Troebel geel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter hoppig, licht zoet en licht fruitig met iets van honing. gewoon goed maar geen topper.

Bruin bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is zoetzuur en licht bitter met iets van chocolade, bramen en kersen. Niet onaardig dit bier.

Belgian ale from this new brewery in the Hautes Fagnes, a fruit beer with concentrated blueberry juice. Thanks to my girlfriend Goedele for bringing the bottle along from a trip to the city of Lièges. Pale lilac, mousy, thick, papery lacing, stable head, deep hazy fuchsia red robe with purple tinge. Aroma of indeed blueberry juice and blueberry jam, quite unmistakably so, mingled with notes of soggy white bread, chalk, white yoghurt, touch of sweet tomato sauce, forest fruit jam. Sweetish but also - quite unexpectedly - sourish onset, very much blueberry-coloured indeed, actual blueberry juice almost, with a citric edge; lively fizz, cereally malt core, but a bit thinnish. Retronasally, the blueberry juice effect returns, while down on the tongue, that light fruity tartness - even with a yoghurty edge - lingers. Some chalky and very light spicy accents in the end, otherwise ending restrainedly malt sweet with that strong aromatic fruitiness and light sourness remaining. The blueberry effect is, in all, more genuine here than I was expecting, which in the case of top-fermented Belgian fruit beers is a good thing; the sourish touch, no matter how light, also seems 'real' and helps maintain a high drinkability. Not my type of beer, but admittedly far better than I was expecting.

Pretty clear deep ruby beer, small creamy light pink head, little stable. Aroma: bit malty, yeast, fruity notes, not too much. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sourish, acidic, fruity, bit lemony, dry. Aftertaste: bit fruity, some blueberries, more acidic notes, some tannins, bit chalky, dry acidic finish.

The tripel in this classically conceived series by a new Belgian microbrewery. Initially inches thick, pillowy, egg-white, tightly plaster-like lacing head over hazy orangey-tinged peach blonde beer with some yeast dots sinking to the bottom in the end. Aroma of banana isoamylacetate, chewing gum even, green pear, soapy coriander, wodka, straw, white pepper, bread crumbs, some background DMS. Sweetish onset, banana ester and apple-, peach- and pineapple-like accents, sharp and souring (over)carbonation, very minerally; full, rounded mouthfeel, bready-doughy in maltiness and becoming a bit soapy from the coriander, with a thin layer of residual ‘white’ sugariness on top. Coriander seed spiciness grows strong in the end, supported by an earthy and bit herbal hop bitterness and light phenolic-spicy notes; the finishing stage is dominated by strong, heating, wodka-like alcohol, a tad too much so even for a tripel. Some DMS, bit too boozy and ‘overcoriandered’, so not a top notch tripel – which makes me question again why new breweries keep coming up with these worn-out 20th century standard formulas…

Bottle from Les Fleurs. Mahogany with a medium head. Aroma of Belgian yeast and fruit. Flavour is sweet red fruit, yeast and spice, sticky sweet berries, dry boozyfinish.
