Bottle shared by Niels. A bit hazy dark golden color, medium sized beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, quite herbal, light tea and malty bitter. Pretty decent for 6% ABV.

Barrel aged blonde ale (rather than a 'tripel' at a mere 6% ABV!) from a Dutch brewer apparently operating in Spain (Valencia region); from a quite distinctly shaped bottle reminiscent of some mediterranean oil of some kind. Thanks to Craftmember for sharing. Very thick and foamy, rocky, deeply egg-white, plaster-like lacing, stable head on a misty warm orange blonde beer with deep peachy hue. Aroma of raw parsnip and fennel, unripe peach, waxed oak furniture, even painted wooden boards, clove, hard pear, green banana, minerals. Fruity onset but restrained in sweetness, some green pear and unripe peach notes, very sharply 'over'carbonated but still maintaining a somewhat fluffy, smooth mouthfeel; bready and cereally maltiness with this aromatically raw vegetable-like aspect returning (again: raw fennel and raw parsnip), touch of clove, going into a deep, long, leafy hop bitterness - but also, and I think this can come only from the wood, a strong aspect of furniture wax or even floor polish, ruining the whole thing. Quite bland, simple, overcarbonated but admittedly well-hopped blonde marred by inappropriate use of wood ageing - it almost seems as if this has aged on heavily treated, painted and / or polished wood... Weird, a bit wry - something is definitely off here, something I find hard to put my finger on. If my suspicion is right, then the base beer, though probably also sharply overcarbonated, is probably a lot better...

Ruikt naar vochtige kelder, schimmel, juten zak. Smaakt zoet, weeig, bitter en nat, rot hout. Geen succes.

Hazy straw blond with big foaming head. Aroma has mandarin segments and coriander seeds. Lively carbonation. Flavour has delicate floral and citrus notes up front. The finish is quite bitter which adds to the overall balance.

Hoppig ja, maar wel een hoppig blond meer. En veel koolzuur, droog uitvergist.
