Collaboration between Brunn and Stanium, two Beveren-based microbreweries that are actually not more than one street away from each other; intended for the Special Olympics and actually a blend of a Stanium brew and a Brunn brew, both following the same recipe... Medium thick, egg-white, mousy head lacing in shreds over a cloudy ochre-tinged apricot blonde beer. Aroma of banana, elderblossom (that meaty-floral combo, even if no elderblossom was used here), brown soap, soggy brioche bread, honey, cloves, dried orange peel, liquorice candy note, vague hints of chicken broth and damp cloth. Sweet onset, banana ester mingled with ripe pear and peach aspects, cooked apple, clear residual honeyish sweetness covering the whole, quite softly carbonated, with a white-bready, fluffy, brioche-like malt core. Clove, liquorice and dried citrus peel spiciness in the end, next to a softish floral hop bitter touch and lingering yeasty breadiness. Spicy blonde, not bad in terms of sheer flavour, but feeling a tad 'dirty' and overly yeasty.

The 'core' beer in a series of five dedicated to the 15th-century nobleman Judocus Vijd, the man who commissioned the Lam Gods painting by Van Eyck, one of the greatest highlights of medieval painting. The Beveren association of microbrewers and 'bierfirma's' called Bier Verenigt took care of the whole series - not so strangely, as Vijd was born in Beveren. This one is brewed with meslin (the old wheat and rye mixture), whisky malt, coriander seed, raisins and curaçao, at Stanium. Very violent gusher so be warned. Thick, egg-white, frothy, quite large-bubbled head, cloudy 'dirty' amberish orange blonde robe with vague ochre hue. Aroma of ripe peach, banana, honey, baker's yeast, orange zest, pronounced coriander seed, chewing gum, minerals, rainwater, lightly toasted peanuts. Sweet and fruity onset, hinting at peach, banana and pear, sharply carbonated (no doubt related to the gushing) with negative effect on mouthfeel; caramelly and sweetish-bready malty middle with yeasty effect as well as clear orange peel and a sweet raisin accent, followed by obvious coriander seed soapiness and lingering yeast fruitiness. Light floral hop bitter touch, lingering residual (honeyish) sweetness at the back too. Sweet, spicy, yeasty Belgian ale with strong coriander effect; the alcohol even peeps through a bit in the finish, which should not be the case for a 7% ABV beer. In need of finetuning, and the gushing alone clearly shows that something urgently needs to be fixed here...

Huge yellow head, dense, fed by very lively carbonated orange beer. Bitter in the nose, hops, spices, orangezeste, cardboard. Perfumed flavour, again citrus/oranges/zeste. Bitter finish, whilst the main taste is rather neutral. Very slight burning MF, very carbonated, spritzy. Feels oily - the Bergamotte? Medium bodied. OK beer, but the tea doesn't come out for me. Thanks to Stef!

New beer from this very small and quiet microbrewery in Beveren-Waas (my home region), a tripel trying to evoke whisky flavour; bottle from Dranken De Moor in nearby Haasdonk. Thin (and eventually completely dissolving), snow white, regular, open head with a disrupted, waferthin veil in the middle, misty apricot blonde robe with pale orangey tinge and visible minute yeast dots everywhere. Aroma of peach, soggy white bread, banana, freshly cut chervil or even chervil soup (weirdly), faint whiff of whisky indeed, old dried orange peel (probably curaçao), stewed parsley root, coriander seed but not too strong, fried pumpkin, moist ginger powder, vegetable 'bouillon', pond water, cooked parsnip, old apple peel. Sweet onset, some banana ester mingled with pineapple and sweet red apple, light sourish edge, softly tingling carb, smooth body; lightly caramelly, somewhat sweet cracker-like, sleek white-bready malt sweetish core with a very faint presence of whisky malt (hence the name, I assume). Herbal spicy notes in the end with lingering sweet fruitiness. Some curaçao 'frâicheur' and a faint touch of soapy coriander seed appear in the end, with a kind of light 'green' note (green plants), paired with a very mild floral hoppiness, providing a light 'dusty' bitter accent in the end - but very (too!) softly so, as more bitterness is added by a whisky-tinged alcohol warmth. Sweet tripel like there are too many around already, admittedly with a slight twist of herbs and whisky malt, but this twist remains altogether too subtle to make much difference. Easygoing beer, too easygoing in fact - this brewery needs more 'oomph', but I can imagine the average beer drinker in Beveren not being ready for something more outspoken than this kind of 'everyone's friends'.

Pours unclear blonde, smell is weak. Tad sweet, bit phenolic. Taste is plastic-ish. Sweet, grainy, very raw. Not a typical tripel at all, OK at best, it feels a bit unfinished. Wattery body, some wort sweetness. lower carbo.
