Tripel brewed by the young microbrewery Le Fou Du Roi, but commissioned by a group of winegrowers located nearby - apparently these guys' interest indeed crosses over to beer as well... Snow white, thick and foamy, uneven-bubbled, cobweb-lacing head on a near clear, deep yellow golden beer with a true 'storm' of swirling sparkling throughout, supporting the head. Aroma of freshly baked 'pistolets' or croissants, chamomile, straw, coriander powder, young 'jenever', banana peel, haystack, jute rope, unripe peach, radish peel, poppy seed. Very spritzy onset (as expected from the appearance), lots of stinging carbon dioxide but small-bubbled and therefore tolerable; fruity aspects of halfripe banana, pear and ripe apricot, sweetish, even briefly turning to apricot jam; slick white-bready and cereally malts, spiced by the obligatory coriander seed but not overly so. Light phenolic clove (4-vinyl-guaiacol) and gentle but spicy hop bitterness finish things off, warmed by a non-disturbing glow of 'jenever'-like alcohol. Utterly stereotypical, textbook tripel - the formula never gets old here in Belgium apparently - but admittedly very well executed from a technical viewpoint. Have a point for that.
