Bottle from Carrefour, Sint-Kruis. Pours hazy ochre with an unstable, thinning, frothy, white head. Aroma of ripe orange, apricot, pineapple slice, banana peel, coriander, kitchen herbs, perfume, soap. Taste is medium fruity sweet, quite perfumey still, ripe orange & pineapple, estery banana on top of a honeyish, bready malty base with a dash of white sugar; sourish touch of wheat in the light spicy bitter middle, notes of 'generic' herbs, coriander & grass. Dryish, floral & earthy hoppy finish, lingering coriander, ripe fruit, honey, a tad metallic which gives rise to a more bittering effect. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Bit of a mess all in all, too much perfume and not well-balanced.

The starting point of the Bryggja project, the beer they won a hobby brewing contest with in 2012, enabling them to expand and start their own brewery. Tripel in a steinie bottle with Bruges' Halletoren on the front label - this is as Belgian as it gets. Thick, very frothy, tightly membrane-lacing, beaten egg-white, dense and stable head resting on top of a clouded, warm and deep peach blonde beer with yolk-yellowish edges. Very yeasty-fruity and malty aroma, ripe peach, ripe banana, orange peel, honey, freshly cut pear, bread crust, phenolic spiciness, dough, moist white pepper, dusty and soapy coriander seed, fresh camomile, hints of grated ginger, calvados, carrot cake, whipped cream, freshly cut 'witloof'. Very fruity onset, lots of banana but matching with equally strong pineapple, peach and pear impressions, sweetish with a sourish edge, lively but refined and in that sense 'soft' carbonation, full and fluffy mouthfeel, doughy malt base, brioche bread and bread pulp, with ongoing fruitiness and upcoming, dusty-spicy and soapy coriander seed, shifting to an elegantly floral hop bitterness with a more 'deep' and rooty tail in the end, and a gently warming, calvados-tinged finish in which the 'fresh' fruitiness, spicy phenols and soft, fluffy malt and yeast breadiness linger. The sweeter side of tripel but not too sweet, completely predictable in its fruity yeastiness, warming alcoholic finish and use of coriander, but in its segment far from the worst I had - reminds me a bit of Chimay Triple and that cannot be a bad thing. Technically completely flawless, ticking all the boxes of the style and quite refreshing, while warming at the same time: this is a good tripel, whether you like tripels or not.

2nd Feb 2019, Brugge Bier Festival. Misty brown/deep amber, the head a fast fading off-white affair. Malty aroma with a hint of Whisky and wood. taste also malty sweet again with a touch of Whisky and wood within the flavours. Boozy and a little too sweet, my sweet tooth loved it though!

Thanks for sharing tderoeck! Sampled draft @ Bierfestival Brugge 2019. Dark brown, lacing little mocha head.

Clear dark brown beer, creamy irregular beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: Very unpleasant, smells dirty, yeasty, autolyse?, something rotten. Gets better when left to stand for a while, getting more spices, liquorish, dried fruits, caramel, soft roast. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: soft roast up front, weird soapy flavour, more roast, grains, cow fodder, pretty bitter. Aftertaste: bit soapy, metallic, unpleasant, ver roasted, bit chemical, very bitter and dry finish.
