Bottle 0,33ltr: Almost clear orange colored brew with an more sweet than bitter taste. Hints of oranges and spices, not bad but this one can better,

Bottle straight from the brewery, thanks Maxime! Very thick, frothy, dense, beaten egg white-like, thickly cobweb-lacing head over a clear, warm ’old gold’ coloured beer with a vast amount of fierce sparkling, hundreds of lively bells rising up through the beer in whole whirls of fizz - and this beautiful visual effect goes on and on. More misty with deposit, obviously. Aroma of banana, sweetbread, peach, honey, freshly cut sorrel, grass, apple cake, caramel, wet paper, pear, rhubarb, old cream cheese, cooked white cabbage but strangely not in a DMS kind of way, some stale urine and even yoghurt. Fruity onset, lots of banana, peach, pineapple and gooseberry as can be expected from a classic Belgian tripel, more sweet than sour with, unsurprisingly, a fair amount of fizzy carbonation; rounded, smooth, lightly creamy body, honeyish and caramelly malt sweetness with residual white candi sugar sweetness becoming a bit tiring in the end. Finish adds some grassy, lightly spicy hops but insufficiently bittering to counter the ongoing sweetness (even the deScription of ’late’ hop bitterness given by the brewery does not correspond with reality), as well as a splash of warming, yet non-astringent, wodka-like alcohol. The famous banana ester (isoamylacetate) is very strong in this one, and so is acetaldehyde (green apple), but these aromas are what you can expect in an ordinary Belgian tripel; what bothered me more, are the stale, almost ’old milk’-like off-flavours, yet I must admit they do not ruin the aroma entirely and they do add a kind of unexpected ’funkiness’ to the whole. Let’s say this is a happy accident: some off-flavours, but by sheer coincidence they fit in quite well and otherwise this beer is technically well executed; the inches-thick head and fierce sparkling will appeal to the average Belgian ale consumer as well. Frankly, and seen my previous experiences with this brewery, I expected a lot less from this: this is, all things considered, a very stereotypical and sweet, but rather enjoyable tripel, though still not free of errors.

Small whitish head, with some lace all the same; clear metallic-orange beer. Spicy and garden herbs, vegetal. Bit gassy nose. More spices, sweet-vegetal as partly cooked carrot or parsnip, hint at human sweat. Finish has some CO² reinforced acidity, subtle and getting more dry gradually. Feels more carbonated than it looks. Slight slickness. Pleasing, not very strong tripel - or a well-hidden ABV. The bitterness is very late indeed, I’m still searching.

33cl bottle: BBD 15th Apr 16. Brought back from Antwerp by my father, we shared this and the four other beers he returned with on 28th Sep 14. Clear orange body with a good, large head, which did not really last too long. The nose was sweet, spicy and malty. Sweet start to the taste too slight orange feel to the mainly malty flavours, the alcohol was noticeable along with a trailing light bitterness. OK and the only new beer from my dad’s little Antwerp haul. Nice thought though.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Bierhandel Willems en Zoon. BBF 21/09/2014. Good price. Touch amber orange, instantly gone big white bubbles until you are left with nothing. Slightly metallic nose, esters, sticky caramel, very thick syrup-like brown sugar, apple juice. Taste is a mix of maple syrup, brown sugar, spices, bitter esters, something metallic, empty syrup & very overtly boozy, almost like, wth? Higher carb. lightly watery. Bit of a mix of things that I like and didn’t like. At least somewhat interesting.
