Vageblond tripel is een goudgele tripel van 8 vol%, met een uitgesproken smaak en een licht fruitig aroma. Dit wordt bekomen door zijn typische gist, maar vooral door het gebruik van een specifieke aromahop. Deze geeft aroma’s van kruisbes, grapefruit en toetsen van Sauvignon Blanc. De hergisting in fles zorgt voor een smaakevolutie tot enige jaren na het brouwen. Het ontstane bezinksel kan zonder bezwaar worden genuttigd. Vageblond is daarmee het eerste en enige echt Merksplasse bier.

11/XI/12 - 75cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ Cybu's place - BB: 10/VIII/14 (2012-1265)
Note: way to go. Drove more than an hour to this one shop to get a special beer for the Gent Beer Festival in August, and then forgot to try it myself before it sold out. So, second opportunity now. :-)
Cloudy orange beer, big aery off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: chemical, paint, dusty, grains, some overripe fruit. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: citrus, quite some grapefruit, bit cheesy, pretty fruity overall, orange peel, spices, coriander, little chemical bitterness, alcohol. Aftertaste: fruity, pretty bitter hops, bit chemical, grapefruit.

(Bottle, 0.75 l - BBE 07-04-2014, at Tuulensuu, 20120811) The beer poured golden and almost clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, honey and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were honey, fruitiness, Belgian style yeast, malts, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, sweet and mildly bitter. A pretty ok tripel with a bit disturbing mustiness.

Head gone in secs, over coppergreen-tinted yellow beer. Sweet-grassy nose, hay. Sweet taste, with a light acidity, bit of sweet apples and citrus. Feels quite carbonated, despite lack of visual confirmation. Decent; apple-cidery, if not really surprising or dramatically different.
