Sampled @ Zythos Beer Festival 2022. A dirty hazy golden beer with a white lacing. Aroma of mild sweet grainy malt, straw, honey. Taste of sweet pale malt, honey, nothing special.

Leicht alkoholischer Beginn, zunehmend hefig. Milde Süße, etwas kräutrig, vor Allem aber alkoholisch. Joah. 9/7/7/7//7

Dark blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of typical Belgian yeast notes. Quite bready. Finish is clean and fairly dry.

7/IV/18 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 9/I/20 (2018-357) Thanks to Jerre for the bottle!
Clear blond beer, lots of chunks under a huge towering creamy head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very oxidized, bit fruity, some sour apples, spicy, yeast, apple sauce. MF: soft to no carbon, medium to light body. Not what'd you expect from a Tripel. Taste: sweet touch, pretty spicy, soft bitterness, fruity, bit sugary, some apple sauce. Aftertaste: bit sourish, yeasty, rather plain, but not per se bad.

Bottle from Fontana in Sint-Niklaas. A "beer for warriors with its origins in the Waasland", the northeastern corner of the province of East-Flanders in Belgium and the region I call home, but apparently this ’aspiring beer company’ is located in Hingene near Bornem, which is - though bordering on it - not Waasland but a part of the province of Antwerp. The website does not contain a lot of information as to how and where exactly the beer originated so this is all I have for now... Opens under quite some pressure with a hissing sound, but no gusher. Off-white, medium thick, moussy head leaving behind a pattern of thick ’papery’ lacing and retaining well on the edge, slowly showing a few gaps in the middle, over a warm ’old gold’ coloured beer with slight orangey tinge and a suspension of translucent yeast bits throughout; evidently changes to a deeply misty ’dirty’ amberish orange blonde with sediment. Aroma of banana candy and banana liqueur, chewing gum, honey, sugarloaf, canned peaches, some caramel, apple sauce, lots of powder sugar, freshly grated ginger, young ’jenever’, pineapple cream cheese, cold pancakes, hints of soapy coriander, egg yolk, pepper and a faint whiff of DMS (overcooked cauliflower). Fruity, fizzy onset, lots of strongly bubblegummy banana ester, hints of pear, pineapple and apricot, sweetness dominating strongly with a lot of residual white sugariness, even cloying a bit to the teeth, sourish lemonade-like touch underneath, very sharp, numbing (if not ’painful’) overcarbonation, with a quite coarse yet full mouthfeel as a result. Slick, rounded caramelly malt sweet middle with that overload of residual sugariness and banana ester on top, making it unpleasantly sweet, cloying even, with honeyish features; some clove-like phenols retronasally along with a dash of floral, gently spicy hops, providing some late, earthy, tad rooty but brief bitterness down below on the root of the tongue. The fizziness goes on to disturb the tongue even after swallowing, like the fizziness of a glass of coke; warming, wodka-like alcohol also shows up and quite heavily so, though - strangely - not becoming obnoxiously wry. Alcoholic and sweet ending, in all, making this relatively hard to drink for me in combination with that harsh overcarbonation. I understand the idea of creating a heavy tripel in order to appeal to a larger - and classic - Belgian audience and many uninspired hobby brewers turn to the sweet side of tripel with this purpose in mind, but this is ridiculous, this is way too sweet (and overly bubblegummy) to remain enjoyable for a whole 33 cl. An insult to Karmeliet and other renowned sweet tripels of any stature - especially with that sharp overcarbonation taken into consideration, a feature that should fit better in a Duvel-like ’edelbier’ I guess, but at least free of off-flavours, though this faraway echo of DMS can never escape my attention.

Pours unclear blonde, good , fluffy white head. Smell is bit spiced, but not very intense. Some malts Taste is fairly bitter, very, very yeasty, sharp malts. Some mild spices. Rather sweet towards the back, whilst bitterness fades to fast to balance the sweetness. OK mf and carbo.
