Description
The farm was built in 1669 by abbess Johanna van Tilborch. The family escutcheon of the abbess is still hanging above the gate of the old farm. In 1936, the farm was bought by Theophile Cordonnier (1880 – 1965) together with the agriculture ground and the rest of the abbey. In 1985 was a new farm build opposite of the old farm. All the ground and buildings are still belonging to the children and grandchildren of Theophile Cordonnier.

All the basic products to produce the Halen Mariënrode abbey beers are still produced on the Mariënrode farm. Joseph Cordonnier ( born in 1932) is still in charge of the production of our products. He will be only satisfied when we produce the products of the highest quality. Quality has always been his only objective in the production of food on the farm.

5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Imported from my RateBeer account as Halen Mariënrode Tripel (by Brouwerij Anders!):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 10/20, MyTotalScore: 2.7/5

14/VIII/13 - 33cl bottle @ Streekbierenfestival Zwevegem - BB: n/a (2013-650) Thanks to Domien for sharing today's beers.

Cloudy orange beer, nice creamy irregular off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet and sugary, some banan, orange peel, hint of sweet lychee. MF: lots of carbon, too much to be good, medium body. Taste: pretty sharp sourish start, way too much orange peel, bitter marmalade, sourish, bit lemony, lots of alcohol noticeable. Aftertaste: sour, cloves, unpleasant bitterness, lots of marmalade, and not sure, bit is that coriander? If it is, it's too much.

14/VIII/13 - 33cl bottle @ Streekbierenfestival Zwevegem - BB: n/a (2013-649) Thanks to Domien for sharing today's beers.

Clear dark brown beer, creamy beige head, pretty stable, adhesive. Aroma: sweet, bit smoky, aniseed, caramel, hint of mocha, some sulfur. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: caramel in the start, some chocolate, pretty fast you get an unpleasant soft of metallic bitterness and overripe banana. Aftertaste: dark chocolate, banana peel, bitter hops, quite some citrus (from the carbon?).
