The starting point of the Bryggja project, the beer they won a hobby brewing contest with in 2012, enabling them to expand and start their own brewery. Tripel in a steinie bottle with Bruges' Halletoren on the front label - this is as Belgian as it gets. Thick, very frothy, tightly membrane-lacing, beaten egg-white, dense and stable head resting on top of a clouded, warm and deep peach blonde beer with yolk-yellowish edges. Very yeasty-fruity and malty aroma, ripe peach, ripe banana, orange peel, honey, freshly cut pear, bread crust, phenolic spiciness, dough, moist white pepper, dusty and soapy coriander seed, fresh camomile, hints of grated ginger, calvados, carrot cake, whipped cream, freshly cut 'witloof'. Very fruity onset, lots of banana but matching with equally strong pineapple, peach and pear impressions, sweetish with a sourish edge, lively but refined and in that sense 'soft' carbonation, full and fluffy mouthfeel, doughy malt base, brioche bread and bread pulp, with ongoing fruitiness and upcoming, dusty-spicy and soapy coriander seed, shifting to an elegantly floral hop bitterness with a more 'deep' and rooty tail in the end, and a gently warming, calvados-tinged finish in which the 'fresh' fruitiness, spicy phenols and soft, fluffy malt and yeast breadiness linger. The sweeter side of tripel but not too sweet, completely predictable in its fruity yeastiness, warming alcoholic finish and use of coriander, but in its segment far from the worst I had - reminds me a bit of Chimay Triple and that cannot be a bad thing. Technically completely flawless, ticking all the boxes of the style and quite refreshing, while warming at the same time: this is a good tripel, whether you like tripels or not.

Bouteille: Cloudy, Golden to orangey, bigger loose 'n "dirty" head, phenolic traces in the moderately bitter and yeast nose; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, a bit fizzy; lingering - more or less - triple-like fruity-yeasty finish with some warming alcohol in the aftertaste. Not bad, but no repetition necessary...

Je ne comprends pas l'appellation triple sur l'étiquette de cette bière. Elle n'en a absolument pas les spécificités. D'ailleurs cette Bryggja est une bière avant tout sur l'amertume, et malheureusement sans grand complexité aromatique. On n'y retrouve pas cet équilibre constitutif des triples, et d'ailleurs l'alcool, pourtant à 8,5 % Abv est particulièrement absent des débats. En verre, c'est un blond doré qui est présent, surmonté d'une mousse blanche de 3 mm. Le nez est avant tout floral, avec une pointe citronnée et une présence de coriandre. L'attaque ne débute pas bien les débats. Avec une petite acidité, celle-ci est instable. On y retrouve alors les arômes présents au nez : floral, citronné et légèrement épicé. La deuxième bouche voit l'acidité en repli et présente une amertume minérale relativement saillante. L'arrière bouche, également sur l'amertume est peu ample et n'apporte rien de plus. La troisième est quant à elle complètement linéaire et laisse place à un final moyennement long sur une amertume herbacée légèrement épicée. A défaut d'être vraiment intéressant, au moins, c'est rafraîchissant.
