Het is een bier van hoge gisting, hergist op fles gemaakt met 3 granen (gerstemout, tarwemout en havermout). Fijne schuimlaag, lichte troebelheid door het ongefilterd biologisch brouwproces en tarwemout. We starten met ananas en passievrucht en lichte toets van karamel in de neus. Nobele frisse bitterheid die languit uitloopt en mooie fruitaroma’s die zich ontwikkelen in de afdronk. 7,9 Vol % alc en 35 EBU.

Small, just off-white head over hazy orange beer. White candi sugar, hibiscus or other flowers, and alcohol. Almonds, alcohol, bitter marzipan. Very boozy, white candi sugar all over the place. Well-carbonated, medium bodied, quite slick. Pff. Thirteen to the boozen.

Sweet and fruity nose, perfume and strawberries. A bit herbal, citrussy, notes of coriander, strange and unusual tripel.

Three-grains tripel (where have we heard that before) made by this client brewer located in the Brugse Poort quarter of Ghent - and apparently the last of these Crabbelaer beers that had escaped my attention so far, until last Sunday when I randomly stumbled upon it in café Den Boer in Mariakerke. Thanks to my girlfriend Goedele! Snow white, irregularly edged, medium thick, opening but largely stable head, misty peach blonde robe with pale orangey tinge. Aroma of cooked turnip, unripe peach, coriander seed and even soap, young 'jenever', honey, old potato mash, cooked green beans, soggy bread, old crackers, some light banana, minerals. Fizzy onset, lots of sharpish carbonation piercing through fruity impressions of red apple, halfripe peach and banana peel, sweetish, with some of this honeyish sweetness lingering over a rounded, bready and somewhat soggy cracker-like maltiness, soft and fluffy but still harshened a bit by that sharp carbonation; clear spicy and lightly soapy coriander seed in the finish, paired with a gentle floral hop bitterness and some vague residual sweetness, all tied together by a soft and subtle glow of warming, 'jenever'-like alcohol. Very stereotypical tripel indeed, ticking all the boxes of the style and in that sense nothing surprising (certainly if compared with the output of some of the other Ghent brewers and 'bierfirma's'), but technically very well executed, I hasten to add.
