5/III/13 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 9/I/14 (2013-215)

Clear blond to light orange beer, big fizzy dense head, crackling (sound), falling down quickly, little adhesive. Aroma: pretty sweet, ripe banana, orange blossom, bit yeasty, sugary. MF: a bit too much carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, sugary start, some dairy, defined yeasty character, some banana, bit spicy. Aftertaste: yeast, more banana, sweet and sugary, little bitter but not much, bit sourish, might be the carbon, pretty chemical ending, alcohol noticeable, warming the throat. You can do better than this, Van Steenberge!

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Poured a cloudy amber with a thin white head. The aroma is a little bitter. The flavour is medium bitter with a strange medicinal aftertaste. Not one of my favourites.

Bottle shared from Deanso. Pours clear golden with an off white head. Aroma of initially seems like a bad white wine, going further there’s yeast, light fruit, light malt, alcohol. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

UPDATED: APR 25, 2013 33cl bottle as Alsem’s triple. Thick flimsy white head. Clear golden pour. An ok triple.

Classic-looking tripel from 12oz into Duvel glass. Light gold with a sturdy white head. Really pleasant aroma of light grain and smooth funk. Really smooth on palate and harmonized flavor. Especially like this one since I live 5 minutes from the Keizersberg abbey and it’s beautiful to walk the grounds in the fall!

never been happier not ordering a full glass, sample from keg at Nobi .. . deep gold .. very boozy, some honey .. . mild foam .. . quite thin and way to boozy and hot .. . pass on this,backwards credits .. . like a ball bag in the wind, disgusting..
