Deep golden colour with lasting head. Full mouthfeel. Cut grass sidenote is not pleasant. Really nice dry finish though.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a small, white head. Very faint aroma, somewhat bland fruit. Rich, sweet, fruity body, nothing really exotic whatsoever, but a bitter finish. 050522

Bottle @ home. Hazy, yellow colour, white foam. Lots of carbonation. Citrussy, grassy, some sweet malts, orange peel. Taste is rather grassy, some bitterness. Ok.

Dry-hopped tripel (though sadly the label mentions no hop variety) flavoured with orange peel; bottle bought online somewhere. Mousy, irregularly shaped, snow white, breaking head but largely stable on the edge and in the form of flat islands in the middle; initially clear, warm orange-hued peach-golden robe with enthusiastic fizz rising up from the middle, misty with sediment. Quite distinct aroma of indeed strong bitter orange pith, green peppercorns, banana peel, dried apricot, dry straw, hints of bitter honey, cooked fennel, gin, minerals, old cotton cloth. Sweetish, bit 'juicy' onset, orange peel 'fraîcheur' indeed but also its bitterness, playing with more restrained fruity notes of peach, red apple and pineapple; fizzy carbonation, smooth body, but feeling a tad thinner than its ABV would suggest. Clean cereally and bit caramelly maltiness, slightly oxidized already, bitter orange peel strongly present to even rather dominant in the end, but some margin is left for floral and seemingly citric hoppiness as well, though it is hard to determine how citric the hops are with some much actual citrus around. Gin-like, eventually slightly wry alcohol further accentuates the bitterness; some traces of subtle bready yeastiness linger around amidst this long and bitter, but partially malt-sweetish finish. Quite a characterful one, this 'exotic tripel', a bit rough on the edges perhaps, but the combo of hop bitterness and citrus peel bitterness works fine here - with a near-IPA-like effect. Old school Belgian 'edelbier' with a modern 'craft' twist, in a sense. Expected worse, to be frank...
