Bottle @ home shared by Joeren86. Unclear golden color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, wheat, a bit sweet, a light touch of corn somehow. Decent body and carbonation. Ok tripel I guess but it's just not my thing I guess.

Bottle from the Albert Heijn located next to the brewery in Hulst - a fresh bottle, so why this is listed as 'retired' here, I have no idea... A tripel with wheat honoring the local wildlife – Hulst is situated in a very rural region – in this case the partridge, which indeed can be spotted regularly in the surrounding area. Thick and moussy, eggshell-white, irregularly but tightly lacing, stable head over a hazy peach-hued golden blonde beer with numerous strings of fierce sparkling rising up from the bottom, sustaining the pillowy head. Aroma of canned peaches, ripe melon, banana, sweetbread, coriander seed, apple, soap, dried dandelion, camomile flowers, white bread, dried orange peel and a whiff of overcooked white cabbage (DMS) which initially remains subtle, but gets stronger and ‘stinkier’ with sediment. Fruity onset, some banana ester surrounded by peach and pear notes, sweetish with a light sourish edge, medium carbonation, full, smooth, fluffy and slightly soapy mouthfeel. Bready and lightly caramelly malt sweet body with some wheat ‘soapiness’ at the sides and honeyish residual sugar sweetness on top, lingering beyond a mellow coriander spiciness, floral hop bitterishness and bready, eventually earthy yeastiness in the finish, where the alcohol remains well hidden. Typical sweet ‘tarwetripel’ or tripel ‘tout court’, too bad for that DMS but otherwise decent enough.

Bottle @ home. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Citrus, malts and hops. Bit sour, bitter finish. Light sweet notes. Ok balance. Decent beer.
