Cette Betsy est plutôt une triple agréable qui se laisse très bien boire. En tout cas j'ai été agréablement surpris même si elle possède quelques limites. En verre nous sommes sur un blond parfaitement limpide avec une effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche nappant la surface. Le nez est bien pour une triple avec des arômes de blé, coriandre, citron et banane. En bouche l'équilibre n'est pas trop mal, même si l'alcool manque un peu de puissance par rapport à un sucre légèrement trop poussé. C'est l'impression de douceur qui domine. L'attaque présente toutefois un bon dynamisme. La deuxième pareillement mais l'ensemble manque quelque peu de profondeur. Corpulence et longueur sont moyennes mais la triple reste agréable en bouche. Très honorable.

Explosive gushing to small glass of amber-purplish brown beer and a small(!) cream head. Chocolate, dark green leaves, wood. Sweeter chocolate, liquorice, fake milkchocolate à la Cadbury's , if slightly less sweet. Finish sports a nasty, harsh vegetable bitter. Medium bodied at least, overcarbonated (putting it mildly), very slick to viscous. Not what it ought to be. Thanks to Barbara & Tim!

Medium, if fast gone whitish head over deep golden beer, well-carbonated. Rainwater, silt, even a bit mineral. Whiff of vanilla, pale malts, pineapple ester. Again pineapple - both the sweet and the sour; pickles (if faint), slightly oxydized malts, other grains. Co-taster mentions medicinal flavour. Light impression, if possibly rather medium bodied; finish releases a lightly burning feel. Betsy don't impress me much. Dank aan Barbara & Tim!
