Commissioned Montoise tripel with sober and very old-fashioned label, brewed at Binchoise. Medium thick, egg-white, densely creamy, regular and stable head over a misty straw blonde beer with pale yellow hue, containing a 'soup' of translucent yeast dots, shifting to an equal, more ochre-ish cloudiness with sediment. Aroma of very strong isoamylacetate (banana ester), reminiscent of banana milkshake and banana-flavoured bubblegum, next to hints of powder sugar, candy apple, freshly baked sweetbread, ripe pear, canned pineapple slices, industrial honey, hints of lemon curd, margarine, coriander, baking soda, camomile, white pepper, brown banana peel, withering cut flowers, wodka, wood sorrel leaves, potato mash and, alas, a whiff of DMS, initially hidden in the background but more pronounced as it warms up, halting my enjoyment. Spritzy onset, sharply carbonated with souring and numbing effects but still very strong in the bubblegum-banana ester factor adding sweetness, next to additional estery hints of ripe pear, pineapple and yellow plum as well as green apple acetaldehyde; the overcarbonation coarsens an otherwise smooth, fluffy mouthfeel established by bready malt sweetness (white bread dough) with white candi syrup sweetishness on top. Growing spiciness in the finish, phenolic (cloves) but coriandered and a bit soapy as well, before a deeply situated, earthy, floral hop bitterish touch appears; spiciness is enhanced by a peppery, warming but not overly wry, wodka-like alcohol effect. Bready and banana estery sweetness linger along with this peppery effect. Your classic Belgian sweet tripel, as classic as it gets really, with a truckload of banana ester and some unnecessary but to me non-offensive acetaldehyde; alcohol is palpable and balances on the edge of astringency, so could probably have been hidden a bit better. Too bad for the DMS as well, I passionately hate it - and it seems to pop up in one out of every three Belgian ales I taste. How is it possible that all these brewers do not notice it themselves?

Pours clear blonde, white, rather unstable white head. High visual carbonation. Smell is bit herbal hops, rather intense maltyness ( complex, tad sugary, some pale malts ( white bread) mild biscuity ) Mild esthers and phenols. Medium-low intensity overall. Taste is rather bitter at first, fades away to a phenolic, pale maly ( aromatic maltyness ) triple-like profile. very highly carbonated. mild dryness ( some Sugar, some actual dryness from fermentation as well I supose ) Overall, a pretty good, in style Belgian Golden Strong Ale. Bit of a safe style, perhaps, but well made within that very style.

Five-hops and five-grains Belgian blonde, 75 cl bottle shared with Goedele, Jan and Tessa. Tightly membrane-lacing, egg-white; thick and moussy, stable head over a hazy peach blonde beer with olive greenish tinge. Aroma of banana, apricots, powder sugar, meringue, coriander seed, rye bread, green pear, apple peel, grass, baker's yeast and a touch of DMS. Banana-estery sweetish onset, hints of pear and pineapple with a light green apple touch (acetaldehyde); medium carbo, smooth and supple mouthfeel. Soft bready and cereally, bit grainy and soapy (wheaty) body with a dash of sourish-grainy spelt noticeable, leading to a dryish finsih with some phenolic (and coriander) spiciness, bready yeastiness in the end and floral, tad grassy hop bitterishness - but far from the glorification of hops suggested by the label. The Palissade in particular should and could have been much more outspoken in order to lift this beer out of the vast pool of mediocre Belgian blondes - feels like a missed opportunity. Decent enough, but far from exciting.

Pours clear blonde. very unstable, small to medium sized white head fades instantly. Smell is malty, some DMS notes. very grainy. mild earthy, spiced hoppy touch. some banana, cloves ( peppery ) more in the background. Taste is sharp, malty, very grainy, bit unfresh-like maltyness thouch ( not problematic yet ) Mild DMS notes. Bit spicy hoppyness. ends rather dry ( dry is the overall impression of the beers, tho some Sugar notes can be perceived, the beer isn't really sweet ) medium esthers and phenols for the style. Carbonation is to the high side ( as is correct in style ) . OK.

33cl en bouteille. Orangée, col crémeux beige. Arôme est houblonné vert, pointe noble au rétro grains de plus typiques. Palais à l’effervescence moyenne voire haute, malt pils, pâle de base pour un fini épicé de la levure. Impression de mousse de sous-bois, léger ester et petite douceur en fin de bouche pour une bière qui semble goûter une base de Binchoise. On s’emmerde, rien niveau complexité, du vu et déjà vu ... qui en dit long sur Mons2015.

Pours hazy whitish golden, with a pure white thick head. Low intensity aromas: tropical fruit, orange zest, dandelion, raw yolk. Soft, quite tasteless and watery.
