26/X/24 - 33cl bottle as a gift, shared @ my parents’ place, BB: 20/IX/25 (2024-1154) Thanks to Cybu (I think?) for the bottle!
Clear orange blond beer, huge creamy dense white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very yeasty, lots of banana, sweet impression, ripe pears, some almonds, a bit spicy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit spicy, bitter touch, very yeasty, pretty sweet and sugary, malty touch, almonds, a bit oxidized. Aftertaste: sweet, spicy, soft bitterness, some coriander, floral, a little hoppy in the finish.

Cette Betsy est plutôt une triple agréable qui se laisse très bien boire. En tout cas j'ai été agréablement surpris même si elle possède quelques limites. En verre nous sommes sur un blond parfaitement limpide avec une effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche nappant la surface. Le nez est bien pour une triple avec des arômes de blé, coriandre, citron et banane. En bouche l'équilibre n'est pas trop mal, même si l'alcool manque un peu de puissance par rapport à un sucre légèrement trop poussé. C'est l'impression de douceur qui domine. L'attaque présente toutefois un bon dynamisme. La deuxième pareillement mais l'ensemble manque quelque peu de profondeur. Corpulence et longueur sont moyennes mais la triple reste agréable en bouche. Très honorable.

Medium, if fast gone whitish head over deep golden beer, well-carbonated. Rainwater, silt, even a bit mineral. Whiff of vanilla, pale malts, pineapple ester. Again pineapple - both the sweet and the sour; pickles (if faint), slightly oxydized malts, other grains. Co-taster mentions medicinal flavour. Light impression, if possibly rather medium bodied; finish releases a lightly burning feel. Betsy don't impress me much. Dank aan Barbara & Tim!

On tap at the 13th Brugge beer festival, Brugge, Belgium. A golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, yeasty, fruity, Belgian tripel. It's OK but there are far better to be found in Belgium.

The new tripel in this series, launched in October when the old Blonde Betsy moved to The Brew Society for its production. Sample of two months old now. Egg-white, irregularly but tightly lacing, medium thick, bit uneven-bubbled but generally quite well-retaining, slowly breaking head, misty warm orange-hued peach blonde robe with disparate, but quite enthusiastic visible sparkling. Classic sweet tripel aroma of ripe apricot, banana, mandarin, buttered corn, fresh croissants or croissant dough, sweetclover, honey, young 'jenever', dusty old coriander seed, cloves, moist white pepper, something faintly rubbery (old tyres) and a whiff of DMS (overcooked broccoli) which persists the whole time. Fruity, rounded onset, sweet fruitiness of apricot, banana, peach and a touch of spritzy mandarin, lively carbonation in a 'refined' way and therefore feeling softer than it is, light sourish undertone, slick bready and cereally, doughy maltiness, soft and mellow with lingering honeyish sugariness on top, some clove- and white pepper-like spiciness blended with a coriander seed soapy aspect and a soft, floral hoppiness. The DMS, along with something 'old rainwater puddle'-like, returns retronasally, while in the meantime a brandy-like alcohol effect evolves, warming the finish and adding a late wryness to the throat, with a hot and boozy effect even for a tripel. Other 'afterthoughts' include lots of residual sweetness, 'orange-yellow' fruitiness and very lightly dryish spiciness. Your typical Belgian sweet tripel, as expected; has a certain 'brightness' and vividness in nose and mouth that I also found in the Blonde and which I can appreciate, but the DMS kept bothering me all the way through, even if I have encountered this infernal odour in much more outspoken ways in other beers. All in all, not that bad an execution of a very cliché and, frankly, boring idea.
