Description
In 2009 starten Thijs Maenhout en Birgit De Rammelaere met een kleine brouwerij in een voormalige bouillonfabriek tussen Tielt en Meulebeke. In 2014 verhuizen zij naar Pittem omdat de capaciteit van de brouwerij niet meer voldoende bleek. Begin 2015 draait de nieuwe brouwerij, met een capaciteit van 1200 hectoliter, op volle toeren.

Bottle, 75cl. A cute looking beer, almost clear, golden in color and topped by a dense, finger-thick white head. The aroma has some light spicyness, as well as pale malts, toffee and a generic fruityness. Quite sweet, in a pleasant way, on the palate, full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Still, it feels quite dryish, especially towards the finish. Some bitterness, and pale malts, toffee hints and fruityness. A faint spiced touch too. Pleasant bitterness in the end. Not your everyday tripel, but a nice beer anyway. 111229

No gushing, but once pouring, one ends with 95% of dense, white foam (quite stable) and 5% of clear copper-golden beer; Stinks to high heaven upon opening. Sulphur, cooking cabbage, faeces, but also lunaria, garden herbs, hops. Tastes thankfully better, but the sulphur remains there, and seems to hail from the dried, harsh and crude hops. They might be American, they are not aromatic C-hops - or they have suffered cruelly from the voyage. Finish has reminiscences of smelly running cheese, even when lemon and lemonpeel feature as well. Titillating carbonation, medium bodied, somehow refreshing; It’s not really bad. But it DOES stink.

(Bottle, 0.375 l, at Tuulensuu, 20120811) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grass, hops and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, malts, Belgian style yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, fruity and bitter. A very tasty hoppy and clearly Belgian style beer.

Brown 75cl bottle: best before 21 May 2013, brewed 21 May 2011 and opened 01 July 2012 and poured into three glasses in one go, to try and keep the sediment at bay. Even so the beer was a misty/cloudy looking brew of old gold: on top of each glass a thin wispy head that wasn’t intending to stay around for long and didn’t. Spices in the nose along with the sweeter citrus fruits (oranges/tangerines etc. etc), add some yeast esters and a tablespoon full of sugar and you’ve got the aroma. The taste is very simular to the smells and there is very little hop presence to give any balance or bitterness. Corinader is mentioned on the label and I tried to find the flavour within the beer but failed. Not a great example of a Belgian Tripel but a different slant on the style maybe and not what I was expecting.
