Vicaris Tripel/Gueuze is the perfect thirst-quencher for hot summer days. For this beer, brewery Dilewyns works together with a renowned gueuze brewer from the Zenne valley.
The complex interaction between Vicaris Triple and gueuze makes this beer unique. The sharp sourness of the spontaneously fermented lambiek beautifully counters the fruity and soft Vicaris Triple. The result is a rich beer with a fresh mild acidity and a soft finish.
Vicaris Triple/Gueuze is only available from May to September (subject to availability).

75 cl. Hazy golden with a medium head, minimal lacings. Aroma is clearly citrusy sour with grassy, woody notes, slight orangeish note as well as some spices. Taste is a nice mix of sour and sweet notes, sourish green apples from the gueuze, more overiped fruit and bitterness from the tripel. Easy to define the different styles but somehow not a beer on its very own, still drinkable and well made. Taste is surprisingly full after the smell. Watery sweet and sour combine into something quite original, if not terribly well balanced. Both sides are well defined; both loose something: the gueuze its elegance and delicacy, the triple its bitter sweet fullness. The result is pleasing in that it accentuates familiar flavours in new ways, but misses synergy. Respect for the effort!

Many thanks for this beer to Eric De Geyter from Belgium’s Best in Wrzesnia. Piwo o malej piance średnio trwalej, w zasadzie szybko jednak opada jak w geuze. Aromat kwasny, konska derka, stajnia, spocona skora zwierzeca. Wszystko podobne do lambickow gueuze. Jest lekko mętne jasne. W smaku kwaśne i wytrawne, mało slodowe. Bardzo dobre. Udana hybryda Tripla i Gueuze

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Geueze dominates the aroma, quite a funky nose. Some cider notes. Taste has a light acetic sourness, then some yeasty funk, faint bread and spice. Nice blend.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - apple cider vinegar and light citrus. Gueuze dominates Tripel part. Taste - lemon and more of the cider vinegar. More halfway between the two styles on the taste. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - good beer.

0.33l bottle. Slightly hazy orange body, huge white head. Aroma of lemon zest, horse blanket, vinegar and earth. Taste of caramel, lemon zest, tangerine and a decent amount of vinegar. Very nice.

Troebel lichtbruin bier zonder schuim. Smaak is friszuur en licht bitter hoppig met iets van citroen, rode bessen en kaneel. Is niet zo mijn stijl.

Oddball beer. The yellow gold liquid is rather hazy. No idea if that’s bottle handling or not. Head is fairly thick white foam. Clumps stick to the glass nicely. Good retention. The aroma is confusing but nice. The gueuze makes the tripel flavors seem sorta flabby, but there’s a nice funk base to the beer. Earthy lambic notes on top of simple sugary malt. Oddly perfumey. Like corn syrup on mushrooms or something. Fairly strong oak note in both aroma and taste. Taste is even more off. It starts sharply oaky and a bit tart, but the there’s a sweet base to everything. The finish has a bit of bubblegum. Some spiciness. Big green apple flavor. Lemon, honey, grape. I can’t quite like this beer. Feel is a bit sticky. Fine carbonation, sorta prickly.
