[northern brewer]

My buddies parents just came over for a visit from holland and this is the gift that they brang me.......




I can't wait to get into this thing.....The only one that I have enjoyed in the past is hoegaarden which is not bad at all......and my personal taste buds have been coming around to the belgian "styles" very much recently with my favourite of abbey's being Westmalle........gotta love westmalle triple.......................yummy...........................

I've not had the centre two, but of the others (excluding the Hoegarden) I can give you a big thumbs up. My preference would go

Kwak
Triple Karmeliet
DeKonnick

You are in for a treat.

i really like tripel karmeliet, i believe it contains oats and wheat unlike most tripels.

they all suck so just box em up and send them to me so I can properly dispose of them! The only one I havn't had is the Echt Kriekbier.Considering what its been boxed with you cant go wrong with any of em

the Kwak is AMAZING.
We have a small Belgian restaurant close to the house that we like to visit that have some of the most incredible Belgian beers on hand. It's called Bistro Bières Belges. Specialty is Mussels and fries. Have you ever tasted mussels done in a rich and creamy garlic sauce?!?!?!?! wow!! anyway, my wife had a Kwak to start off the evening and no regrets at the table. For me, a Kwak is best enjoyed after dinner but it was still delicious.
And the fun thing about this place is that they serve your beer in the right glass. And this glass has a round bottom so you need a stand to hold it up. All part of the fun.

GREAT beer. I say that in the batch that you have pictured, the Hoegaarden is the least exciting.

ENJOY!

Which Corsendonk is that? Pater (dubbel) or Agnus (tripel)? Shunt and I were just discussing that one. I prefer the Agnus myself but both are excellent.

I do give Hoegaarden (or more correctly Pierre Celis) props for rediscovering the style but take a look for Kira or St Bernardus Wit. You'll be much happier.
