3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from...Dranken Geers, 9.4% ABV. Brilliant straw spiralling with bubbles and throwing up a solid, pure white foam. One of the coolest beer labels I’ve ever seen- some kind of demonic piratical fellow with eyes like glowing coals and steam shooting from his ears. Happily, the beer lives up to the label. Aroma of marmalade, lemon curd, slight meatiness and pine. Bright and sparkling with Huyghe’s yeasty thumbprint all over it; pear and banana esters, a sprinkle of pine needles, clean wafery malts like Duvel, a puff of ground spice disguising the alcohol brilliantly. Perfumed and estery, but grounded by a solid underpinning malt and hop presence. Tripel how I like it.
