Fast gone head over clear, still, yellow-golden beer. Fruit and vegetable bulbs. Citrus, citrusgums, blossoms. Banana, sweet citrus as yuzu. Perfumey, but without much complexity. Light body, despite the ABV. Medium carbonation. I suspect it is made for what brewers think to be the discerning ladies. Most know better. Txs to Stef!

Lupulus tripel (though clearly not the regular, thyme-flavoured Lupulus) dry-hopped with New World hops, unfortunately not mentioning which ones; can from the Carrefour supermarket at Groene Vallei ('green valley' - actually a former factory site turned into a public park) in Ghent. Thick and frothy, very moussey, membrane-lacing, fluffy and dense, stable head on a misty pale yellow blonde robe with khaki tinge and fine strings of steady sparkling. Aroma of honey pomelo, guava, papaya, cold pasta, raw sweet potato, pineapple, overripe yellow plum or even medlar, vanilla sugar, roses, green melon, brioche bread, something puddle water-like but not really bothersome. Sweet onset with faint sourish edge, clean and sleek, with hop-induced fruitiness of pineapple, guava, pomelo and papaya, prickly carbonation disturbing these flavours a bit and depositing a lingering minerality on the tongue's surface, smooth and rounded mouthfeel - more supple than one typically expects from a beer this strong, even a tad creamy. Brioche- and croissant-like maltiness but in fact just a basic pale malt 'cerealliness' combined with residual sweetness, increasingly drenched in fairly convincing New World 'hazy IPA' hoppiness, with all that papaya, guava, pomelo and pineapple returning, tropical and sultry with a refreshing citrusy edge. In the end, these hops add a bit of much-needed yet soft bitterness as well, balancing out the sweetness; alcohol, in an almost Passoã-like way, warms a bit but knows how to behave and keep silent, so that the hops get the last word, only highlighted by booze instead of ripped apart by it. Frankly, I was not expecting this kind of elegance and genuine 'tropical' hop aroma, so for a supermarket can, this is surprisingly enjoyable; even though the brewery, developed from its ultra-local Trois Fourquets origins, presents it as a tripel, it does not have that typical Belgian tripel feel at all: in fact, should I have tasted this without knowing, I would have easily classified it as a NE(D)IPA of sorts, or at least an ale so heavily influenced by it that it resembles NEDIPA more than its own intended style, which probably sums it up here. And to think that this was probably even more aromatic when it was young(er)...

Clear yellow blond beer, small creamy white head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: nice, pretty fruity, dank hops, citrus notes, some tropical fruits, juicy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: good bitterness, a bit dank, citrus notes, fruity, sweet touch, tropical fruits, juicy. Aftertaste: good, hoppy, juicy, tropical fruits, sweet touch, lovely stuff!
