Les baies de genévrier sautent au nez, s’agençant aux accents de poivre ainsi qu’à la base maltée céréalière et miellée.
Le liquide ambré est limpide et développe une mousse épaisse et crémeuse qui tient de longues minutes.
En bouche, la base de tripel est toujours présente mais supplantée par le poivre des dunes et les baies de genévrier.
Le mélange fruité / épicé relève des notes légèrement citronnées.
L’amertume est légère, surtout épicée.
La finale est poivrée, légèrement alcoolisée et peu amère.
Souvent, les adjuvants dénaturent la bière originale.
C'est un peu le cas ici.
Ça reste néanmoins une bière exceptionnelle et originale.

Un fond céréalier laisse entrer des épices relevant de la cannelle, du clou de girofle et du poivre.
Un fruité confit rappelant les oranges ainsi que des accents miellés relèvent ces complexes aromes.
Un filet de mousse disparait rapidement sur le liquide doré presque limpide.
En bouche, c’est mielleux, céréalier et épicé.
Les épices dominant largement la palette provenant autant des phénols que des houblons.
La finale combine épices à une amertume herbacée qui demeure relativement douce.
Le corps est bien rond, la texture lisse et la carbo un peu moins vive que les exemples originaux.
Un bel exemple de tripel juste un peu trop ronde et pas assez carbonatée.
Appréciée !

Clean and very refreshing Wheat Triple. The nose features citrus zest punched up by the exploding effervescence, sweet bready malt and a touch of peach. A very active, puffy white head tops a light straw body. Light Belgian yeast, citrus, peach, wheat, sweet malt and light cloves are well blended. The wheat helps keep it clean and light. No sign of the booze.

A big active white head on an orange/straw body. The nose leads with citrus and bready malt, with a hint of grapes and nose tingling effervescence. A well blended, well crafted Tripel. Banana esters, lemon, orange, cloves and candied fruit are well blended lead elements. Green apples, grapes, a touch of honey, and bready sweet malt round out a beautiful blend. Fine and explosive effervescence adds to the taste experience, as with great Belgian beers.

Nose features banana, cloves, caramel malt and dark berries. A frothy off white head on a dense mud brown body (I mean that in a good way). A well balanced taste profile features dates, cloves and cinnamon, caramel malt, dark berries, yeast and apples. Great balance, lively carbonation and solid medium body and texture.

A massive pillowy off-white head, well laced, over a translucent orange/amber body. The nose features Belgian yeast (banana and bubblegum), malt and brown sugar. A beautifully blended begian double, feature classic tastes of brown sugar, roasted malt, caramel, dark berries and dried fruit. Belgian yeast is central to the mix. Nutmeg and other spices and a backdrop of floral hops contribute to a great taste experience.

Mildly hazed, golden-yellow colour with a big, frothy-foamy white head, good retention and nice creamy-foamy lacing. Getting your typical Unibroue Belgian yeast giving spicy, peppery and sugary notes, but some decent herbal hops do blend well with it. Hints of apples, pear do come out with time. A milder mouthfeel, as 5.5% ABV, that is wet and slightly drying in the end. A tad piney flavours balanced with the citrusy zest, light grassiness of the hops and hints of the Belgian yeast. A pretty good, lighter Belgian-style IPA (more Pale Ale) that goes down well, and mixes well the Belgian spicy yeast and grassier-drying hops.

355mL can. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Bready malts, raisins, and some other dried fruits on the nose. Flavour has bready malts, dry brown sugar, raisins and other dried fruit. Pretty solid dark strong, but not really measuring up to proper Belgian stuff.
