33 cl bottle from dranken Geers in Oostakker. Amber body with a small off-white head. Medium carbonation. Aroma is medium roasted malts and yeast. Taste is sweet caramel, Yeast and alcohol. **

Clear orange colour, heavy carbonation, big frothy head. Aroma is somewhat orangy, and grassy, already smells like its going to be dry. Peachy orangy, very malty flavours.

Bottle. Amber with a firm white head. Aroma of malt, dried fruit, honey, some alcohol and some yeast. About the same in the taste. Medium mouthfeel and a nicely drinkable beer.

Hazy darkish amber beer, small off white head. Semi dry palate. Sweet malt - typically tripel. Trace of spice. Dry finish. Lacking something and a bit dry.

Bottle, 33 cl, bbd 0912. Light hazy golden amber with a decent creamy off-white head. Tart fruity, bretty nose, barnyard. Medium body, sweet fruity caramel, tart light berries and ripe banana with a dry hoppy finish. Not your average take on a Tripel, but somehow intriguing.

33cl bottles - Caution: foam explosion, how ever long you let this one sit! Very lively carbo & head, pours a cloudy greenish-yellow, aroma of grassy apple hops, nice dry taste with some saison dry acidity and triple yeasty fruitiness blending into each other. Bit problematic, but tasty and interesting.

Gusher. A hazed amber ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, smooth fruity malt with nice Brett notes, musty and nice. In mouth, a nice crisp herbal malt with loads of Brett, Orval like, dry and grassy, well made. BB Dec 2012.

75 cl bottle @ home, BBE 02/2014
Aroma is stale with toffee, some lemon, earthy notes and hints of spices. Flavour is spicy with some soapy citrus, orange and earthy notes. Rather malty and stuffy for a tripel. Decent.

750 ml bottle.
Pours a hazy, murky amber orange colour with a large foamy head. Aroma of really strong sweet berries and mango kissel. Flavour of sweet malts, English toffee, sweet berries and mango kissel again. Some weak herbal notes as well. High viscosity. Alcohol comes through a bit. Finishes sweet and fruity, also slightly malty. Tripel? No way in hell.

75 cl bottle. BBE 02/2014.
Pours murky copper color with a medium-sized head. Aroma of yeast, spices, rose hip, mild caramel malts, barnyard notes and some fruits. Flavor of toffee, rose hip, spices, fruits, malts and goose berries. Thick, sourish palate.
