30cl bottle from the Jumbo supermarket in Valkenburg. Poured into an old Corsendonk Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass at home on 10th December 2025. Fourth beer in a mini tasting session with myself and no one else. Bertie was watching and Margie with Auntie Sue were drinking white wine. Slight haze to the golden body, white crown on top. Decent enough Tripel in my eyes, some fizzy sourness in-between the yeasty base and malty sweetness. Can see why others have scored it lowly, but it's OK for the price.

The tripel in the Dors brand, created specifically for the Jumbo supermarket chain and brewed by Bavaria; bottle from the Jumbo supermarket near the ‘Darsen’ (docks) in the outskirts of Ghent. Snow white, moussey, membrane-lacing, slowly dissipating head, misty warm orangey-golden robe. Aroma of banana peel, cooked parsnip, powder sugar, plastic, old potatoes, industrial honey, cheap gin, green garden weeds, burnt rubber in the background (DMTS?). Simplistic onset dominated by a one-sided white candi sugar sweetness, vague hints of pear and of course banana, but a straightforward white-sugary aspect keeps accompanying everything, through a moderately carbonated, slick cereally core, in itself largely ‘filled’ with white candi syrup and with slightly metallic edges. Even less pleasant than this and that annoying sweetness are the plastic-like effects in the finish, paired with a rather artificial, almost somewhat ‘medicinal’ bitterness and warming, gin-like alcohol. This is Bavaria (or Swinkels as they call themselves today) all over: a tripel created by a macro brewery mostly experienced in dreary pale lagers including the cheap strong ones aimed at alcoholics. The result was going to be predictable I guess, but honestly this is even worse than anticipated and well below the average quality level of even the most average thirteen-from-a-dozen Belgian tripel: clearly short-cut in production, empty, cheap, overly sweet and artificial. Quite frankly, even among the worst tripels I ever had, and I had a lot of them.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Aroma is spicy with sweet malt, sugar, notes of coriander, and some alcohol. Pretty sweet flavour with a mildly boozy finish. Medium body. Too sweet and spiced.

Thuis uit een flesje. Zie de wat negatieve recensies. Persoonlijk vind ik het geen onaardige tripel, inderdaad zoet met ook een zoete nasmaak. Doet ook wel denken aan een weizen (banaan). Niet verkeerd, zeker niet gezien de prijs.

Süßlicher, leicht herber Beginn, deutlich nach Anis, kräutrig. Leider bleibt das Anisaroma präsent, minimal alkoholisch, mittellanger Abgang. Ok. 8/5/7/6/7/5
