Organic triple brewed in Luxemburg, bottle from an organic food store in Ghent. Egg-white, frothy, medium thick, irregularly edged, quickly thinning and eventually all but dissolving head over a misty peach blonde beer with vague ochre-ish tinge and fierce, large-bubbled sparkling. Aroma of ripe banana, peach, minerals (pumice, gypsum), coriander seed, brown soap, raw potato, unripe pear, old bread and a background whiff of DMS. Sweet onset, pineapple ester mixed with banana and red apple accents, lively and initially rather coarse carbonation, sweetish-bready malt body with grainy-cereally edges and a thin layer of honeyish, residual sugariness before a classically ‘dull’ and dusty coriander spiciness sets in, all in all behaving quite well though and not overpowering a late, earthy and grassy hop bitter note; some ‘jenever’-like alcohol wryly clings to the root of the tongue. Not a bad triple per se, but needless to say, this beer adds absolutely nothing to the already overexposed Belgian triple style, this is about as stereotypical as it gets.
