Alvinne Tripel

In short: A weird, overly yeasty strong Belgian golden ale with too much overripe rotting fruits. Really off.
How: Bottle 330ml, consumed fresh soon after receiving it through private importations
The look: Cloudy dirty orange body with many small particles. Small white head
In long: Nose of overripe tropical fruits. Taste of overripe peaches, red and green apples and a little vanilla ice-cream, ripe pineapples. Together the malts & yeast also have a wet-cereals feeling, like basic breakfast cereals that got too much humidity and got all mushy. That gives the beer a very chewy/doughy sensation. Spicy herbal hops provide a little dryness and a much welcomed distraction. I had two bottles of this thing. I thought there was something wrong with the first bottle. Waited a few months and drank the other bottle. Same mess. As messy as a soup sandwich.

Bottle. Sharp apricot and alcohol aroma. Cloudy orange-yellow color with giant white head. Sweet apricot, sharp alcohol, and bitter hops flavor - pretty evenly blended. Nice beer but pretty much a standard tripel with nothing to set it apart from other Belgian tripels.

Bottle. Gold with white head. Slightly buttery tasting. Alcohol is certainly detectable. Sweet, fruity, some vanilla, some orange. Something about it just didn’t sit right with me.

Bottle tasting @ Alvinne. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy head (others poured with no head at all but tasted similarly). Rather sweet tripel, vanilla upfront. Hops follow up and deliver a nice bitter punch. Long lasting finish but not overly complex.

Bottle. Cloudy golden brown beer with a strong white head. The aroma is deeply spiced and vinous, and the flavour strongly bitter, spiced and vinous. Overall a nice Belgian beer.

Tap @ Erasmus ... hazy yellow .orange ... big foam head ... yeasty fruity dry hop nose ... bitter linger ... quite dry ... some orange ... some candi suger ... grew on me.

Bottle. The beer explodes out of the bottle when opened. Huge white head, hazy orange body. Heavy malt aroma. Spiced with coriander. Thick creamy texture. Bitter finish. Heavy sweet flavor.

Bottle. Hazy orange amber with a small white head. Aromas are yeasty with spiced oranges and woody, medicinal notes. Flavours are tropical fruit mix with herbal notes. Toasted malts with strong yeast and a peppery, bitter finish. Decent.
