33cl bottle from FreshMed supermarket Etterbeek, Brussels. F: medium, white, average retention. C: gold, hazy. A: malty, citrus, grapefruits, pine touch almost not like tripel. T: medium to full malty base, orange, grapefruits, pine touch, decent long lasting bitterness, some tropical fruits, this is more like IIPA than Tripel, enjoyed yet probably in the bottle is “A Roulette Ale Beback” with the label “Expectase”.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 11/2022. Une bouteille clin d’œil au groupe 'Ghost'.
Dorée/blond,e col épais blanc crémeux tenace.
Arôme est assez neutre, je retrouve des notes de grains malté pils, touche un peu cara voire Vienna - cela se supporte à un nez houblonné qui s'apparente à des effluves oscillant vers un côté choux/brocoli bouillis sur rétro-nasal de houblons nobles aux effluves plus européennes. Rétro fleuri-campagnard avec qcq notes épicées sur un léger malté caramel grillé/un peu 'cold pressed coffee' et pils portant sur un nez de grains un peu concassés.
Palais est fortement centré sur un classique belge de triple - le tout présente un caractère pils prenant, un caractère levure triple qui peine un peu à se montrer - cela venant juste de déguster La Marlouf une triple de caractère - ici, je reste sur un fini plus minéral, grains pils. Le tout reste très classique dans l'approche et un peu plus en deçà au niveau de l'exécution.

Another new microbrewery in Brussels, apparently started by a motorcycle club as a hobby project, but gone professional last year. This first beer (unsurprisingly a tripel) bears a name that originally in Christianity means 'humankind's progress towards God' or something alike, but since the seventies also refers to experiencing an orgasm, linking religion to sex - nothing new under the sun here, I might say. Very irregularly edged, uneven- to large-bubbled, 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, snow white, breaking but generally stable head on an initially clear, warm 'old gold' coloured beer with somewhat 'metallic' pale orangey tinge and strong sparkling forming a steady column in the middle; misty with sediment. Uninviting aroma of iron and very strongly so (actual iron shavings being the first thing my nose meets - and the 'hand test' confirms its presence, probably as a head stabilizer), cooked potatoes of three days old, withering grass, hand soap, coriander seed, cold carrot soup, rainwater, banana peel, overcooked cauliflower (DMS) and even some burnt rubber (DMTS), dusty straw bales, old dry clay, hint of garden weeds. Spritzy onset, lots of minerally carbonation, fruity notes of banana peel, some apple and a background touch of unripe peach, restrained in sweetness, slick body marred a bit by overly sharp carbonation and feeling a bit thin for its strength - quickly deploying the iron from the nose, in the form of a strong metallic 'zing', flanking a rather thinly cereally malt body with a slight toasty-bready edge. Confident hop bitterness comes up towards the end, trying to save the day - paired with this dusty and soapy coriander spiciness and a slightly wry, 'jenever'-like alcohol effect. The coriander lingers beyond the malts, but fortunately the hops play along as well for quite a while. 'Soupy' vegetable notes appear too, alas - and at that point, I think I had enough and poured the rest of the liquid down the drain. Teeming with off-flavours (even if some of those fade after a while), thinly structured for a 9% ABV tripel and very metallic to the point of becoming headache-inducing, in fact it has been a long time since I had a beer containing this much iron (must have been some or other Huyghe beer or something, many years ago): contrary to that Grand Mir beer I had before this one, also from a new Belgian microbrewery, I cannot give this one any compliments, I'm afraid. This feels very amateurish, concocted in some or other hobby brewer's kitchen - I do not want an angry motorcycling gang on my back, but fair is fair, this brew needs to be reinvented completely, or should be abandoned altogether. I guess this is what you get with that whole brewing hype plaguing the country for several years now - and unfortunately this trend shows no signs of slowing down, yet. --- Beer merged from original tick of A Roulette Epectase on 13 Feb 2021 at 00:25 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.
