#1742. Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)…
L- Well rested, chilled, opened carefully, yet it blows as the cap is eased off depositing about 50ml on the desk/floor - grrr. The front lable shouts 'ORGANIC' in huge font, but no clue who the brewery is.
Pale amber, lots of suspended micro-bit floaters. 3mm white head.
S- Unusual, slightly sour, but then something odd, rather decomposing organic matter, like badly tanned leather.
T- ....I continue in some trepidation... woody, Belgian yeast notes, a hugely estery + mild ABV% note. Tastes better than what went before, for sure. But the esters are massive, to the point one might find them dominant to the point of being a bit strangely OTT - I don't know. It's a bit like having a shot of liquid 'Pear Drops' sweets added into a beer.
F- Overall quite dry, majorly rustic (small-town Breton cider is a similar parallel vs more refined cider). Body and richness follow.
O- A real swerve-ball. If you told me this was from a Franco-Belgian micro-brewery that was a recent side-line on a small arable farm I'd get the back-story and style, and how far they have come. The estery aspect is really massive, perhaps the biggest I've yet to encounter. Frankly it's a bit too much drama, 10% of the contents on the floor (despite very careful handling is rare and really annoying), mega-esters probably OTT in the balance (the esters/ABV% get a bit pointy/shouty on the palate). Yep, I'll leave it there, amongst the meaty leather and the rest of the complexity...
ps finishing off +20 mins post-pour, the esters get super pungent. Frankly it's OTT, really left-field, ... enough said

This is definitely not a tripel as you would expect it. It has a quite light body. The taste is the best from the beer I drank from this brewery to date, but it's not on estery flavour as you would expect it to be. Really, really drinkable for its high abv though

Brown 33cl dumpy bottle, best before Sept 2011, drank during one of my 'random beer reviewing evenings' in April 2011.
This beer had been sat untouched for over a week in my chilling fridge, yet on picking it up you could clearly see sediment milling about towards the bottom of the bottle.
On opening, the beer came up to meet me, the Westmalle chalice caught all the beer and a lovely white blanket of foaming bubbles sat on top of the amber coloured beer. Carbonisation bubbles rising through the beer all the time, ensuring the sediment lumps which lept into the glass floated around for a long time before settling down a bit.
The beer had a sweet treacle smell, molasses and nothing else.
The taste: alcohol front, back and sides, some yeast presence (had to be with so many floaters), otherwise a lot of nothing. This is a headache waiting to happen.
Far too sweet and not enough body to hide the alcohol or the sweetness, a very poor Belgian Tripel!

On a bronze color, it offers a nose of bitter oranges where spices are present. The palate is spicy, at least as powerfully as the Binchoise Brune, and olfactory are present citrus mingle and cereals, sometimes quite strongly, but the conclusion of the tasting is just average, even despite a persistence that is in the throat long enough to have a good time.
