De neus van deze hergiste tripel getuigt van een zeer fijne hoppigheid, gecombineerd met zoet-moutige en florale toetsen. In de mond maakt de smaak alle beloften van de geur waar: na een zoete aanzet komen de bloemetjes en de hop; na de volle smaak volgt een lange afdronk, waarin de bitterheid door fluweelzachte mouttoetsen wordt getemperd.

Bottle. Clear yellow with shades of orange. Good head. Aroma of orange peels. Taste is malty, bitter oranges and slightyl sour and sweet. Lemons, apples and belgian yeast. Finish shows alcoholic warmth. Strong carbonation. Kind of creamy. Makes me think of a Campari-Witbier-Cocktail...Lovely.

bottiglia 33 cl, schiuma fine chiara media persistenza, color oro velato, al naso malto spezie lieviti e banana, in bocca malto spezie e mela matura, carbonatazione decisa, corpo leggero, amaro moderato e ben bilanciato con l’alcool. Nonostante la gradazione si beve bene. Indiscutibilmente una Trappista

Opaque golden colour, Medium-sized airy white head. Lollipop malts, peanuts, spicy yeast on nose. Medium to full body. Oily to creamy texture. Classically Belgian taste. Big maltiness. Candy, corn, Not overly sweet. Pleasant spicy yeast profile. No alcohol feel. Light bitterness on ending and aftertaste. Basic or classic? I’d choose the second.

330 ml bottle form Albert Heijn, Antwerp. Served in Trappist glass. Very fruity and slightly sour; fine passion fruit, grapefruit and citrus aroma. Taste is rather bitter for a Blonde. Nice bitter finish, pleasant and intense aftertaste. Easy to drink and very refreshing. Medium carbonation, disappointing foam head, but still nice golden colour. Well hidden alcohol. Overall, tastes more like a Tripel than a Blonde. I like it!

Bottle from Erzbierschof Zurich. A decent and well-balanced Belgian Strong. Has some hints of oxidation as it’s beyond date, but it still highly enjoyable. Sweetness gushes along the ceiling of the mouth as you swallow, with some light hints of acidity which glimmer through the soft carbonation. Rather light for this ABV, but not compromising in flavours. Nice.
