Courtesy of tderoeck. Commissioned Boelens tripel with medium thick, snow white, stable head and hazy peach blonde colour. Aroma of walnuts, peaches, fried eggs, white bread, pineapple, red apple peel. Fruity taste, very estery, peach and pineapple sweetness, citrus peel with rather refreshing effect, caramelly malt sweetness, yeasty, medium carbonation, yeasty and rather short finish with herbal hops and a hint of warming alcohol. Enjoyable but a bit cliché and lacking refinement, as is often the case with Boelens beers.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of flowers, caramel malt, hops and yeast. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt, with fruity and estery notes and sourish, vinous touches. Medium bitterness. Rough, estery and sweet-sourish aftertaste. Not bad but a trifle too acidic. 5 months past the BBD but this should affect a beer of this style.

Thanks to tderoeck. 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim needs to get rid of his ticks” Tasting. Enjoyed together with tderoeck, Benzai & Alengrin. Hazy golden, white head. Nose is cheap sugar, BE sweet, corn, dull typical BE. Taste is industrial, cheap, BE sweet, lots of syrup, sugar, yeast, plastic fruits in BE fashion. Body is a touch chemical. Run-of-the-mill nonsense.

Sampled from bottle @ Tim needs to get rid of his ticks tasting. Clear apple juice like golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, a hint of fruit, quite some yeast. Decent body and carbonation.

Uber Gusher Alert!!! Little cloudy orange beer, big creamy yellowish head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: dusty, dry, smoky, funky, yeast. MF: way too much carbon, medium body. Taste: nice smoky start, lemony, funky, yeast. Aftertaste: little bitter, fruity, smoky, bit peated, lemony, funky, chemical. Something went wrong here. You don't just add wild yeast to a beer and then bottle it and hope everything will go just fine. It's a little more complicated than that, I'm afraid...

Bottle from Special Brews in Lynwood, WA. Pours dark ruddy copper with an off-white head. Aroma is malty fruits de bois. Med body. Flavor is malty, mixed fruit esters, and something making me think of a sweet cake. Not spectacular, but it’s a nice drink. Not finishing dry, but there’s a little bitter in it.

Bottle from Special Brews in Lynwood, WA. Pours gold with a white head. Fruit ester aromas. Like fruits de bois with a nhint of banana. Flavor is a bit sweet, but the esters and yeast seem appropiate. Pretty tasty and drinkable tripel.
