Commercial Description:
Een degustatiebier, een tripel van hoge gisting met 8 procent alcohol. Het is een bitter bier, met een smaak waar sommigen wel wat aan zullen moeten wennen. De naam verwijst naar de ter ziele gegane Brugse Brouwerij Aigle Belgica, die in 1953 een BAB 400-bier lanceerde naar aanleiding van zijn 400ste verjaardag. Info: www.babbierproevers.be.

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.

A little hazy yellow colored beer, with a smaal white head. The aroma of flowers with malts. In the back a little sour. The taste is malty sweet with fruits and the bitterness of citrus and hops. The aftertaste is sweet moving to bitter with a little sour in the back.

Bottle, bought @ BelgianShop.com.
Pours pale golden with a small, frothy, white head. Dissipates to a thin film. Aroma has lots of crisp malts, light citrusy hops, some peppery spiciness and light fruity yeast. Highish carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and malty at first, some honey. A fine citrussy and grassy hops bitter finish. Fine tripel, somewhat drier and hoppier than most tripels.

Bottled (Bs, BBE 2010, "L01A-2008"). Hazy yellow color, small white head. Yeasty, barnyardish nose with pear sweetness and some iron. Apricot fruity and very alcoholic and spicey flavor. Long sweet alcholic aftertaste. Just like some European strong lagers ...

Bottle (from belgianshop.com). A bit hazyish golden colour with big foam head. Aroma is alcohol, some fruityness, yeast, mild spices as well as malts and wood. Flavour is fruity, spicy, malty and yeasty. Also has some slight herbal notes. The alcohol mainly gives a burning feel while drinking, but not too much alcohol in flavour. Clean tripel, but also quite boring...
