One of the three Mareklop hobby brews which are commercialized, this tripel version apparently through Boelens. Heavily ’paper’ lacing, coarse, thick and initially very frothy, off-white slowly falling apart but retaining; more or less clear warm ’old gold’ colour with orange hue, with minute, pale yeast bits throughout which evidently become thicker and denser with the sediment added, creating a deeper, more ’dirty’ orange, cloudy look. Aroma of orange peel, canned apricot, freshly grated ginger, ’jenever’, powder sugar, bubblegum, black peppercorns, banana, honey, pineapple, earthy and spicy radish, straw and, alas, a sulfuric and unpleasant hint of DMS (cooked white cabbage). Fruity, crisp onset, residual white candi sugar sweetness, bit honeyish but not sticky, banana ester but rather restrained, hints of sourish redcurrant and sweet apricot, strong and fizzy carbonation, minerally, numbing the tongue, overcarbonated even for a tripel; smooth, caramelly and honeyish malt sweet middle, ongoing white candi sugar sweetness and fruitiness along with spicy phenols gaining some strength retronasally (cloves, black pepper), mild herbal hop bitterness in the end but incapable of balancing out the sweetness, which goes down into the throat along with a warming, strongly ’jenever’-like alcohol glow, which ends up becoming a little bit wry and tiring on the root of the tongue. Yet another sweet, alcoholic tripel - I wonder why Belgium keeps getting stuck in this tradition, to which little is left to be added. By itself: acceptable (just too bad for the DMS which I am highly sensitive to, a tad overcarbonated even for this style, and alcohol could have been better hidden too), but nothing out of the ordinary, like hundreds of other similar beers in this country.
