Dit bier wordt tijdens de lange lagering dry-hopped. Er is een zeer sterke CO2 pareling met een overvloedige witte schuimkraag tot gevolg. De neus wordt beheerst door hop, gevolgd door een kruidigheid (onder andere lichte munttoetsen), eveneens te wijten aan de gebruikte hopsoorten. De alcohol zit goed verborgen en valt nauwelijks op, hopbitter en mouttoetsen zijn mooi in evenwicht.

Fles 75cl. Geel bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is vrij zoet en kruidig met iets van kaneel, wat nootmuskaat en wat citrus. Heel goed.

2019 edition (bbd 8/2021), bought 2/2020 at Achelse Kluis. Hazy medium golden, good frothy white head, good retention, after a while a thin layer full of yeast circles remains. Aroma sweet malt, grain, yeast, light citrus, honey, stinky socks, spicy notes. Taste prickly onset, medium sweet and bitter, malty, grain, light citrus, yeast, spicy notes. Full-bodied, oily texture, average carbonation, dry sweetbitter aftertaste, quite peppery, all in all still a bit 'rough' and lively, good.

2018 bottle at a tasting, thanks to Cuso. Moderate body, very high carbonation. Very well balanced, soft alcoholic warmth, subtle apple fruitiness. Slightly hard to drink, classic trippel. Classic, good, though not my style.

Tripels are in my top three of preferred styles. I obtained a 750 ml bottle of Achel Blonde Extra about the only way I might, through Belgiuminabox. My thanks. The Straffe Hendrik snifter is down from the cabinet on this one. Off comes the cage and cork, The pour is an opaque medium-yellow liquid with a healthy pure white head. Much effervescence. The smell is yellow fruit, yellow raisins and white bread. An interesting taste, apricot, yeast, grain and a touch metallic. A lot of presence. A good, maybe very good tripel, not the best.

750ml bottle from BIAB. It pours golden - orange with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, fruity, tangy tangerine, mango, tropical vibes, bready, brioche and marmalade sandwiches. The taste is dry, tangy, juicy, tropical fruits, tangerine, orange marmalade sandwiches, drizzle cake, muffin, orange chewits, warming alcohol, gummy bears and a touch of spice with a dry, fruity finish. Medium+ body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Fruity and flavourful. Rounded and quaffable. Tasty stuff.
