5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20 corkyrory66 (235) - BELGIUM - MAY 10, 2013
Bière classée comme flemish triple, ce qui est normal pour une 8 % abv, alors que
ce n’était pas possible pour la simple X qui n’affiche que 6 % au compteur, et est pourtant
appelée ainsi pour le marché américain. Donc il faut corriger l’erreur, mais il n’y en a pas
qu’une sur le classement des bières belges aux States !!!!
Sur le site de ratebeer, la X était une belgian ale, et celle-ci une strong ale … logique !!!
Sauf que ce n’est pas une ale mais une triple à refermentation en bouteille …
Bref, keep quiet ….
Couleur ambre soutenu, curieux pour une triple, mais c’est ainsi chez les Struise....
Clarté nette. Bulles fines en fontaine intense au centre.
Mousse blanc cassé qui tombe très vite, et couvre comme une nappe en soie à 1 mm.
Odeurs de candi blanc, trèfle, pamplemousse doux, écorce de pin et houblon de Poperinge..
1ère bouche douce sur des noisettes grillées, avec du malt caramel.
Arrière-bouche avec des touches de houblon.
2ème bouche agréable en cascade céréales/houblon. Rétro-nez fruité abricot.
3ème bouche sur des fruits confits (abricot, poire) et du blé mûri.
Arrière-bouche très complexe en céréales/fruits/bois blanc de fût.
Longueur où on détaille la complexité ou on complexifie le détail …
Alcool bien sous tout rapport.
Levure construite, structurée, très belle et jolie pointe d’amertume.
Finale qui parachève le travail.
Une bière donc sans défaut, c’est dèjà un grand point, avec beaucoup de qualités,
c’est encore mieux, et venant des Struise, alors c’est le ponpon ….
Comprenne qui voudra.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 alassio (64) - USA - APR 10, 2013
Pleasantly zesty with a light fruity density on the palate; a touch of apricot and then some light tree-bark hops. Sour, sweet, and bitter all vie for attention, with none of them succeeding and the flavors cancel each other out to make for an overall simple beer that is not all that pleasurable, really. If anything, the mouthfeel is the best thing about it. Don’t need to have it again terribly soon.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 beerandbeyond (452) - ISRAEL - APR 8, 2013
33cl bottle poured into a tulip glass.
Hazy deep amber with a massive beige head that is impossible to pour.
Fruity nose (dried plums) with a hint of funk, yeast and spicy hops.
Sweet caramel malt, fruity esters, lo bitterness, wine-like tartness and some alcohol.
Med-full bodied, not very interesting, heavy and not easy to drink.
