2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden colored brew. Avarage, dusty, dull triple. Some fruits in the flavor, some spices. Not exciting.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from Noel Cuveliers beer shop with a picture of said shop/farm on the label. Golden Belgian ale. Some yeast hop aroma, some resiny hop with golden syrup mixed in. Residual sweetness on the end but with some good agressive hop to balance it. Touch of peach as well. Overall just a tad sweet and unsophisticated. Lemon citrus is quite nice though
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled. Clear golden,orangey nose. Fairly sweet, but with some resiny hops to balance it. Some creamy maltiness followed by an inky finish. Unrefined and unbalanced.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Pours good dark-blonde copper with a big foamy white head. Taste is dry and sour, not unlike a cider, apple and straw in the background with a yeasty alcoholic finish. Not great.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Dec 2010: This 0.75 litre cork and caged green bottle was purchased at the Noel Cuvelier farm beer shop, which is where it is brewed for and has the rambling farm buildings as the label picture/design. Don’t know if you can buy it anywhere else?
The bottle was poured into four tulip shaped glasses in an almost uninterupted single pour. The first glass had a a clear light blonde coloured body the mini haze started in the second glass, culminating with the sediment filled final glass. Each had a white head at first, none stayed the distance.
Ther smell was of dirty dish clothes and Belgian yeasts.
Taste was more blonde than tripel in all aspects, mouthfeel and aftertaste confirmed my thoughts.
This was part of a big Belgian beer bottle night with three friends, this bottle didn’t cost much: and you could tell!
