eManu (400) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - JUL 9, 2009
Great looking 50cl earth bottle, with corck and won the 2008 Gold medal at Paris agricultural fair. Pours a clear gold color as you can see the bubbles running up the glass, with a nice white head. Aroma are very floral, with cereals and hops. Flavors are floral, hoppy and spicy, with some orange present. Quite an interesting beer with a strong flavor with a bitter and sour ending.

Fin (6175) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 21, 2009
Bottle that I picked up from Carrefour, Calais. Consumed at West Runton Campsite, North Norfolk. 13-06-09. Pours rich golden colour almost but not quite clear in the clarity stakes, with a white head atop. Some banana toffee, warmth from alcohol apparent, soft malts, its a touch sweet, bit hoppy and spicy, I enjoyed this. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov15 3.8

bedainedebiere (499) - Terrebonne, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 7, 2009
From SAQ, around 8$ for a 750 ml bottle. Why they have this one? Really nothing special or that enjoyable in this brew. Alchool is too obvious, barely hidden; some spices, which I like less. Saved from a destructing rating by a pleasing bitterness, although the aftertaste has something chalky and alchoolic that had me wondering "do I like this or not?", which is a pretty bad sign to me. Disappointing after the Floreffe Tripel I had two days ago.

Bottled. Hazy golden, small head. Fruity nose with vegetables soaked in honey. Very fruity with grainy malt and somewhat stocky mouthfeel. Finishes with grass anf fruit brandy. A bit rough.

jerohen (1863) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - APR 18, 2009
Stone bottle, thanks MennoO. Huge pressure in the bottle, finally a beer from a stone bottle that still shows some carbonation. Hazy golden coloured, big lasting white head. Very nice hoppy nose, spices, floral notes, alcohol. Hopbitter flavour, spices, alcohol apparent but not annoying. Dry finish. A spiced up version of a Duvel. Might age well. Very nice!

beerbuzzmontreal (3490) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 28, 2009
The pour reveals a slightly cloudy golden color with a medium, diminishing, white head. The aroma has yeast, fruits and candy sweetness. The flavor has a balanced combo of yeast, fruits, hops and candy sweetness. The body is medium with an oily texture and medium carbonation. This isn’t a spectacular tripel by far, but it’s well balanced and well crafted.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Gusher. The look is golden in color with a white head. Clear look. The smell is yeast, little bit light, fruits, slight sweet, and sugar. The taste is sweet, fruity, little off, and yeast.
