Pours bit unclear blonde. Small white head. Smell is some malts- rather sweet Taste is Bitter. Very agressive overcarbonation. Some grainyness as well as overripe banana’s ( those turn very intense towards the aftertaste ) Not one I like ...

For me, the last of the four "Ben’s" beers, with hazy peach blonde colour under a loose, irregular, yellowish white head. Aroma of rotten oranges, pears and apples, lots of moist cellar or damp cloth, hints of honey, biscuit, mandarin, quite strong hints of nail polish and furniture varnish, limoncello, minerals like from a very strongly sparkling water, gooseberry, red apples, white bread, mango, whisky. Taste of fruity esters with sharpish carbonation, very ’Belgian’ as it is probably intended, hint of lemon and unripe stonefruit; minerally, caramelly middle phase, sourish on a sweetish, bready malt base, yeasty and even a little bit ’doughy’, ’healthily’ sourish, leading to a finish of lingering malt sweetness only lightly strengthened by a leafy and ’basic’ peppery hop bitterishness as well as some gin-like warming alcohol, remaining relatively gentle but still becoming slightly boring and bittering in the end, with clear phenolic presence as well. I dislike the damp cloth quality in the nose - it keeps bothering me all the time, but apart from that, I guess there are worse Belgian tripels on the market. More or less acceptable, but obviously boring and too chemical and phenolic to be really good in this style - I think the IPA was the best in this range, but none of the four were great or important in any way. I’d rather have a Westmalle Tripel at 75 cl any time.

Bottle picked up at Delhaize, Bruges Saturday 18th October 2014. Consumed at home (shared) with friend Barry, Thursday 30th October 2014. Pours a gold/light amber colour with a clean mid sized white head. A touch of spice, yeast and a slight sharp fresh prickle on nose. This is fine, its competent enough but if it were a football team it would be mid table mediocrity (at best!). The spice, yeast and a stable steady fruitiness show but its really very average. Ok.
