3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled @ 5de Brugs Bierfestival, Brugge. This was my last beer on the festival, and after having a selection of very good beers this was a bit of a down note to end on. Not by any means a bad beer, just ... ordinary, compared to the competition.

Pours golden with thin white head. Aroma is bland with undertones of funky earth. Very light. Flavor is initially overwhelmed by carbonation, follows with a medium bodied, slightly sweet flavor which is underwhlming. Peaks with a slight hop character.

Draft at ’t Brugs Beertje.
Nice presentation, with the clear blond color and semilarge white head. But I do not like the logo.
Sour aroma. Sweet and fruity flavor at the start, bitter and spicy finish.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
The BAB 401 I tasted last week here at Cambrinus was way better than the one I tasted from draught at the Second Bruges Beer Festival.
I’m very well surprised with this bottled BAB 401. excellent brewing by Marc Strubbe. And... a great choice from the BAB people!
BAB 401 has become a delicious 8.0 vol% hoppy Tripel. 3 Kinds of different hop varieties were used, which gave the beer that pleasant flowery, hoppy bitter, experience.
Folks, this is a tripel like it should taste. Crispy, hoppy, somewhat sweetish, not too dry, full bodied, pleasant soft without too much carbonation tingling.

Bottle. Hazy golden yellow. Soft sweet flowery aroma. First taste is the same sort of sweet, goes into more bitter and malty. Not too alcoholic but still has that ’warm’ feeling. Soft bitter aftertaste, hop taste somewhat to the background. Overall not a spectacular, but certainly very pleasant tripel.
