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.

Draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Dorée/paille, col blanc minime. Arôme fruité et plein de grains, côté un peu sparadrap/acétone, et une effluve de levure pas très agréable. En bouche, profile belge, houblon fruité avec un alcool réchauffant. Sec en bouche, levure presque dans le style champagne avec une pointe de citron, pelure orange et un malt carapils sur la fin.

On tap at Botteltje, Ostend, Belgium. A golden coloured pour with a decent white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma. Tastes quite bitter, dry, a little sweetness, almost tart. It was acceptable.

Cloudy gold, snow-white head that fades but leaves thick lacing. Aroma has citrus hops, orange, sugar, brioche. Taste has upfront white pepper and coriander with some sugary sweetness, peaches and pears and a little doughy yeast. Carbonated mouthfeel. No great depth, but a refreshing and balanced tripel.

33 cl bottle, about one year old. Pale yellow color, no head to speak of, very light carbonation. Flavor is weird, herbal/fruity (unripe pear?), somewhat sweet. Flavor is fairly decent, a bit malty sweetish, a bit dry. Body is quite thin because of lack of carbonation. Not much for an aftertaste. I’ve had better from Strubbe.

Bottle from JV Wine & Spirits in Napa, CA. Pours brassy gold with a four finger foamy white head. Aromas of kandi, yeast spice and light, citrus fruits. Full bodied with chewy carbonation. Flavor is a bit bready, smacks of light honey, and has some hot bits. Mild hop bitter in the finish. This drinks very well. It is food.
