Amber color. Hops, pepper and mustard in aroma and flavor. The slightest hint of caramel and butter. Some warming alcohol. A bit sharp on the edges, but a fine and well made beer, worth a try.

Old bottle from De Bierloods. Golden colour, white foam. Nose of citrus, dust, caramel and chemical off flabours. Unbalanced. Too old obviously.

Commissioned by the Confrérie van Rietje Koane of Maldegem. Dense, moussy, pale yellowish head, orangey amber colour, clean but hazy after adding deposit. So far so good, but then there’s the smell: a strong shampoo-like solvent odour, dominating the otherwise okay aromas of apple, apricot, honey and yeast. Light sweetish taste with medium carbonation, nutty malts, orange peel, quickly turning into a wry, chemically bitter, dryish and utterly unpleasant taste. I do not know what went wrong here but this was clearly a failure.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden with floating, stale impurities and a creamy, white head. Fruity, sourish aroma. Malty body with notes of yeast. Seemingly a battle is going on in this beer between the malty sweetness and a weird tartness. Neither seems to win, making this rather unbalanced and flawed. 291205

Bottle: Hazy, orangey coloured, thin but stable lacing head; sweetish fruity (apples, oranges) nose with a tinge of alcohol and yeast; mild sweetish and fruity flavour, creamy mouthfeel; sweetish and malty finish with some bitterness in the wings and traces of "medical" fruitiness. Not unpleasant, mild and fruity brew with well hidden alcohol.

Dutch Ratebeer Meeting, I must have tasted this one, although the other guys probably did not fill my glass, because i can’t remember drinking this...

Pale orange-amber; thick fluffy head. Nose is very dry, candy-sugar, citrus. Taste is rather sweet, roasted malt, even peanuty; but not bacon-like as the name suggests. Medium to full-bodied. Dryness of course masks the body. A typical tripel, this time by the Proefbrouwerij. Ubiquitous. Archetypal for the style - and the brewery; competent without being brilliant.
