Description
In 1979 sloten de deuren van de laatste brouwerij in Brasschaat definitief. Met deze sluiting werd er een punt gezet achter een jarenlange traditie, dat elk gehucht, dorp of stad zijn eigen brouwerij had. Sinds 2013 zijn wij, Kane Janssens en Denis Vinken, echter volop bezig met onze gemeente terug op de bierkaart te plaatsen en alzo de verloren gegane brouwerstraditie van Brasschaat terug nieuw leven in te blazen.

Vanaf het begin draaide het om brouwen, brouwen is onze passie! Het creëren van nieuwe bieren en het spelen met ingrediënten maakt het geheel bijzonder dynamisch en boeiend! Met onze testinstallatie, kunnen wij maximaal per dag 1,2 Hl brouwen. Voor onze grotere brouwsels maken we gebruik van Brouwerij-Distilleerderij Craywinckelhof in Lubbeek. Tijdens het brouwen participeren wij maximaal.

Bottle. Hazy yellow to golden color, full sized long lasting white head. Smell and taste malts, yeast, light fruitpeel, somewhat sweet and slight tannine sour. Average to decent body, decent carbonation. Overall meh, i don’t like the tannine fruitpeel sourness.

Bottle @ home. Lightly unclear yellow golden color, huge fizzy bubble white head that diminishes fast. Smell and taste malts, wheat, a hint of vomit, lightly bitter, old hops, dustya and something weird, reminds me of plastic. Average to decent body. Meh, not very good to say the least.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20160806)The beer poured golden and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey, herbalness and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were spiciness, honey, sweetness, herbalness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, hoppy and bitter. An unbalanced tripel but not  a bad one.

After recreating an old tripel, d’Oude Caert now has this ’tripel hop’ version, following a trend of hop-forward tripels in Belgium. Thickly ’papery’ lacing, creamy, egg-white, stable head, lightly hazy deep golden blonde colour with slightly greenish hue and quiet sparkling. Aroma of banana, even slight bubblegum isoamylacetate, grass, nettles, peach, pineapple slices in syrup, ripe gooseberry, powder sugar, white pepper, aged abbey cheese, coriander seed, old ’jenever’, butter, apple peel, field flowers, yellow plums. Fruity, spritzy onset, banana, apple and gooseberry flavors, sweetish with some traces of white candi sugar but not overly so, minerally accents, medium carbo, supple body. Banana ester carries on over the middle, consisting of a lightly bready and honeyish malt sweet backbone, while spicy phenols show up and the ’tripel hop’ character emerges in the form of a grassy, floral, peppery, thoroughly European bitterness, drying the finish a bit without becoming IPA-like - and this probably wasn’t the intention to begin with, so in all, just a little bit hoppier than the regular tripel. The mildly spicy and floral hop bitterness does linger a bit as the beer goes down, while a warming, unmistakable, ’jenever’-like alcohol glow appears as well; residual white candi sugar sweetishness and some soapy coriander are the last things I taste after swallowing, more so than hop bitterness even. Tripel alright, in all senses and certainly not a bad one at that... As for the ’hop’ part in the name: granted that this is a bit hoppier than the regular tripel, and even though the (marketing-forwarded) Belgian family brewers’ concept of ’tripel hop’ refers to a tripel that has undergone some of the international hop forward-craze without being IPA, I still feel that this could do with even more hop generosity - or, why not, some New World hop variety for more hop aroma. In this form, this is very safe and remaining too close to its predecessor in being a ’stereotypical Belgian tripel’. Still a technically well-executed and perfectly fine Belgian, though - at least in the shape in which I had it, as later batches seem to be of inferior quality if I see many other ratings from experienced tasters here...

33cl bottle shared with Kermis. GUSHER!. Thick creamy white head. Cloudy blond pour. A slighly hoppy triple. I marked it down a point because of the gushing
