Sampled from 0.75 l bottle at RBBSG 2016 in Evergem. Slightly hazy, orangeish yellow with a fluffy white head. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy aroma of caramel, banana, cloves and vanilla. Sweetish-malty, yeasty-spicy taste of banana, cloves, vanilla and caramel, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay!

Original rating: 27 August 2016. At Gents Bierfestival 2016. 6/3/7/3/13=3.2.
Rerate based on a bottle from a Carrefour in Ninove. Best before: 11/8/17 (effectively expired for one year). Pours hazy dark golden/orange with a thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of peach, orange peel, yellow apple, grass, breadcrust, spices, honey, faint solvent or soap. It tastes medium fruity sweet, balancing apple & peach, and light to medium spicy bitter, quite yeasty & bready. Dryish, spicy & peppery hoppy finish, lingering yeast with a not so subtle dash of warming jenever alcohol. Medium body, oily/fatty texture, fizzy carbonation. Unrefined Tripel; I would recommend the Bruin version.

Commissioned strong Belgian blonde, bottle of 75 cl from Fontana in Sint-Niklaas; apparently originally a De Triest beer but now at the Proef. Very creamy and dense, frothy, thick, snow white, very stable head over a deep orange blonde beer, lightly hazy and fizzy. Aroma of banana, orange, bitter honey, peach, pineapple, white pepper, sweet grapes, baker’s yeast, caramel, lightly toasted white bread, strawberry, grass but also something vaguely plastic-like. Sweetish onset with well-balanced fruity esters, banana, peach and orange impressions in a medium carbonated environment, some white candi sugar sweetness somewhere, supple malt body, honeyish and caramelly sweet, very smooth and rounded. Becomes more and more yeasty towards the finish, with a certain ’doughy’ effect, soft herbal hop bitterness and warming, gin-like alcohol. Very correct in every sense and technically completely flawless; style-wise seemingly intended as a typical ’edelbier’ (the Duvel style, let’s say) but at the same time very tripel-like as well - and in that sense, well, redundant, adding absolutely nothing to the already heavily overcrowded tripel population in this country. Ratebeer should include points for originality too.
