The triple in the Bertinchamps cliché trinity, from a stout 50 cl bottle (which seems rather much for a triple) with a very simple, straightforward label. No spices used, apparently, so I have no reason to fear overt coriander this time. Irregular, moussy, lacing, light yellowish white head residing over a clear, warm orange blonde beer with quiet sparkling. Aroma of strong banana and bubblegum ester (isoamylacetate), dough, biscuit, pineapple, peach, clove- and even varnish-like phenols, flowers, white pepper, hint of whisky-like alcohol. Rounded, sweet fruitiness in the onset, emphatically banana- and fruit bubblegum-like, some peach and melon, bit sugary (white candi sugar!), medium tingling carb, smooth and supple mouthfeel, bit resinous, pale malt sweetness with a biscuity and caramelly layer on top of it, white candi sugar sweetness remaining, leading to a sweetish, but not cloying finish with clove-like spicy phenols and a soft, deep, dull, lightly leafy and herbal hop bitterishness which remains in the background; some warming liqueurish alcohol shows up as well, but not obnoxiously. The residual white candi sugar sweetness and prominent banana-bubblegum flavour linger. Well-rounded tripel, no obvious flaws, but too sweet and bubblegum-like, even tilted to the sugary side with not enough hop bitterness to balance it; a redundant beer, but I cannot blame these people for trying, of course, and I kind of like the simplicity of the bottle and label. Also better than their Blonde I had at Heeren Van Liedekercke a few years ago, though I can imagine that one has improved meanwhile too.

Nietypowa butelka pollitrowa jak na belgie jest ciekawa choc prosta. Piana srednia i malo trwala jak na belgie. Aromat biszkoptow komfitury pomaranczowej i gruszkowego musu. smaki jakby odzwierciedlaja aromaty. Zlociste piwo klarowne smaczne choc nieco za slodowe.

F: average white, not long lasting. C: cloudy yellow gold. A: malt, citrus, banana, floral, hops, yeast, hint of green pepper. T: sweet malt, banana, grassy hops, sugar, yeast, medium body, good carbonation, hints of pepper, bread and honey. Not bad but not my style, something is missing there.

Draft. A brown beer with a tram head. the aroma has notes of roasted malt, bread, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and alcohol leading to a dry finish.

F: almost no head. C: dark red brown. A: sweet malty, slightly smoked aroma, yeasty, molasses, brown sugar, a hints of mocha, sausage, bacon, figs and some wood. T: red-fruit sweet, sourish, fruity, like coffee, overripe fruits, some chocolate, medium body, soft carbonation, not big one but I like the difference from other of this style.

From tap. Pours cloudy orange to yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity, slight phenolic. Bitter, slight herbal. Phenolic. Toasted malty. Dry and phenolic finish.
