Egmont Zottegemse Tripel

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Gold with a **** load of floaters. Thick lasting white head. Sweetish tripel aroma. It’s an ok strong blond really more than a tripel. It’s fine. Nothing remarkable, like a hundred other Belgian blondes, maybe with a bit of peachy tripel fruit. Bit of pukey malt. Again, not great. Had a run of poorish bottled beers this evening.

Bottled 330ml. -at Gollem de Pijp, Amsterdam. Slight hazy yellow coloured, small white head, fruity nose. Moderate malty, spicy and yeasty with notes of honey and orange. Some notes of hops in the finish.

A little hazy golden colored beer, with a tick foamy white head. The aroma of malts, fruits like citrus and some hop bitter. The taste of sweet malts, dry fruits like citrus and orange. There are some spices in the back. The aftertaste light bitter with sweets.

330 ml bottle from Belgium Beers, Antwerp. A fully diminishing offwhite head upon a cloudy, golden orange body. Sweetish, lightly spiced malt aroma with yeast and fruit notes. Spices in the flavor as well, also a rather fresh fruitiness and some sweetish malts. Late bitterness that lingers all the way. Filling. Dryish, spicy finish. A quite nice one.

Bottle, courtesy of OleR. The beer pours a slightly hazy, more or less golden body topped by a big, dense white head. Slightly spiced nose with pale malt and some hops. Sweet and fruity start for the flavor, it dries up after a while, and there’s also some orange peel, spicyness and coriander. Full-bodied and dry. Spiced finish with banana and fruityness. A bit edgy, but quite nice and dangerously quaffable. (090313)
