Description
Brasserie du Bocq was set up in 1858 by Martin Belot. The Brewery was incorporated into a limited company in 1949. Independent of any Belgian or foreign brewer, it still beholds its own family nature. Located in the heart of the Condroz, wonderful tourist region, this dynamic company still uses the traditional manufacturing process of top-fermentation beers with secondary fermentation in the bottle.

In 1983, Brasserie du Bocq abandons the exploitation of Central Brasserie Marbaix -La-Tour, to bring all the beer production back to Purnode where the production tools have been radically modernized on the basis of equity. Today in Purnode, although the Belot family has sold its assets to the Keersmaekers family who has been producing the Corsendonk at the Brasserie du Bocq for over 30 years, and even though the brewery has far exceeded its regional framework, nothing has changed and the values of the company remain intact.

Je suis triste que cette gamme de la brasserie Du Bocq perdure et s'élargisse. Cela veut donc dire qu'elle a trouvé son public et qu'elle se vend. Trop sucré, sans complexité voire d'intérêt gustatif bref en mode bourrin. Tous les gouts sont dans la nature me direz-vous. Mais je suis toujours aussi déçu qu'un brasseur belge puisse répondre de la sorte aux sirènes de la bière médiocre et commerciale. La Belgique mérite mieux que cela. En verre, nous sommes sur une ambré légèrement voilé avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanc cassé de 2 cm. Le nez est sur le candy, le sucre, le caramel et un léger citron. En bouche le sucre et saturé avec de fait un alcool qui ne se ressent pas. L'amertume tente tout de même de donner un peu de fraîcheur mais avec grande difficulté. Les arômes sont aussi peu intéressants qu'au nez avec de légère épices en complément. Corpulences et longueurs sont très correctes pour une bière qui ne l'est pas.

Barwa jasnozłota, zmętnione, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie kolendra, cytrus, jabłko.

W smaku lekko kwaskowe, półsłodkie, akcenty cytrusowe, owocowe. Kontra chmielowa znikoma.

Goryczka niska, wysycenie optymalne, ciała odrobinę za dużo, przez co delikatnie cierpi pijalność.

Trochę za mało orzeźwiające. Sam dodatek jabłka ok, ale balans do poprawy.

Rather hazy, pale yellow, thick head at first. Coriander and citrus aroma. Taste of coriander, some citrus and banana.

Surprised at the low rating overall. Had it on draught, in brussels. Poured a light gold with moderate head. Sweet and very refreshing, some fruits but not overpoweringly so. A lot more drinkable than many of its higher rated contemporary Tripels.
Earlier Rating: 4/15/2007 Total Score: 3.2
Bottle. Very yellowy. Lots of head. Hoppy and lemony. Not too bad. Little bitter and lots of CO2.

Botttle. Have had several of these with moderate to medium expectations, which it exceeded. Pours a cloudy gold, can taste the coraiander but a good balance. Recommended.
