Foam: nice white quick diminishing. Colour: a little hazy golden yellow. Aroma: very light, hops, malt, some like orange peels, a hints of alcohol and honey. Taste: sweet with slight hints of hops, malt, fruity, yeast, some banana, light spicy /cloves, coriander/ fruitiness also and some metal, medium carbonation and low to medium body, not bat Belgian triple but made for Delhaize chain supermarkets and this influence the quality I think.

The tripel in this commissioned abbey beer series, since 1994 and originally the same beer as Affligem Tripel; I think it deserves investigation to find out if this is still the case today or not. Anyway, revisited today for the sake of finding this out, but I stupidly forgot to put an Affligem Tripel next to it so I still can’t be sure. Pours a clear ’old gold’ colour with low fizz under a lacing, snow white, medium thick, moussy head. Aroma does not invite me to have a sip: tons of iron probably hailing from foam stabilizing agents, caramel syrup, cooked corn, cookie dough, sweaty grains, cooked cauliflower, melting plastic, badly hidden, wodka-like alcohol and honeyish cane sugar - this is so low in ’esteriness’ that I take the liberty to doubt whether this is even top-fermented (a remark I made with Affligem Tripel already some months ago)! Sugary sweet onset, honeyish and even a bit sticky, pineapple and banana but in an artificial kind of way, medium carbo; metallic middle phase, low and thin in maltiness but something caramelly comes up, phenolic finish with lingering sugary sweetness and lingering iron, next to warming, old ’jenever’-like alcohol and a touch of earthy and grassy hop bitterishness, though insufficient to counter the initial sweetness. An artificial, iron-laden and overly sweet concoction, clearly made the cheapest way, including malt adjuncts. Not acceptable as a tripel and to add insult to injury, I remain convinced this is an alias of Affligem Tripel, which has suffered as much from its restyling as this one has. I have a lot of sympathy for this style, but it has been hollowed out by either amateur failures or industrialized, chemical clones like this. Do not buy this, no matter how much you’re into tripels. Used to be better a decade ago - when it was already an alias of Affligem Tripel - but apparently making it cheaper in production has gained Delhaize more profits. Conclusion: this is exactly the same as Affligem Tripel, with exactly the same history (which nobody else cares about, probably)...

Bottle . pours clear blonde . white foam fades fast . Smell is yeast and sugar . Taste is bitter in the first taste. Than gets to a sugary sweetness , with some yeast aspects. Malts are there, but not very intense . Some banana-like sweet tastenotes from the yeast build up towards the finish. The sharp and intense (over)carbonation make it start very bitter, but holds back on both drinkability and the subtile tastes that might (?) have made this beer complex . Not its just a bitter-made , sweet drink ... Very simple

Slightly hazy golden with medium white head. Sweet grains, sugary, spicy yeast with some cloves and Christmas bread, apricots. Mostly sweet. Medium bodied. Actually not bad, good value for the cheap price.

25/V/14 - 33cl bottle from a local supermarket @ home - BB: 13/XII/15 (2014-561)
Clear orange beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: orange peel, bit soapy, some banana, sweet. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sweet, sugary, some banana, bit of citrus, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: spicy, very sweet and sugary, some banana, cloves, orange peel, coriander, bit soapy. A sugary sweet insult to the good name and reputation of Belgian beers. QUIT IT ALL RIGHT!
