Deep brown colour with stable, creamy head. Aroma and flavour have medicinal notes. Obviously Gale but also some clove and bay. The base beer in the background seems really good. Would be nice to have a version without additional herbs.

Blond colour with light haze. The Gale / Gagel comes through in the aroma and flavour although it doesn't dominate too much. There's some sweet pale malts in there too. The herb gives a fairly fresh, almost eucalyptus zing.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw, yeast, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, yeast, and fruits, leading to a dry finish.

Tripel with whisky malt to achieve a smoky effect (hence the name), a creation of Lars Wagemans of the Molder brand (‘bierfirma’ Molana); he also happens to be a teacher at the Sint-Paulus school in Mol, and apparently the profits made by selling this beer will be invested in teaching equipment for the school. Like several other ‘bierfirma’s’, beer makers without a brewery, he turned to brand new BeerSelect in Ghent to do the job – I have a feeling this BeerSelect thing may be on to something… Anyway: egg-white, mousy, more or less stable head lacing in dots over a hazy peach blonde beer with pale orange hue. Aroma of smoked fruit (like Alvinne did) rather than actual smoked malts, moist cigarette tobacco, banana, apple sauce, white bread, gin and a strong floral presence of gale (effectively used, and historically a common ingredient in beer). Fruity onset, banana and pineapple esters, hint of ripe pear, fizzy carbonation, smooth bready maltiness with a thin layer of honeyish residual sugar on top, light smoky accent towards the finish but again more smoked fruit-like than the smoked bacon effect I was hoping for. This somewhat weird combo of sweet fruitiness and smokiness dominates the finish, while soft floral-spicy gale returns and a gin-like, eventually somewhat astringent alcohol glow rounds things off. Unusual especially for a classically Belgian-oriented and ‘quiet’ brand like Molder, technically quite well executed like most things that come out of BeerSelect these days, this is a fairly interesting one indeed – and much more a success than Clair de Lune, a similar beer also brewed at BeerSelect, but coming from Mechelen rather than Mol (see that entry for more details).

Aftertaste: bit chemical, yeasty, spicy, sugary, some banana, oxidized, some almonds, Amaretto, unimpressive. Where’s the fire?

The blonde one in this series, from a 33 cl 'trappist' bottle bought at Willems. Thick, frothy, egg-white, irregularly lacing, thinning but generally very stable head, misty peachy 'old gold' robe with a 'fog' of dead yeast floating everywhere. Bit weird, yet not completely unattractive aroma of strong ethereal-spicy bog myrtle, warm apple cake, very strong 'band aid', fried egg, ripe pear, pineapple, sweetbread, honey, raw cinnamon (the bog myrtle again), wet cotton, cheese cake, margarine, boiled chicken, vague vanilla (once more: the bog myrtle). Sweet onset, ripe banana and pineapple mixed with stewed pear, sourish note, lively carb, minerally; slick, lean body. Bread-pulpy and bit honeyish middle with lots of fruity esters hanging around, as well as spicy-ethereal effects from the bog myrtle enhanced by extreme, band aid-like phenols; fleshy protein effects (cooked chicken) as well, blending with a touch of 'rusty' oxidation. Floral effects too, but probably more from the bog myrtle than from hops, as 'end' bitterness remains very soft, if any. Stewed sweet fruit flavours accompany a bready-yeasty, very phenolic, estery finish. Drinkable, well-attenuated, but insufficiently hopped for me personally; with Gageleer and the like in mind, I have nothing against bog myrtle, but in this case less would indeed have been more. Bit too old as well, with just a tad too much of that chicken soup-like, semi-metallic oxidation effect to it. Should revisit this young.
