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.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is spicy herbs, Belgian yeasts, phenolic and strawy. Taste is spicy yeasts, dough, herbal, earthy. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Well made, but boring.

Sample at ZBF 2018, thanks Belgian RB table. Dorée, col blanc . Arôme offre un bouquet plaisant de fleuri mettant de suite un bouquet de lavande bien en avant, le tout complété par de fines effluves de mielleux. Rétro-nasal reste belge dans l'aspect levure, bien balancé avec de belles notes de malt - cara pâle et léger pils. Palais est plaisant, rehaussé par cet ajout de miel où la lavande perce très bien sans pour cela tomber dans le surfait, tellement facile avec ce genre de fleur tout comme c’est la cas avec les pétales de roses. Petite fraicheur en fin de bouche, mielleux reste modéré ajoutant un effet 'cloying', fini reste cependant sec avec des grains distincts.

Slightly cloudy gold yellow beer, creamy solid off-white head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, lavender, bit malty, barn yard. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very floral, nice bitterness, bit fruity, orange peel, bit sour, nice! Aftertaste: soft bitterness, lavender, floral, some citrus, grapefruit, orange peel.
