Bottle - golden pour with white head. Aroma and taste is sweet fruity and herbal and floral, spices and grassy nuances

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic St Gilles, Brussels, 24 Oct 2014) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, apricots, hints of brett yeast and spicy hops. Malty, fruity taste with apricots, tropical fruit, hints of wild yeast, a touch of resin and a fairly sweet finish with a slight alcohol bite. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and quite complex. Nice one.

Beer number five on 24th Sep 2014 in the virtual bar. 330ml bottle, BBD 17th Sep 2015, so only a young pup when I poured it into a Westmalle chalice. Very hazy body, murky orange with a full white snowy foaming head: no sediment left the bottle, I watched it try and get out but stopped the pour before it could leap out. Yeasty and sweet nose with a trace of honey in there too: I like to think I picked the honey up without reading it had any in the brew, but I am not too sure. The alcohol and the honey notes are noticeable in the taste with again a yeasty feel to the brew. I enjoyed it but the alcohol level seemed to take over the whole beer and prevented me from ’necking’ the beer at pace: which is what I wanted to do. Five more beers to open tonight, maybe should have left this until a bit later!

When I first met the guys from this brewery, I thought they had something to do with Caulier of Péruwelz, but apparently this is not the case (I would personally have chosen another name for the brewery then, but anyway). This triple version of the regular Caulier 28 has a yellowish white, stable head and warm orange blonde, misty colour. The aroma is quite powerful, lots of fruit, pear, gooseberry, caramel, white chocolate, grass, champagne. Malt sweetness in the mouth, well rounded and bit resinous but still a relatively light mouthfeel especially in relation to its strength; caramelly and nutty, yeasty hints, finishing in a refreshing, grassy hoppiness. So far their best beer, in my opinion.
