After brewing and fermentation, CH’TI beers are kept for long weeks in storage tanks. In the calm and cool (0°C) environment, the beer matures, develops a finer taste, perfects its aroma and acquires its natural and characteristic sparkles. It is here also that the beer obtains its balance, finesse and gleam. The Triple is brewed since 1997.

Sweet flavour with a tinge of sourness, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly bready malty and citrus-fruity taste with a tinge of spicy hops; moderately sweet malty and fruity finish with a mildly spicy hoppy bite. 10.XI.10

On tap at Chez Michel hotel bar, Le Portel, France. A golden coloured pour with a healthy white head. Sweet, fruity almost Belgian aroma. Tastes sweet, fruity, bready, honey. Incredibly easy to drink and dare I say it delicious. Nice one from Castelain.

Nice gold colour, good layer of foam on top, carbonation is good. Smells of alcohol, metallics, grassy notes, slight malt hints. Taste is heavy on the syrup and alcohol, overpowering actually and not very interesting. Slight honey in there. Bitter finish. Disappointing.

To celebrate my S4aD on RB while being in Bordeaux...A French Tripel (listed as biere de garde....). 25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a huge, slowly collapsing white head. Aroma is cornish and malty, light sweet note. Sweet caramelish flavoured, light bitterness and vague spice note. Lingering sweet caramelish finish, vague metallic note. Sweet little triple, I don’t get why this is listed as Bière de Garde.

Bottle, 7.5%. Clear dark golden colour. The flavour is nicely malty, slightly sweet, quite peppery. Has a little vegetable, but seems clean. Good peppery aftertaste with a rough, cleansing bitterness.

Had this in Paris, 2006. Notes from then. Have they changed the beer? Medium golden color, average head. Very fruity, somewhat sweet aroma. An amazingly fruity flavor, apple, citrus with a touch of honey, grapes, not very sweet really, with good hop bitterness. A long lasting hop finish too. Very original tasting.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Pale golden, fairly lively. Almondy yeast aroma dominates the nose. Medium sweet withclean but firm mouthfeel and medium body. Vague estery notes of raspberries, but although pretty good, as a whole it’s like a Bière de Garde light, less extrovert and with less appealing malt character than the top examples of the style.

Large Bottle. Pale gold colour, plenty of fizz with a large white head. Very easy drinking beer which is a bit too heavy on the honey laden overtones. The sweetness ruined it a little for me as all I could taste and think of was this.

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour with white foamy head. Halfbitter fruity aroma with soem barnyardish hints. Plummy sweet hayish flavour with hints of raising and rye. Aftertaste is breadish, hayish and hoppy. Quite dry.
