At Single Trip Tasing. "Tom Pale Ale" hopped with Aramis - but who is Tom? Anyway: thick and frothy, egg-white, moussy, lacing head over a hazy straw-golden blonde beer with strings of fierce, visible fizz. Aroma of dried banana, old bread, green beans, paper, old lemon zest, dust, straw, soap, iron shavings, minerals, fried parsley. Dryish, restrainedly fruity onset, hint of green banana, unripe pear perhaps, minerally, vivid carbonation; grainy, lightly bread crust-like malty middle, floral and tad earthy hoppy finish, bit herbal but more grassy, graininess remaining alongside a well-measured hop bitter note. Belgian blonde was originally conceived as a top-fermenting rival to the omnipresent standard pale lager, and this achieves just that: more lager-like than usual in its grainy and only very restrainedly sweet character, quite refreshing and flawless, but not very exciting either.

Fluffy beige head soon left a covering on a dark marmalade coloured, still body. Sweet spiced orange & Belgian yeast aroma. Medium bodied. No carbonation. Sticky & cloying - Not a lot going for this one. Sweet sickly tastes of orange, spice & jam.

Cette triple me laisse perplexe. D’abord dans sa structure imparfaite avec la présence d’une légère acidité la déstabilisant, mais surtout pas ses arômes très spécifiques provenant très certainement du choix des houblons parmi lesquels il doit y avoir, je présume, du Nelson Sauvin. Personnellement je n’accroche pas réellement. En verre, nous sommes sur un blond doré limpide (EBC aux alentours de 23) avec une mousse blanche de 1 mm nappant tout juste la surface. Le nez est spécial, sur des arômes fermentés, de fruits (banane et pêche), de caramel, de céréales et présente une touche acide. A la dégustation, l’attaque reprend cette acidité, sur les céréales, les épices (notamment coriandre) et toujours avec cette amertume très spécifique. La deuxième bouche est moins équilibrée sur le caramel et le biscuit et toujours cette acidité résiduelle. L’arrière bouche est quant à elle sur une amertume déséquilibrée par l’acidité sur des arômes fruités. La troisième bouche est plus intéressante, sur un bon équilibre malt/houblon et avec un alcool qui se fait davantage ressentir. Le final, moyennement laisse l’alcool s’exprimer en complément de notes épicées. L’alcool et le sucre sont quant à eux bien dosés et intégrés. Perplexe...je reste perplexe. Si quelqu’un connait les houblons utilisés, je suis preneur.

Bottle from De Hopduvel. Hazy yellow colour, white foam. Nose of citrus and caramel. Very sweet taste, very sugary tripel. Notes of banana also. Not very well balanced.

Thx! to kraddel. 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG V. BBF 11.2016. Dark brown, little tanned head. Nose is sweet mocha, leaves, licorice, heavy sweet herbal with thick licorice,… Smell is better than the taste. Very fizzy beer, boozy as well, harshly plastic, burned plastic, burned barrel, roast, charcoal, fizzy herbal,… Not a fan.

Sampled @ Ratebeer Belgian Summer Gathering 2016. Murky red brownish color, average sized beige head. Not a lot of aroma. Flavor is malts, lightly dark malts, some bitter, a bit annoying carbonation. Hmm ok, decent body, decent enough overall.
