One of three beers by this brewing couple in Esneux south of Liège, with this one brewed at Grain d'Orge in the same province; shared with tderoeck. Quite a gusher, so be warned. Very thick (initially glass-filling) and foamy, egg-white, large-bubbled, plastery lacing head on a misty pure golden beer with deep apricot-yellow tinge and lots of enthusiastic sparkling. Aroma of banana peel, old coriander powder, 'oude jenever', some honey, cold French fries, powder sugar, oxidized apple slices, clove, carbon dioxide piercing through, vague smoky touch in the end. Very sharply carbonated onset, fizzy and numbing, distracting from the actual flavours; fruity notes of banana peel, pear and oxidized apple flesh, light sourish undertone from the overcarbonation, quite full mouthfeel. Old-bready, bread-crusty and cereally pale maltiness, dryish, carrying clove-like phenols which eventually become a tad 'burnt' and rubbery, next to straw-like and floral hop bitterness of medium duration and warming, 'jenever'-like alcohol. Typical Walloon tripel or in fact 'edelbier' (think Duvel), overcarbonated, spicy-yeasty but dryish and to the point - not the worst I had in this overexposed category.
