Bottle. Pours rather clear blonde, small white head. Smell is bit malty, but not really intense nor complex. Taste is sweet, malty ( mild metallic notes towards the back ) as well as a certain hoppyness. Buttery undertone which doesn’t seem quite right. The taste itself is absolutely not ’fresh’ and what we cal ’wrang’ in dutch. Not that good, I even think something went a bit wrong in this batch, due to the buttery undertone which strongly reminds me of dyacethyl ...

Flesje thuis gedronken. Donkerbruin bier met matig schuim. Aroma heeft iets van pruim / perzik. De smaak is hoppig en fruitig. De licht bittere smaak blijft even hangen. Lekker bier om rustig van te genieten.

Golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have lots of grain and floral notes. Flavour also has a reasonable level of hop dryness too.

Bottle from Prik & Tik in Zele with different label than shown here, mentioning it is actually brewed at Silly for Prik & Tik Lommel by the guys from Lommel Brouwt. The name is actually the scientific name of the pedunculate oak which may be a bit misleading as this is not oak aged and I fail to see any other possible connection with this tree whatsoever. Thinnish, lightly lacing, moussy, egg-white, quickly dissipating and eventually disappearing head over a pretty deep yellow golden beer with ’old gold’ hue and vivid sparkling, clear initially but turning lightly hazy with deposit added. Quite strong bouquet of sour apple, banana peel, ripe plum, candied lemon, dry white wine or grape peel, tulip, some dry earth, touch of bitter herbs, toasted white bread, white pepper, some subtle varnish-like solvents, ’jenever’, vanilla, grass. Crisp, fruity, lightly estery onset, lots of gooseberry, green apple and unripe banana, sweetish and sourish well in balance with each other, rather soft carbo in spite of the visible fizz, supple, smooth mouthfeel, nice spicy yeasty notes, pleasantly bready and very lightly caramelly middle, drying finish with earthy, grassy and peppery hop bitterishness yielding floral notes retronasally, juicy maltiness and a relatively strong, yet non-astringent glow of warming, gin-like alcohol in the end. Nothing out of the ordinary, another cliché tripel or perhaps more an ’edelbier’, but technically correct, pleasantly bready and fulfilling with a very good balance of sweet and bitter and nicely lingering hop bitterness. I like this, just too bad for the lack of head retention.

Slightly hazy pale amber colour, large frothy off-white head, recedes quickly, nice lacing. Sweet fruity aroma, peach, pear, herbal notes, floral. Taste medium sweet and bitter, fruity. Medium body, oily to creamy texture, average carbonation, develops more bitterness in the aftertaste but fruity and herbal elements linger on, in the finish quite dry and a bit spicy, very nice, I like it.
