nous sommes sur un blond doré légèrement trouble (EBC aux alentours de 22) mais avec une effervescence très peu marquée et une mousse blanche nappant tout juste la surface (j’espère qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un problème sur ma bouteille). Les épices sont de suite très présentes au nez : citronnelle, coriandre, orange et gingembre s’assemblent dans un cocktail complexe, sans dire sue celui-ci soit complètement agréable et équilibré dans les arômes. L’attaque est relativement souple, déjà sur des épices prégnantes avec la coriandre, la citronnelle et des notes pimentées. Des arômes fruités de banane (nous sommes bien sur une base de triple) et d’orange ainsi qu’une petite acidité viennent cependant quelque peu les contrebalancer. La seconde bouche se recentre sur des arômes de bananes et de piments avec cependant toujours cette pointe acide. L’arrière bouche plus houblonnée (houblon bien caché par les épices) est très (voire trop) concentrée sur les épices avec notamment le gingembre et la citronnelle. La troisième bouche laisse déceler une amertume modérée (IBU de 25) avant un final très fortement pimenté, devenant piquant, avec par derrière une alliance houblon citronnelle plus agréable. L’alcool est plutôt bien utilisé (8% Abv), comme le sucre, avec une corpulence intéressante (sur une complexité aromatique importante) et une longueur par contre moyenne (avec le piment; cela n’est pas un mal!). Je ne suis donc pas fan de cette triple aux accents Thai, qui manque de finesse avec un dosage des épices peu à propos.

Bottle from an Albert Heijn in Ghent. Pours clear amber with a thin, diminishing off-white head. The aroma contains ginger, citrus, coriander, orange peel, pepper, spices and chili. Light fruity sweet onset, medium to heavy bitter. The finish is long, dry and peppery and burns the throat. Fizzy carbonation and slick texture. An original brew which creates a discrepancy between the unique, intense aroma and the rather harsh taste - too peppery for my taste buds.

Draft - Grassy herbal notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Interesting spice blend, heat, lemon grass and some weird notes I can’t describe. As a person who doesn’t normally like the style, I like their take.

Bottle at Franks Bar, Nordwijk. Like a saison/witbier on steroids. The rise in this beer was quite dramatic, an appealing saison at start but with a big belgian thump packed with tingling spice. Corriander, chilli tingle. All in all, very interesting and yummy.

18/IV/17 - 33cl bottle from local Albert Heijn (Gent) @ American BBQ Guy Tasting (ElManana+1's place) - BB: 15/XI/18, bottled or brewed: 15/XI/16 (2017-454) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the bottle!
Pretty clear orange beer, small creamy aery irregular white head, little stable. Aroma: sweet, honey, almond, orange peel, bit sugary, spicy touch, overripe banana, minty touch. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet in the start, orange peel, some honey, lots of alcohol, chilli, spicy, some orange peel. Aftertaste: ripe banana, yeast, bit sweet, dry finish though. Very well done! You get all the ticks of a Belgian tripel, yet it's so very different because of the spices, and they're not overly done. Good job, guys!

On tap @ Borefts 2016. This one has a clouded yellow golden looking body with a mild lacing quite white head. It smells quite different alright. Herbal and spiced up tea. Lots of fresh lime zest and peel. Lots of mandarin peel here also. Quite Thai indeed. It has a little mild spicy flavor, but it's not hot or stingy at all. More lime fresh and herbal. Mild oily in the mouth and it's just below average on the carbonation. Grassy and mild spicy. I was expecting a crazy tasting beer, but this is more mellow and well balanced. Hints of apples and perhaps fish sauce saltiness. A little astringent in the tail. Not bad. 24.09.2016
