One of the first beers by this new contract brewer in Hasselt, brewing at Toëtelèr apparently. Thick, dense and fluffy, snow white head over a lightly hazy peach blonde beer with ‘dirty’, almost brownish tinge, turning more misty but not all ‘dirty’ with sediment. Aroma of fried red apples, noticeable carbon dioxide (as if sniffing a freshly opened bottle of sparkling water), candied orange, caramel candy, acacia blossoms and even sweet perfumey jasmin flowers, white rum, honey, pineapple, carrot juice, brandy. Sweetish, fruity onset, impressions of ripe pear, pineapple and peach, bit stinging carbonation initially with clear minerally effects, slender and lean body; sweetish caramelly maltiness with some honeyish residual sugars on top, light bready sides, minerally effects persisting till the finish; light floral hoppiness appears alongside an orange water-like accent and some honey and banana aspects, before being enveloped in very obvious, white rum-like alcohol, with an earthy hop touch trailing behind. Perfumey, sweet Belgian tripel, accessible and clearly intended as a crowd pleaser, a tad too boozy, but otherwise correct.
