Zielskowo-ciastkowo-miodowy, zaskakujaco slodki jak na tripla, niemniej nadal bez problemu przyswajalny

Bouteille 33cl de Delhaize Enghien, BB 07/07/2020. Dorée-orangé, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est centré sur un bouquet herbacé, qcq esters et phénols, boiled peanuts, herbacé et pointe mielleuse en rétro, malt pils classique belge. J'étais plus convaincu par la version Double. Palais est assez belge avec un côté sucre brun sur un fond de levure très belge ponctués par un caractère houblonné noble, retrouve une petite touche épicée en fin de bouche rappelant l'anisé et la pomme verte. Sur la fin la douceur sucre cassonade oscille plus vers un profil un peu mielleux avec une amertume latente tirant sur un effet botanique.

The tripel under this brand, from a 33 cl bottle at Kantien in Ghent; seemingly atypically old-fashioned for Belgo Sapiens, but still with a slight ‘twist’ in the form of dry-hopping, like its dubbel brother. Thick and regular, moussy, snow white, lacing head over an initially clear, warm peach-tinged ‘old gold’ coloured beer with lively fizz, turning misty with sediment. Aroma of banana peel, tulips, margarine, acacia honey, lemon candy, white bread, custard, pineapple, ripe pear. Fruity onset, subdued sweetness of pineapple, pear, banana and fried apples, stinging carbonation with minerally effects, smooth and somewhat resinous mouthfeel. White bread-like, tad soapy body with rounded character, leading to a long, spicy, rooty, bit grapefruit peel-coloured hop bitter finish mixed with light spicy phenolic notes and some warming, gin-like alcohol. Elegant, clean tripel, more hop bitter than average in a pleasant and technically well-executed way, among the better of the countless Belgian tripels I had so far.

Pours nearly clear, bit darker blonde. Small but medium stable white head. Smell is malty, grainy, complex, medium to medium high intensity. Mildly floral, low esthers, no phenols. Taste is full, malty, tad sweet. Some esthers. A bit too much so towards the end, but still balanced. Mild peppery phenols. Not tooo bitter. nice and in balance.

Taste: malty, caramel, little fruity, grains. Aftertaste: bitter, dry, little spicy, yeast, soft bitterness, bit herbal, dry finish. Decent one!

Thanks to Kraddel / Beerlover_Ben. 330 ml. bottle sampled. Clear orange oddly. Very sweet basic sugar, BE candy, plastic, soap, no off-flavours but all dull bland sugar, candy, BE. Meh. Their other beers so far have definably been more impressive.
