0.33 bottle from Hops beer shop, Trieste. Murky yellow to pale orange with medium creamy white head. Saison-like aroma, lemon, not what I expected. Herbal, dry, not usual for a Trappist. Alcohol present. Dry finish. Strange. Another shared with Marko and Ogi. This is not yeast, but eucalyptus and mint aroma. Tart, funky and refreshing. Medium to full body, medium carbonation, lingering herbal finish. Still unusual but interesting.

Eucalyptus smaakt heel fel door. Cor de rest, tja er zijn betere.

0,33 bottle purchased at the Monastery together with luttonm, consumed in Kosovo. Pours a a cloudy dark golden color, huge white foam with decent retention. Nose: an absolute blast of eucalyptus which goes ok with the tripel style. A hidden note of spicy yeast and some jasmine as well. Mouth: I am under the feeling that something has changed since I have drunk it the first time over a year ago. It is more refined, for sure: medium carbonation, confusing bitterness (the leafs infusion might have caused this rough feel), far from being my cup of tea.

Bottle from tderoeck. Many thanks! Golden colour, a lot of white foam. Medium carbonation. Nose of herbal sweets. Very sweet nose of eucalyptus. Taste of cough syrup. Bitter finish. Unbalanced. Interesting but not my cup of tea.

The newest trappist beer, officially called Tre Fontane Tripel Birra Trappista Italiana since it received formal recognition as a trappist ale last month; got to taste this thanks to the efforts of Kevin De Rouck, who runs the Cultuurcafé in Berlare. Thick, dense and creamy, regularly structured, snow white head over a misty peach blonde robe, muddy with deposit. Aroma has a lot of eucalyptus indeed, a shrub cultivated by these monks since the 19th century; apart from this, I get hints of banana, apricot, white bread, mint, cinnamon, bitter honey, vanilla sugar and a whiff of grass. Sweetish, soft fruity onset, pineapple, banana and red apple, soft carbonation, ’fluffy’ and filling body, honeyish and bready malt sweetness, bit yeasty in the finish especially after adding the deposit, hint of ’deep’ leafy hop bitterishness with strong retronasal ’ethereal’ eucalyptus effect, also manifesting itself as a somewhat resinous, even slightly astringent feeling in the finish, adding spicy bitterness to the whole. Spice tripel in the Belgian tradition (not quite unlike Kempisch Vuur Tripel or even De Graal Gember), very decent and technically correct, but in order to become as great as the classic Belgian trappists, it needs a bit more subtlety and balance. Too generous in the spice (eucalyptus) department for my personal taste, but still on a very solid basis. Interesting.

Very herbal
