Westoek is a Belgian Triple. I don't know much about it, but I found it in a bottle and then I drank it.
It's cloudy and golden amber, and although it nearly leaped out of the bottle when I uncapped it, I found the head a little thin and fairly bubbly, especially for a Belgian ale. The nose is slightly lambic-y with the sourish nose of brettanomyces making a strong presence. The aromas are also musky with peppery and spice notes. And if that's not enough, there are fruity hints as well; subtle banana and overripe apricot.
The palate is crisp and very effervescent, with bitter orange and sweet spice and cardamom. I was a little surprised though. Compared to the aroma, the flavor is almost boringly simple.
Good not great.
7 out of 10.
