Donkergeel bier met mooi stevig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en fruitig met iets van abrikoos, wat citrus, graan en kruiden. P.S. Volgens mijn etiket zou dit een ABV 8.5% bier zijn

330ml bottle @ t'Molenhof. Ordered the barrel-aged version on the menu (the only version available) but the normal one came, annoyingly. Pours a hazed yellow, medium white head. Tripel-lite. Faint tripel esters on the nose. Flavour profile seems a little deflated, mild straw and vanilla sweetness, but all rather subdued, finishing dry. In a country where tripels are a dime a dozen, you really need to focus and get this right, otherwise it comes across half-arsed like this.

On tap at the Brugge Beer Festival 2024, Brugge, Belgium. A hazy golden orange/yellow coloured pour with a decent white head on top. Sweet, fruity, yeasty, sticky Belgian tripel. Decent enough effort.

A golden beer, a head is quite big and white. Aroma has fruitness, some grain, spicyness and earthyness. Taste has grain, some fruitness and spicyness. Medim bodied, high carbonation. More aromatic notes from yeast should be there. But nice beer anyway.

Classically styled Belgian tripel from a 'bierfirma' that does a lot of decidely un-Belgian beers as well - curious to see what Bram made of this overexposed genre... Thick and very mousy, frothy, egg-white, tightly cobweb-lacing, stable head, misty peach blonde robe with pale orange hue and swirls of enthusiastic sparkling throughout. Aroma of old bread, cooked potatoes, unripe peach, quite some DMS (cooked Brussels sprouts), soggy rusk, dusty old coriander seed, straw bale, minerals, vague dried orange peel, carrot soup and clove notes. Fruity onset, ripe banana mingled with peach, pear and some light pineapple, sweetish with a thin sourish edge, lively carbonated with minerally aspects, full and rounded, slick body. Soft bready and bit rusk-like maltiness with a sharper grainy edge, spicy phenols (clove) mixed with slightly soapy coriander, but with a lot of this obnoxious DMS returning retronasally as well; dryish finish, dry tea- and leaf-like hop bitter accent blending in with the phenols and the coriander, and highlighted by a warming, 'jenever'-like alcohol glow. Well - yes, this is a classic style tripel indeed, adding very little (if anything) to the existing ocean of tripels already present in this country; what bothered me the most here, is that overload of DMS both orthonasally and retronasally, ruining the whole experience for me. If this DMS 'stench' would not have been around, it would still have been a rather unassuming tripel, though, so I'm afraid I have to say that I expected a lot more from this, being familiar with BramBrass's IPA and stout output. Pity, even for what it intends to be. Sincerely sorry Bram!
