Zeevonk Tripel is gebaseerd op onze blonde Zeevonk maar dan nog intenser van smaak door het gebruik van een abdijgist. Dit zorgt voor een nog vollere smaak die nog lang blijft nazinderen na de eerste slok.

From a 330ml bottle on 2/1/2026 (shared with Ed). Pours a clear deep golden with a big foamy head. The nose is Belgian yeasty with some citrus and spice. Taste is relatively sweet, fruity, with spice and citrus rind, finishing quite dry and moderately bitter. Fullish bodied with average carbonation. Very pleasant and quite easy drinking for the size.

Bottle. Deep gold, a near cm of white head. Aroma of spiced dough, minor herbal and stone fruit notes. Not much richness from the malt side of things nor citrus or stone fruit. But the phenolic spicy notes meld with moderate bitterness OK. Alcohol is completely hidden. Not really very tripelish but quite tasty nonetheless.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Clear golden color, full sized quickly diminishing white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly yeasty, lightly herbal, average to decently bitter finish. Not bad.

Oranjegeel bier met schuim. Smaak is vrij bitter en ietwat zoet met iets van abrikoos, banaan, appel en een sterke alcohol smaak. Voor een tripel is deze vrij bitter moet ik zeggen, maar zeker niet minder smaakvol.

After an ordinary blonde, this Zeevonk project continues the 'sea sparkle' theme with a tripel, essentially the stronger version of the first, also - almost certainly, the label remains silent - executed at BeerSelect; vichy bottle from De Picker in Zele. Thick, creamy, egg-white, audibly crackling, regular, membrane-lacing, firm head on a misty peach blonde robe with beige-ish tinge. Aroma of green pear, banana peel, clove, coriander seed, 'oude graanjenever', moist white pepper, old jute rope, dry potato peel, cold pasta, nutmeg, dandelion, unripe peach, plastic, hint of chicken soup. Fruity onset, quite crisp, sweetish with hints of halfripe banana, unripe peach and green pear, fizzily carbonated; slight sourish and even very faintly umami (green olive) undertones, moving forward into a smooth, rounded cerealliness with sweetish core, lightly bready and even very faintly biscuity, while the fruity esters continue and spicy phenols develop (clove, nutmeg) along with a 'real' coriander spiciness. Floral and slightly earthy hop bitter notes join in, while a 'jenever'-like alcohol presence unsubtly treads to the foreground and - as feared - deposits a wry, heating, astringent alcohol effect on the root of the tongue and in the throat, still accompanied by coriander, fruity esters and clove-like phenols. Very much a 'tripel' alright - in the most cliché, stereotypical way imaginable, adding absolutely nothing to the already vast ocean of tripels floating around in this country. Technically more or less correct, with this typical tripel aroma, coriander spicing, bittersweet booziness and fruitiness, but infathomably redundant. I bet the next Zeevonk beer will be a dubbel...
