I have no idea what the relation of this beer is to the "Pikkeling Tripel" "made" by brewery Paeleman.
Hazy orange with faint olive shine; very white, medium head. Diacetyl. Diacetyl. Dia - oh and coriander, to add insult to injury. Coriander and diacetyl in the taste. Then, there is more coriander. God knows what it is supposed to mask. Medium bodied, very slick MF. To paraphrase a big Belgian brewer in Britain: reassuringly horrible.

Bottled as "Pikkeling Tripel", bottle says Gebrouwen door Brouwerij Boelens, 9111 Belsele. Hazy deep orange colour with mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is toffee, coriander, citrusy notes and also some honey. Flavour is yeast, coriander and some other spicy notes. Big toffeeish aftertaste.
