It’s the year the restaurant opened, frequented initially by fishermen who spent their days—not angling the rivers—but inside the Siphon, drinking beer.
1902 is a classic Belgian style—a golden Tripel of 8.5% ABV—but with a twist of honey and lavender. The addition of honey accentuates the rich nectar-like maltiness of the beer, and the distinct aromas of the lavender compliment both the floral, earthy hop profile and the banana-esque, apricot yeast flavours.

Hazy blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are dominated by herbal 'gale'. Too soapy and medicinal for me.
