33cl bottle in my hotel room (in Brugge), late on 26th Nov 2016. Clear golden pour, full white head. Tropical fruits in the nose alongside a resin like aroma. Taste had a citrusy leaning and was semi-bitter in the finish. OK.

Tripel hopped with an American hop variety (Citra, if I’m not mistaken), brewed at Boelens for a new beer company called Enigma, which is situated in Heusden-Zolder. Bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhal. Medium thick, moussy, off-white head leaving some lacing here and there, dissolving in the middle to a maze of thin foam but retaining well on the edge; initially almost clear, deep and warm old gold colour with orange hue and strings of vivid fizz rising up from the bottom, perturbing a very diffuse haze of yeast bits, which form a deeper orange, cloudy appearance when the sediment is added. Aroma of moldy orange peel, blood orange juice, green banana, dried weeds, watermelon, jute, old toast, lots of clove-like and eventually even slightly medicinal phenols (old aspirine), peach, old ’jenever’, bitter herbs, soap, caramel, yellow plum, straw, old cloth, kiwi. Lively fruity onset, orange freshness combined with sweet banana, peach and pineapple and sourish gooseberry, green apple and grape peel, sweetish with a souring edge further accentuated by a spritzy, fizzy carbonation, perhaps a tad overcarbonated even for a tripel; the sweetness itself is also enhanced by residual white candi sugar. Smooth, supple and somewhat soapy mouthfeel, fruitiness persisting over a backbone of lightly caramelly and somewhat bready malt sweetness with a sharper grainy touch to it; spicy phenols are apparent early on and only grow in intensity, initially adding clove-like spiciness but eventually descending into band aid and other medicinal effects retronasally. The Citra adds a vivid orange aroma at the back but it has clearly faded already - being notoriously fragile and I have no idea how long this bottle had been standing in the shop; hop bitterness remains subtle and gentle, a bit spicy but surely not enough to erase the caramelly and somewhat honeyish sweetness. Warming alcohol in the tail, with a somewhat gin-like effect, as well as some yeast bitterness. By itself not a bad beer: a technically correct tripel pimped with a fancy American hop variety, bright and vividly fruity in both appearance and taste, but the Belgian yeast effects clearly stand in the way of the delicate Citra properties - especially phenols, which are way too strong here even if you consider this to be ’just’ a tripel. Actual hop bitterness could have been more pronounced; I think pushing this beer more explicitly in an IPA direction would only make it shine even brighter. For now: another sweet Belgian tripel of which there are too many already here, but in that particular subsegment, not the worst I had so far. Expected more... I do like the label, though, and will certainly give the Ragnarok they are developing now, a chance as well.

Bottle shared at the Great Job America tasting. cloudy orange, reminding one of Trump’s natural complexion, with a big bubbly off white head. Aroma of herbs, light fruits, citrus and peach notes, light yeast and light malt. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.

33cl bottle shared with Kermis at the "Disaster, Trump will be president" tasting :-(  Thick white head. Cloud blond pour. Citrus in the aftertaste. refreshing

Tap at Delirium Cafe. Relatively fresh feeling well attenuated well hopped beer with light complementary yeasty spiciness. Easy drinking, medium-high carbonation. Citrusy resiny hops flavour. Good.
