En tulipa, color rubio anaranjado , turbia, con partículas de levadura en suspensión, corona blanca de espuma persistente. Aroma a levadura, malta, pan blanco, cereal, repostería, naranja madura, especias. Entrada en boca muy fina, con notas de fruta, malta y levadura. Segundo trago con ligero amargor y notas cítricas, cierta acidez, bien redondeada, retrogusto ligeramente amargo, cítrico y especiado, ligero toque floral. Una tripel muy disfrutable.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma of wheat, Belgium yeast and flowers with a hint of citric fruit. Taste is sweet, still quite refreshing, light malty, yeast, hint of honey and flowers low to no bitterness. Medium body with same aftertaste. Nothing special, but an easy drinkable, quite typical Belgium blond.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Slight gusher. Pours a hazy golden colour with a medium sized creamy white head. Smell has stoney fruits and nutty aromas. Taste is quite unusual with some yellow fruits, floral notes, peppery spice and a light earthy hop. Dry sweetish finish. Full bodied with average carbonation. A slightly different type of Tripel but fairly decent.

Lichtgeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is heel licht zurig met iets van citrus en wat appel. Valt me zwaar tegen.

Bouteille 33cl, merci Tim. BB 15/06/2024.
Couleur pâle sur un col blanc moyen qui se tient bien.
Arôme est frais avec un bouquet oscillant sur le fleuri, dont fleur d'oranger avec un parfum d'agrumes - mandarine. Le tout relevé par un bouquet de céréales dont le froment ainsi qu'un houblonné noble.
Palais reste sur une approche classique de blanche, le tout reste cepedant bien rendu avec un caractère fruité de zeste d'orange voire de mandarine qui est assez agréable et vient apporter une bonne fraicheur en bouche.
