33cl, thx to Jerre!, not complex brew, yet balanced, hazy, rocky head, nice brew

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!

Gusher! Huge white head - six inches - with about an inch and a half of straw colored beer beneath. Big lacing. Brett aroma with citrus and malt aroma. Same in the taste with a nice corky earthiness. Mellow and sweet. Pretty good.

Light hazy blond coloured beer with a medium white head. Refreshing fruity with hints of yeasts. Medium to full palate. Finish is full butter, short yeasty, rather fruity. Not bad.

Hazy blond coloured beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Sweet fruity aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is sweet spicy ending only slightly bitter dry.

Good tripel beer. Loved sharing it with friends on a breezy summer’s evening.

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.

Bottle at Papsø’s - Thanks. Cloudy yellow - white head. Fruity, wheaty, dryness, licorice - yeasty, honey, light sweet notes, herbal, spicy.

Cloudy golden with a medium off white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity and malty notes. Sweet flavour with yeast, ripe fruits and malty notes. Finished dry.
