About
Arthur Van den Bossche founded the brewery in 1897. After his death in 1925, Elenora Callebaut, Arthur's wife and daughter of the Callebaut brewers and chocolatiers family, continued the brewery. In 1935 Willy and Mark Van den Bossche, the 2nd generation, take the helm and further expand the brewery. Ignace son of Mark Van den Bossche, 3rd generation, becomes active in the brewery in 1976. In 2015 Bruno Van den Bossche takes over the brewery from his father. The 4th generation is now taking the lead.

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.

8/IV/23 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ holiday home (France), BB: 15/VI/24 (2023-306)

Clear pale yellow beer, big aery fizzy irregular white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: a rather watery impression, a little spicy, herbal touch, a bit malty. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: a little bitter up front, grains, hay, a bit metallic, spicy, some coriander, yeasty touch. Aftertaste: some banana, bitter, grassy, a bit watery, spicy touch, more yeast, grains, hay, gentle acidity. Not a real witbier if you ask me...

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy golden colour with a large thick foamy white head. Aromas of yellow fruits, bananas, pear drops and candied sugar. Taste is different from the aroma and is fairly sweet with sherbet orange. Medium to full body with low carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Not the typical type of Tripel but fairly unique and decent enough.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, chestnut colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Toasty, minimally nutty, dark malty and yeasty spicy aroma, hints of Brazil nut, chestnut, a minimally waxy touch. Taste is dry, toasty, dark malty, slightly nutty, very subtle residual sweetness, a yeasty fruity touch, a yeasty spicy touch as well, weak hints of red berries, nougat, some leafy hop; a minimally waxy touch in the finish. Watery texture, smooth and slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Not overly complex, a tad monotonous - OK.

33cl bottle: BB 4th May 2024. Poured into a 2000 vintage Duvel glass at home on 19th February 2023. My 1,000 Belgian rate on this site (as if anyone actually cares).Bright golden orange with a full on white head, plenty of carbonation bubbles rising through the brew. Malty and a pretty sweet Tripel with a slight 'orange' flavour. The 8% ABV there for all the feel.

33cl bottle: BB 13th October 2023. Poured into an old Chimay chalice at home on 14th February 2023. Deep ruby red/brown, soft tanned head. It's sweet and malty, a bit 'thin' body and flavour wise really. Head fell away to a wisp and collar very quickly too. Not overly impressed to be honest.
