Ter gelegenheid van de viering van 200 jaar Franse revolutie ontwierp brouwerij Huyghe in 1989 het gelegenheidsbier La Guillotine, een hoppig bier met dry-hopping van 8,5% VOL alcohol. Heel vlug sloeg het bier in een tiental landen aan waardoor La Guillotine nu een eervolle tweede plaats heeft verkregen in het Huyghe gamma.
Kleur en uitzicht: Goudblond, meergranen bier met een zeer persistente, wandklevende schuimkraag.
Geur: In deze complexe geur, ontwaren we een citrusachtig aroma, gevolgd door hoparoma's zoals Saaz, Brewers Gold en Amarillo.
Smaak: De eerste aanzet is zoetig, komende van de aanwezige alcohol. De intense smaak en volmondigheid maskeren de aanwezigheid van de hoge bitterheid.

Split a 750ml bottle, after cage was removed the cork shot out after a slight touch to it - boom. Aroma was some light Belgian spices, yeast character. Flavor was about the same - not uninspiring, but just this and that it was so-so. I’d rather just drink Delirium Tremens from these guys.

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet, Storo. Pours just slightly hazy golden, with a lasting white head. Lightly fruity aroma with Belgian yeast, alcohol and hints of citrus, caramel, spices and honey. Sweet, fruity and mildly spicy with a quite bitter finish. Alcohol get a bit to domination for my taste. A bit unbalanced and not so enjoyable, but still fairly decent.

Flaske 0,33l fra Vinmonopolet, Tromsø Langnes. Drukket hjemme 18 Jan 12. Veldig lys gylden med et høyt luftig skum som daler sakte. Litt fester seg til glasset. God, litt søt krydderaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken er veldig krydret. Litt tungdrikkelig. Kjedelig. Antydning til mandler i avslutninga. Denne var bedre på flaskedesign enn på innhold.

330 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy apricot color with a large white head. A sweet bready and yeasty nose. A sweet, light spicy, banana flavor, oranges, light yeast. Quite nice really, simple and to the point. Refreshing.

Bottle from Rootz, Den Haag. Poured a slightly hazy yellow with a thin frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty with citrus notes. The flavour is bitter, alcoholic and with that typical Belgian yeast aftertaste. A nice refreshing Tripel, but nothing to set it apart from the crowd.
