Bottled (BB 10/2009)
Very lively beer, 20 of 33cl survived to glass. Spicey, leafy and grainy aroma. Grainy, peppery, alcoholic, fruity (peach) notes. Aftertaste is mainly fruity and a bit soapy. Some aromatic hops stops by in the finish. Not very tripel-like, could be almost a brew from Fantome. Propably quality varies in these bottles as well.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. It was a super gusher. Hazy orange amber color with a super ferocious off-white head. Aromas of spicy fruit and soft funk. Medium body with smooth and creamy carbonation. Flavor is a touch of funk, with yeast, fruit and spice. Finish is very mild funk. It’s just incredibly drinkable.

Jul 29, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a murky, dull orange-amber color; textured off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Nice amounts of honey, lime and mineral hop bitterness, and a decently complex yeast character in the aroma; dry and toasty, with some honeyed sweetness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy honey, tea-like malts, and solid yeastiness upfront; a touch sweet, but generally well integrated and generous in its (albeit straightforward) flavor notes: honey, toasted malts, and crackers, with a touch of yellow fruits; reasonably drinkable and tasty tripel, but nothing exceptional here. Lengthy finish: sweet honeyed maltiness, toasty malts, crackers, and some tea-like malts.
