Asked the guy about my favorite Dutch beer and he recommended me this one. Heavy smell of pineapple and a hint of grapefruit. In general, I have become a fan of hazy APA. This one is NE IPA but just as good. Full-bodied and a pleasant touch of bitterness after.

Collab Floem 🇳🇱 / Norm 🇧🇪

On aime bien Norm!

Toujours bon une bonne collab avec Norm.

bonne IPA, mais on a bu une meilleure bière avant 🤨

Relatively pale yellow beer with a moderate hazy reflection fills the glass. Regular carbonation produces a fluffy head that develops two fingers thick. Soon a neat billowy lace ring wafts on the top. The familiar sweet-leaning malty punch hovers in the air. Biscuity for sure. As if also invert syrup but, at least according to the list of ingredients, it should be absent. I've had a number of Tripels lately, that's why the scent is pretty familiar and predictable to me. Furthermore, the fragrance gives fruity notes, especially those of mandarin, banana, orange peel and apricot. The taste follows along the same lines: sweetish malt, invert syrup, sugar, biscuit, mandarin, banana, apricot, mango. A hint of alcohol can also be observed. Not disturbing though, rather as if it's part of the story. The body is full. Or at least quite close to it. The beer ends with the same sweet flavors as how it starts. The malty sphere continues longer than the fruits. The mouthfeel is full, velvety, smooth, lip-glueing, medium-strong and modestly alcoholic. Fairly classical, true to the style. Works fine as such but I would love to try this with fried, low-fat fish, like perch or pike.

Lekkere tripel

Kun tuo voltti ei paista läpi, on onnistuttu hyvin. Tässä on tukevaa makua, aika fruity meininki.
