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.

Bottled@Fonefan. Pale golden colour, not much head. Aroma is malts, hops and some saltwatery notes and Belgoyeast. Flavour uis quite much the same with some slight sweetish notes of something I can’t get my finger on.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear copper, rocky beige head. Some tangering crystallised fruit aroma. Slightly syrupy alcohol. Just a little bit obvious and unsubtle and uncultured overall. Toffee. but the syrupy alcohol finish is pretty nasty. Bad alcohol burn on tongue. Not a great tripel. 2.2 Re - rate, yes not a great tripel and a bit dull and lifeless, but not as bad as I said before

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Very deep red colour. Thin pink head. Sweetish blueberry aroma. Definitely pick the fruit on the aroma as blueberries. It’s alright. Not as good as the Bon Secours one not as complex and this is too obviously fruity syrupy. Fades a bit, and becomes sweet, thin and a bit annoying.

25 cL bottle, 4.5%, one of my first Belgian beers ever if I recall right - rerate 2008. Pours unclear deep purple in beer flavour and purple lacing white head. Solid blueberry aroma, slight earthy and mild spiced. Sweet blueberry flavour - lending towards a slight strawberry like note. Mild finish with a mild sweetness and continued blueberry fruity note.
