30 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Coop Culemborg. Hazy dark orange with a white head. Banana and malt aroma. Sweet taste with a sweet finish. First sip was horrible, old fashioned sweet unfermented malt drink but it gradually became better; ending in a nice sweet finish.

Bottled, thx Hrabren and his Dutch friends. Misty brownish-amber body, off-white, thick head. Interesting aroma, woody, dill almost, coconut, some fruity estery touches underneath. Sweetish taste, malty, wheaty, minty-herbal, bit citric, tangerine notes. Not that bad really!

Bottle 30cl. from a local AH supermarket @home poured into a footed pilsner glass. Creamy kinda artificial nose. Cloudy pale amber colour, good frothy white head, good retention, light lacing. Aroma sweet malts, caramel, yeast, light wort, straw. Taste above medium sweet and slightly bitter, malty, grain, some wort, caramel. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation, thin sweetbitter aftertaste, sugary notes, for a 0.0 not bad but a far cry from the real Skuumkoppe, drinkable.

30cl Fles van AH. Troebel licht-amber kleur, witte kraag. Wat caramel, tarwe, wat banaan, wort, redelijk zoet maar niet heel storend voor mij, ruikt en proeft als een NA (Dunkel)weizen, missie geslaagd dus. Lichte body, hint van aluminium. Niet onaangenaam.

Donkergeel bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en vrij zoet fruitig met iets van citrus, abrikoos en wat sinaasappel. Een heel degelijke IPA.

Troebel geel bier met schuim. Smaak is fruitig fris, licht zuur wat voor een echte Hefeweizen vrij uniek is, met iets van citrus en een vleug banaan. Is best OK.

The tripel in this Texels series, originating from the Wadden island of Texel and at least partially produced there, but since 2020 in the clutches of Heineken and considering their beers were not all that great before that, it should not surprise anyone that quality has only declined since then. Bottle from an Albert Heijn supermarket. Medium thick and thinning, breaking, eggshell-white, tiny-bubbled, membrane-lacing head, the remains of which rest stable on a misty apricot blonde beer with pale orangey tinge - and a haze of tiny dead yeast bits throughout, usually a bad sign. Weak aroma of dried peach, banana, soggy sandwiches, rainwater, calvados, hints of clove, faint pineapple ester, leftover dough, raw sweet potato, field flowers, honey, candy apple. Sweetish, fruity onset, banana and pineapple mingled with peach, minerally carbonation, soft but - for ABV - remarkably thin body; brioche-bready and cereally maltiness, sweetish with some residual sugars on top but nowhere overly sweet, working to a spicy finish with pronounced clove-like phenols and coriander seed notes, alongside a somewhat earthy, peppery hop bitter aspect which lingers for a while without overtaking the initial sweetness. As is all too often the case with these cheap 'macro tripels' (see my previous rating), the alcohol is again badly hidden and provides an unpleasant wodka-like astringency in the end, overruling the bitterness of the hops; traces of sweet (candied) yellow fruit do remain present at that stage. Thin, boozy, simple tripel, but at least it is refermented in the bottle and shows a somewhat more 'layered' maltiness and balancing hop bitterness than that awful St. Pierre Tripel I had before this one. Passes, but barely.
