(Bottle, Bier Circus, Brussels, 19 Oct 2022) Pale amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried apricots, orange peel and spices. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, apricots, orange peel, marzipan, rye bread and a balanced spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well made tripel. Very nice.

A light haze on this rich gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth and semi dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a little creamy sweetness. Some Belgian spicy yeast in the mid. The red wine barrel is nicely done. Vanilla oak pairs well with the malts and the red wine is both mellow and rich. Light semi dry finish. I was a bit underwhelmed to start with but this one gradually seduced, it's a mellow tripel with rounded barrelling and it goes down easy.

It’s always a good day when I get to sample a quadrupel. This one came from Belgian’s Finest some months ago. My Straffe Hendrik large tulip glass is ready to receive the pour, dark mahogany in color with a glorious, creamy top of yellow-tan, finely bubbled foam. I smell dates, cherries, yeast and grain. A drink ultimately, even better than the nose. Fruit cake, figs, black raisins, a touch of chocolate, yeast, sweet cherries and malt. Thick and rich. Bottle conditioned, it appears, judging by the final pour, I like that. This beer represents the style quite well.

One of several beers in this series, developed by a Brussels 'bierfirma' (Gansbeek Brewing Co.) and brewed at De Meester. Thick, eggshell-white, quite large- and uneven-bubbled but very stable, irregularly but tightly lacing head sustained by fierce sparkling rushing upwards through a lightly hazed, deep and pure golden blonde beer with 'metallic' ochre-ish tinge. Quite strong aroma of coriander seed, dried out white bread, old lemon zest, honey, a touch of ripe melon, damp straw, dried lemongrass or even kumquat, dust, earth, dried grapefruit peel, dried bitter weeds, jute bags, whiff of white soap and a late but unexpected sweaty note. Fruity, spritzy onset, very minerally, stinging carbonation, notes of green apple, unripe peach and vague banana, smooth body with clear wheat soapiness and sourishness, bready core with a nice bread-crumb-like effect in its tail. Ends spicy, with the eternal coriander seed adding more soapiness but also something 'dusty', while dried citrus peel - that other obligatory witbier flavouring - is also clearly shown, seemingly even adding to the bitterness that lingers on the root of the tongue, as in grapefruit peel bitterness - but also an earthy, peppery hop bitterness, very unusual in a Belgian wheat ale (or at least the traditionally designed ones). Maybe the Brussels' nouvelle vague of craft brewers, pioneered by Senne and BBP, has influenced this one and made it more hop-forward - but it's just this surprising hop bitterness that kind of turned things in a whole other direction here, making it quite original when compared with the legions of 'standardized' witbieren that have been made in the wake of old Hoegaarden. Now that I come to think of it, most of the Belgian witbieren (or, more generally put, 'tarwebieren') I had so far, were hoppier ones, and this one certainly belongs in that department. Better than expected, to be honest.
