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.

33 cl. bottle @ home as Keyte Osténdse Triple. Procured from Willems. BBF 04/11/2014 @ apparently 09:37 :) Pours a marketable big brewery, rising bubbles golden with a creamy white head. Nose is typical bigger brewery sized fare of grass, floral bitter notes with some white bread sweetness, almost hint of butter, white sugar, sweet grains with alcohol coming through. Bitter taste with overt notes of medicinal alcohol, cheap hooch style with plenty of grains, grass, bitter Belgian floral notes, white bread and white sugar sweetness. The alcohol comes through to much in a cheap white spirit type of way reminding me a bit too much of cheap hobo swill. Mouth feel is all bubbly like champagne. Typical fare with a nice factory drunkenness assistant flourish to it. I agree.

Noted as Oostende Tripel - which is what it says on the label and this RB picture!! Hazy pale gold beer with a little white head. Softish palate with a little carbonated nip. Semi dry. Typical sweet and spicy malts. Semi dry finish. Standard tripel but done well.

Golden colour, white head. Aroma of sewer, overpowering anything nice. Quite sweet flavour, light sour, lots of butter. Finish sewerage, standing water, butter.
Appalling, especially when compared with the bottled version. Has the Keyte-tap been cleaned this century @ Botteltje?

Much, much better than the draught version I had before.
