Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

The Belgian province of Liège has countless microbreweries and gypsy brewers these days, but among the most (commercially) successful is certainly Léopold 7, located in Couthuin in the southwesternmost part of the province. This is their tripel (triple), containing malted wheat but no additional sugars (white candi sugar syrup) and named after the Haspengouw region, encompassing parts of Limburg, Vlaams-Brabant and several Walloon provinces, known for its gentle slopes and its fruit cultivation. Bottle from the Carrefour hypermarket in Sint-Denijs-Westrem. Very thick and bath-foamy, egg-white, busily shred-lacing, cauliflower-shaped rocky, utterly stable and dense, firm head, misty yellow-hued straw blonde robe, turning cloudy and more apricot-tinged with sediment. Aroma of apple sauce, ripe banana, apricot jam, honey, chewing gum, green kiwi, strawbales, Conference pear, croissant dough, iron, freshly cut grass, hints of stewed Florence fennel, dry earth, parsnip, dried mandarin peel and young 'graanjenever'. Crisp, fruity onset, sweetish with pronounced isoamylacetate (banana) even though I had worse, pear, vague ripe apricot, light sourish touch, sharp and very minerally carbonation; slick, lean body, marred by this stinging carb, but smooth-edged with a pale malt sweetish middle, white-bready and a bit doughy with lingering unfermented, honeyish sugars on top (too much so to my personal liking). Clove- and fennel-like phenols here and there get paired with a floral, grassy and somewhat earthy hoppiness, adding a bitter streak to an otherwise annoyingly sweet finish. Warming, gin-like alcohol also plays in the end, becoming just a bit too obvious for me - an alcohol flavour sweetly but dastardly takes over in the final stage. If this is dry-hopped like the brewery claims, then I would say it is a pity for the hops, because there are not nearly enough hop aromas here as there could have been (even without entering 'Belgian IPA' territory); apart from that, the flavours are boringly sweet and banana-like, with not much complexity to back up for it. The umpteenth sweet, boozy tripel to please the masses - Belgian brewers ought to be forbidden to keep following this worn-out, decades-old, conservative formula. This kind of beers add absolutely nothing to what has been done a thousand times before, even with the dry-hopping (which I have seen done a lot better in several other tripels) and without the white candi sugar. Not my cup of tea.
