Commercial Description:
Een degustatiebier, een tripel van hoge gisting met 8 procent alcohol. Het is een bitter bier, met een smaak waar sommigen wel wat aan zullen moeten wennen. De naam verwijst naar de ter ziele gegane Brugse Brouwerij Aigle Belgica, die in 1953 een BAB 400-bier lanceerde naar aanleiding van zijn 400ste verjaardag. Info: www.babbierproevers.be.

Bottle, bought @ BelgianShop.com.
Pours pale golden with a small, frothy, white head. Dissipates to a thin film. Aroma has lots of crisp malts, light citrusy hops, some peppery spiciness and light fruity yeast. Highish carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and malty at first, some honey. A fine citrussy and grassy hops bitter finish. Fine tripel, somewhat drier and hoppier than most tripels.

Bottled (Bs, BBE 2010, "L01A-2008"). Hazy yellow color, small white head. Yeasty, barnyardish nose with pear sweetness and some iron. Apricot fruity and very alcoholic and spicey flavor. Long sweet alcholic aftertaste. Just like some European strong lagers ...

Bottle (from belgianshop.com). A bit hazyish golden colour with big foam head. Aroma is alcohol, some fruityness, yeast, mild spices as well as malts and wood. Flavour is fruity, spicy, malty and yeasty. Also has some slight herbal notes. The alcohol mainly gives a burning feel while drinking, but not too much alcohol in flavour. Clean tripel, but also quite boring...

Bottle, from... can’t remember. Pours clear and bright yellow-gold with a big frothy head. Tangy, boozy nose like unripe pear drizzled in white rum. Quite a sweet beer, with a clean, even bitterness arriving late with a face-warming smack of alcohol. More sticky than lively. Bittersweet aftertaste. Sweet and strong and that’s the gist, there must be 100 tripels in Belgium just like this one.

(33cl bottle) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of earth, floral, and yeast. Flavor of grass, florals, and light grain.
