In 2004, the city of Ostend commemorated the 400th anniversary of the 'Siege of Ostend' that took place from 1601 to 1604. At the request of the 'Oostendse Bierjutters', a group of enthusiastic beer geeks, this unique beer was created. What was intended to be a one-off brew for the festivities, has become an indispensable icon for Ostend.
The malt of this characteristic, golden blonde triple comes from the French region of Beauce-Gatinais. Together with the added German Munich malt both provide a full-bodied finish. A selection of 4 fine hop varieties from Germany, the Czech Republic, Great Britain and Belgium ensures a subtly balanced nose. The careful re-fermentation in the bottle ensures a firm, creamy head.

Bottle from Beerwulf. Aroma is spicy yeast, bready pale malt, hint of fruits with citrus, soft herbal notes, picking up a little herbal hop. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Nice Tripel with a surprising hoppy highlight.

Bottle from the Carrefour in Oostende. Pleasant grassy malt, lots of yeast esters here with peach, a little citrus, a little pepper, but a fairly firm underlying and lingering bitterness that throws off the balance.

My order with belgiuminabox was supposed to have been for Keyte's quad, I got the tripel instead. Or strong pale Belgian ale as determined by RateBeer. Oh well, given lemons so turn it into lemonade. I do like tripels significantly anyway. I have my Teku glass working for this 33 cl offering. The liquid is an opaque yellow-orange with a top of frothy, nearly pure-white foam. The nose is yellow fruit, yeast and bread. A good drink delivers apricot, nectarine, a yeastiness, slightly sweet, cut hay and grain. It has a full sensation with it, the carbonation contributing to that I assume. Not bad, but certainly a distance from the best tripels I've had. Still stinging from the quad deal in any case.

Voici une triple appréciable construite autour d'un alcool à 7,7 % conférant un bon caractère. Dotée d'une très légère acidité, elle en est de plus facile à boire et avec un cocktail pêche, biscuit, coriandre et citron agréable. Pas de grosse complexité cependant mais une triple solide et équilibrée. En verre, nous sommes sur un blond paré d'un léger voile, parcouru par de très nombreuses et fines bulles et surmonté d'une mousse crémeuse d'1 cm. Le nez est sur les céréales, la coriandre, une pointe de citron et un alcool se positionnant comme il le faut. L'attaque est légèrement perturbée par la forte effervescence mais l'ensemble est appréciable sur le biscuit, la pêche, la coriandre et une pointe de citron et d'herbes. En deuxième bouche l'alcool prend ses aises sans dénoter et donnant du tempérament. L'ampleur en bouche est également appréciable. L’arrière-bouche permet de donner une touche de fraîcheur alors que le final, sur une bonne longueur est distinguée sur un final alcool/épices. Une triple digne de ce nom.
