Delvaux offers a beautiful softness with floral aromas. Brewed with carefully selected hops and fruity yeast, the beer has a complex bouquet with exciting citrus notes and delicious hints of tropical fruits.

Preposterously huge, yellowish, fine & dense head with some lace over faintly copperish clear golden beer. Quite malty nose. Faintly, very mildly sourish nose, bit floral, wheat, lacto (?). Outspokenly toasted malts, toasted flakes; retronasal sweetness (alcohol?) and faintly medicinal. Finish/aftertaste are a bit empty flavourwise. Light to medium body, would never betray its 8.5% ABV - one of its main features is its rather dangerous drinkability. Somehow, I had expected more from this source.

Tripel available at the reopened De Kroon brewery, now run by professor Delvaux, since 2013. Moussy, thick, yellowish, stable head, misty peach blonde colour. Refined fruity and delicately malty aroma, impressions of melon, banana, cinnamon, ripe peach, white pepper, orange peel, honey, mineral water. Velvety fruitiness in the onset, peachy and orangey, mellow caramel maltiness, light tingling yeastiness, subtle aromatic finish with herbal hops and spicy notes, medium long. A very well-balanced, refined and delicate, flawless tripel, I liked this very much, but I hadn’t expected anything less from beer professor Delvaux.

Bottle @ RBBSG, 2014. Thanks Mathieu87 & PriorL! Orange colour, white foam. Too much carbonation. Yeasty and fruity, light sweet, light bitter. Overcarbonated. Boring beer.

Bouteille 75cl @ RBBSG III. Dorée, blonde, léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme est houblonné, noble, bouquet malté typique, cara pâle, léger pils Palais malté, pâle, assez belge dans la levure, pointe épicée, houblonnée, léger fleuri. Fini sec sur bonne effervescence. Rien de bien spécial, et on retrouve une bière belge maintes fois revisitées.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to Mathieu87 & PriorL. Golden, fizzy white head. Nose is fizzy, ester & makes me think of artificial sweeteners. Tastes is same, artificial sweeteners, esters & boozy. Carbonation is out of had. One of these Belgians, eh.

Caña en el lĂşpulo. 09-04_2014. Color rubio traslucido con espuma blanca poco persistente. Aromas maltosos y algo cĂtricos bastante suaves. Sabores tambiĂ©n maltosos y con ligeros toques cĂtricos y herbáceos. Refrescante y para el verano. Sin muchas complicaciones.

7/IX/13 - 75cl (?) bottle @ Tuinfeest Heeren van Liedekercke - BB: n/a (2013-830) Thanks to Kris for sharing today's beers!
Cloudy orange beer, big creamy yellow head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: fruity, peaches, bit of exotic fruits, citrus, little chemical, band-aid. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, peaches, some citrus, bit sugary and sweet, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: sweet ripe fruits, peaches, some exotic fruits. Very ok beer. Almost freaky to see afterwards how my description is very accurate with the commercial description of the brewery...
