Newest Bigote beer to date, a tripel spiced with yarrow (a common wild herb in these regions), brewed at Authentique like the others in this brand. Bottle from Belbière. Medium thick, off-white, shred-lacing, regular head quickly breaking in the middle but well-retaining around the edge, misty apricot blonde robe with ochre-ish hue. Aroma of sweet field flowers is very clear (the added yarrow making itself very noticeable, almost camomile- and clover-like as well as vaguely reminiscent of ‘kruidenjenever’), over impressions of banana, sweetbread, cloves, moist white pepper, soggy bread, honey, ripe pear, pineapple, straw. Sweetish onset, banana ester, ripe apricot and peach, minerally carb but not too harsh, supple bready malt body (bread pulp with residual honeyish sweetness) that soon merges with an indeed – expectedly – very pronounced, pollen- and wild flower-like ‘herbalness’ of the yarrow, a tad medicinal and ethereal but sweet as well, matching well with a soft, floral hop bitterish note. I’m not the greatest fan of spice beers, but yarrow is not very common anymore these days – at least not advertised as such – and I must admit that, even if a bit too sweet for me, this spice beer is quite well executed.
