Light hazy golden with a big white head. Fruity aroma with some ginger-like notes. Sweet fruity taste with a low bitter finish.

Tea-flavoured tripel from this successful Antwerp brewery that revived the old local ‘seefbier’; steinie bottle from a Delhaize supermarket. Apparently originally called “Lizzie”… Snow white, frothy, cobweb-lacing, thick and stable head on a misty straw blonde beer with herbal-greenish tinge, turning more ochre-tinged cloudy apricot with sediment. Aroma of banana peel, honey, indeed a clear herbal presence of tea – green tea, but also Earl Grey, further hints of white bread, ripe pear, soap, gypsum, fresh lemonbalm leaf, coriander seed, parsnip, freshly cut grass, old potatoes. Fruity, fizzy onset, banana, pear and green apple fruitiness, minerally carbonation with full and more or less smooth, bit glueish body; white-bready, cereally malts, soapy aspect that becomes briefly accentuated by the coriander, but then indeed this green and dried tea leaf effect sets in, lingering around retronasally for quite a while, as lingering fruitiness, yeasty breadiness, a phenolic clove-like accent and mild grassy hop bitterness continue. Some warming alcohol is noticeable, but not too strongly so. Not really my cup of tea (pun not intended) as I do not usually drink tea, I guess I prefer a coffee-flavoured stout over a tea-flavoured tripel, but this is in itself correctly executed and delivers what it promises, in an accessible, sweetish, ‘trusted’ flavour environment the larger masses will easily appreciate.

Pours a hazed dark blonde to amber. Medium sized, stable white head. Scent is malty, orange ( straight up ) even more so, it reminds me of those vitamins to disolve in water that taste like orange. Taste is medium to medium thin bodied, medium high carbo. orange, but way less intense (or chemical) than the scent made me fear. Hoparoma, and certainly fruity, yet not at all tropical. Not at all creamy. Too high bitterness for the style. NEIPA doesnt work with refermentation. NEIPA ( so far in my experience ) doesnt thrive in bottle, as it darkens instantly. This beer didnt have that problem though... As it is in fact not a NEIPA. None of the criteria are met. One more in the ever-so-long list of beers that claim they're a NEIPA, but aren't. At all. It's a drinkable beer, it's not overly complex or smooth, so certainly not a global compedator, but if you find yourself in an average bar with not to much choices, this might be one to try. However, i'm allergic to these style-butchering beers. Don't name it a NEIPA and we'd be better friends !

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Coop Culemborg. Hazy orange with a white head. Piny citrus aroma with some mango. Sweet taste with a crisp finish. Nice Belgian NEIPA.

hazy grey-ish pale golden colour, large, dense and long lasting ecru-ish white head; aroma of grainy, peppery, apple peel, earthy-yeasty, floral honey and slight canned pear notes; typical tripel taste with apple and peppery notes; dry mouthfeel; great tripel - considerably underrated

Flaska från Belgiuminabox. Bärnstensfärgad disig vätska med högt krämigt skum. Munkänsla är mjuk och len. Torr trots söt smakbild. Maltiga och karamelliga smaker med blommiga och kryddiga övertoner. Ingefäran märks mer ju varmare drycken blir. Svår att få grepp om. Inte så tydlig belgisk karaktär, snare krämig red ale men med kryddiga inslag. Trevlig

Aroma: Malty with floral notes. Flavour: Malty sweet with perfume and sweet fruits. Aftertaste is fruity sweet and lightly bitter. Colour: Amber with an offwhite head.
