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: Poured a hazy orange yellow with a bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet with some fruit and a spice. The taste is a sweet malt with some fruit. The finish is dry to the tongue, but very alive.

Sampled from a bottle with the name Keyte Oosténdse Tripel (7,7% ABV). Creamy head. Light hazy, orange body. Sweet hoppy aroma leads the way to a very sweet flavour of late fruits and dry chocolate added a nutty hint. Almost a sugarbomb to my tasting (BBF, Oslo 10.04.2008).

Bottled. Golden colour, huge white bubbly, quite long lasting head. A lot of lacing. Aroma gives some earth, fruits, vegetables, and some mild notes of wood. Flavour is vegetables, lots of fruits, some herbs and some grassyness. Pleasantly balanced, but gets a bit boring after a while.

Bottle, 7.5%. Good, refreshing, citric aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is citric in a lemony way, refreshingly fruity and sour with a hint of plastic. Flavourful, refreshing and good. 7 3 8 3 17 ZBF08. Weak malty aroma. Sweet flavour, flat not too lively. Grey chestnut amber colour. Small head. Too sweet flavour, sugary. 5 3 5 3 10

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy golden with a dense, off-white head leaving quite some lacework. Lightly tart, leathery nose. Medium body with lightly sweet, pale malts, brett-like accents and fusty horseblanket. There’s some Orval notes there with a dry and lightly astringent finist. Wauw, quite exciting - I really dig this one. 180807

Hazy pale yellow color, big foamy white head. Orange peels, citrusy hops and a bit of yeast in the nose. Crisp, carbonated mouthfeel. Quite light palate. Citrusy (or something between citrus and orange), some candy sugar sweetness. Light bitterness together with sweetness in the aftertaste. Refreshing, no off-flavors, but just a bit too simple.

Bottle at Cambrinus, Bruges. Down as Keyte Strubbe. Gold, thin white head. Strongish alcohol, some tangerine. Bit too strong.
