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.

75cl bottle from Auchan, Calais. Deep amber comlour with thin off white lasting head. Slightly sickly aroma. Bit syrupy and treacley in mouth. Not as good as the blonde or brune from the same brewery. Some toffee on end and some hop but overall not that impressed

Bottled. What do we have here. Looks like a premium lager - deep golden with a white head, smells like a good (if that exists) malt liquor - malt and alcohol, tastes like a very cheap... bock maybe - malt, caramel and alcohol, and actually claims to be a biere de garde and a tripel. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have a freak here. Well, the bottle looks nice at least. Maybe it would improve with aging, but I certainly won’t buy another bottle soon.

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of alcohol and hints of caramel. The flavor is sweet caramel with the alcohol leaving You with a burning in the thoat. Much to my suprise the mouthfeel is thin inspite of the 7.5% ABV and the accented alcohol.

I already knew the French were not very good in brewing, but this cannot be called an "abbey tripel". It's a disgrace for all those quality triples, which are available around the globe. This is definitely more like a cheap pilsener. Hoppy and a bit sweet. Watery. Like the Fischer, another example of a french masterpiece ;-)
