Regional beer developped by André Paeleman from Wetteren in 1996 and taken over by Van Steenberge; apparently refers to a beer made in the 18th century in the Ghent and Wetteren region. Soft, blonde ale with yeasty and fruity onset, straightforward, malt sweet with dryish finish. Very average at best and certainly not a real tripel at only 6.8% ABV.

Dubbel with light beige head and deep brown colour. Weakish aroma, malty, nuts, bit spicy, pear, banana; fruity taste, malt sweetness, estery, slick, medium hop bitterness in the finish. Still continued by Van Steenberge after André Paeleman stopped his brewing activities.

The original Bellebier, renamed ’Bellebier Amber’ after the introduction of a tripel version in 2008 and apparently commissioned by André Paeleman, who already gave the world Uitzet and Lam Gods years ago. Very thick, rocky, flower-shaped, snow-white head, irregularly inflating but nevertheless remaining stable; colour a pure golden blonde and not at all amber contrary to its name, cloudy only after adding the yeast deposit, as any bottle-fermented Belgian is supposed to be. Aroma of sweetish pale malt, pineapple, cookie dough, gooseberries, grassy and flowery hops, hay, peaches, tad of sour cream and lemon peel. Fruity onset, citrus freshness, strong carbonation as expected given the size of the head, rounded malty base accompanied by a sourish taste that carries on till deep into the finish resulting in a dry effect, ending mildly but clearly hoppy, light bitter. Nothing too exciting but still just a bit more interesting than I am used to from Van Steenberge.

Standard tripel. Yeasty, bit hoppy and with some fruits. Decent and all, but not very special.

Standard Belgian blond beer. Has the usual traits of the style, but nothing exciting apart from that.

Golden yellow colour, a lot of white foam. Medium carbonation. Sweet malty aroma with notes of spices. Light bitter aftertaste with some strange sour note. This beer is a bit unbalaced.
