11/IV/23 - 33cl bottle @ La Gare aux Saveurs (Beaulieu, FR), BB: 6/III/25, lot: 220910 (2023-317)
Paired with steak and fries.
Clear blond to light orange beer, big solid creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, some tropical fruits, a bit yeasty, pretty floral, a little off. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: a little sweet first, pretty fruity, hoppy bitterness, sweet malts, a bit sugary. Aftertaste: more citrus notes, good bitterness, fruity, pleasant Belgian yeast character without being too dominating. Nice modern tripel, probably with some new world hops!

Bottle, very big head on a bright ale golden beer. Plastic garbage bags, soft doughy, citrus zest, clove oil, dead yeast. Something is very off in the yeast here… Light sweet, sour and bitter. Something went wrong here.
