Bottle @ home. Hazy yellow color, huge foamy white head. Aroma is malts, yeast, a hint of citrus. Taste malts, again lightly citrus and some yeast, medium bitterness. Decent body, firm a bit fizzy carbonation. Apart from the annoying carbonation it’s an ok beer.

33cl bottle shared with kermis. The bottle was half empty and had somehow escaped leaving a mouldy mess in the cardboard box. Thin white head. Cloudy blond pour. Average.

Golden colour with quick fading head. Flavour has lots of complex fruit sugars and honey. Not overly sweet though.

Commissioned tripel (once again)... Lots of pressure in the bottle and smoke coming out of it, but no gushing. Very thick, rocky, dense, beaten egg-like, lacing head over an initially clear orangey golden beer with a ’fog’ of yeast bits throughout. Aroma of yellow plum, gooseberry, white rum, banana (even some bubblegum), honey, vanilla ice cream, apple cake, roses, powder sugar, sugared chicory, caramel, sweetbread, cream, sweet curry, fried egg, ginger, white pepper and already some rusty onsetting oxidation making the whole less attractive than it probably was when young. Fruity taste, estery with suggestions of pineapple, banana, pear and peach, sweet with a sourish accent, well-carbonated and even numbing the tongue a bit (in other words, overcarbonated), slick and smooth body, caramelly, honeyish and somewhat bready malt sweetness with white candi sugar and ongoing fruity esters on top, spicy hints, malt sweet finish with growing but still restrained earthy and floral hop bitterness, drying, yeasty as well, some warming, white rum-like alcohol. Technically more or less okay though the sweet curry spiciness in the nose bothered me a bit, but again too sweet even for a commercially intended tripel, a bit tiring even. Should receive a lot more hop bitterness in order to be even acceptable from a conceptual point of view. And there is no doubt in my mind that this ages very badly too...
