Description
Sixth generation headstrong Belgian true craft and traditional brewery, established in the early 1800's and on the same exact location were we are still today since 1859! Call us stubborn. But we are still a family with strong values. We still brew all our beers ourselves. We still use the original copper kettles. And we can guarantee our quality for at least another 150 years! We're headstrong. True craft brewers. And we're from Belgium!! These beers were not made in someone's garage as a hobby. For six generations, brewing is our family's passion. We do not follow hypes. We stay true to the craft. Without compromises on quality. And in this respect, you can call us stubborn.

I heard some people saying this was a good beer, but to me it’s just decent. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing spectacular either.

Deep red purple colour, purple-ish lasting white head. Aroma of bilberry with some sweet lemonade tones. Flavour of bilberry and sugar. Some malt tones. Too much sugar for my flavour, I would have liked to taste the astringency of the bilberry skin. Too sweet, otherwise OK.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-amber colour with a blond dense and tall foamy head. Yeasty, sweet malty and slightly citrus-fruity aroma with mouldy and spicy notes. Sweet and bitter flavour, medium bodied with a rather lame carbonation. Initially slightly sugary malty and fruity taste with a rising bitterness towards the finish, which is furthermore metallic and mildly spicy. Not the best Tripel out there. 17.VI.11

Originally rated November 2008. Bought at the LCBO, with an added sticker written 5.5% alc./vol. Pours a pale golden-yellow colour that is hazy. Carbonation is decent, with a small white head that does not leave much behind. The aromas are very mild with little orange zest and Belgian white yeast. A refreshing mouthfeel that is semi-crisp. Again, not much to the taste. A little citrus, a little yeast and a little apple aftertaste. Not much here at all.
