330ml bottle at home.
Nice head that comes up 'professional', doesnt disappear that quick.
A good looking golden color to.
The beer is a full-bodied one, wich is detailled with a nice mix of freshness and dryness.
It tastes like a real special beer.
The mouth feeling is very nice its sparkling in your mouth, it warms up your mouth.
The first taste is a fresh taste with hints to fruit (banana's & some melon) , grain and minth.
To fast after the first taste there comes up an alcohol taste, which is very warming.
The taste is a bit dry and got hints to pepper, coffee, caramel and honey.
Alchohol taste isnt that noticeable.
Overall the beer is a nice mix of freshness and dryness, however the fruit taste doesnt last that long and gets way to quicky overwhelmed by the dry tast..

Bottle pour into a taster glass.
Amber murky appearance with big fast forming head despite the age. Nose is yeast, cracker, floral. Taste is malty, bread, licorice. Mouthfeel is moderate body and lively on the tongue.

11% sure is on the hide side for a tripel, but this is a surprisingly mellow beer, not much going on, white bread, biscuit, spice, honey, lemon zest, little bit of caramel, a certain unique herbal character which i can’t quite pin down, light bitterness on the finish, light to medium in body with high carbonation, it’s strongish but you wouldn’t not think it’s 11%, nice enough sipper but not a great tripel

Bottle, at the Manneke Pis, Tenerife. Served with correct glass. ABV was 11%. Hazy amber to orange colour, moderate white head. Strong sweetish aroma, notes of honey and spices. Spicy medium sweet flavour, hints of honey, quite nice.

A Belgian beer I picked up from Pidou in Calais to help with my 14 day quarantine on my way back to the UK. It did it's part...
Appearance: Light golden, slightly hazy. Good carbonization with a thick white head that dissipated fast, leaving a thick lacing.
Smell: fruity, perhaps just a bit on the unpleasant side.
Taste: Complex. Harsh fruit, spices, with a long slow bitter finish. At one point you can briefly taste the 11% ABV, but mostly it is masked quite well. This really has a long lasting flavour.
An easy drinking trippel.
