7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Hazy golden color; creamy head. Nice malty aroma; mature. Quite smooth, malty; dryer at the end, well balanced by the bitterness, but a light metallic note.

Koantjes Bier from De Proefbrouwerij

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
Pale orange-amber; thick fluffy head. Nose is very dry, candy-sugar, citrus. Taste is rather sweet, roasted malt, even peanuty; but not bacon-like as the name suggests. Medium to full-bodied. Dryness of course masks the body. A typical tripel, this time by the Proefbrouwerij. Ubiquitous. Archetypal for the style - and the brewery; competent without being brilliant.

Knock Out (K-O) from De Proefbrouwerij

8.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Hazy golden color; thin, persistent pelage. Very nice aroma, malty, fruity (anans & mango, banana), candies, light wood; original & complex.
Full mouth, malty, perfectly balanced between a light sweetness and a correct bitterness; different to believe it's so strong!
The final starts gently, getting bitter more and more.
Different, but a valid antagonist for the Duvel!

Sterre Aalter Vooruit from De Proefbrouwerij

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
Beer displays bottling date! Excellent! Colour is yellow-orange, with fast dissipating white head. nose gives diacetyl, some coriandre (?), lime-water. Diacetyl masks so much... Taste is diacetyl, although not really all-overpowering; sweet basic taste, a bit of citrus flavour. There is another volatile compound, but I can't pin it down. Mouthfeel is rather spritzy. A little alcohol. Diacetyl seems to enhance the body. Aftertaste sweetish. Flavours keep long going. Some brewers will probably never learn, but i'm surprised that a professional team as Naudts' will deliver such diacetyl containing beer, and a pale beer at that. It leaves no other flavour a chance.

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Yeast completely floculating & in suspension. Orange-yellow, hazy. Nose is, not surprisingly, very yeasty. Dry and sugary at the same time. Some citrus. Taste is sweet with some overlying bitterness as from orange peel or bitter spices (turmeric, horseradish). Surprisingly empty mouthfeel, seen the yeast. Alcohol. Aftertaste just some more bitterness. Doesn't really convince me, truth to be told.

Ronsischen Tripel from De Proefbrouwerij
23 years ago
7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Clear golden, thick, yellowish head. Very yeasty nose, bubblegum; some grain,sweetish. Taste is really yeast-bitter (yeast is NOT in suspension), very hoppy. Spicey backthroat-bitterness, long. There IS an underlying sweetness, but it is more guessed than tasted. Mouthfeel is a bit pappy, some alcohol. Aftertaste is bitterness; which goes on.
