3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Big aroma of coriander, cherry, apple and honey. Appearance is translucent gold with white foamy head. Flavor matches the nose, but in a lighter way than expected. The bigness of the nose was not matched. Palate is bubbly. A good Tripel that was somewhat inconsistent for me.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle 9.5%. Clear orangeish gold pour with a frothy white head that doesn’t last long. Aroma has notes of honey, yeast, spice and malt. Flavour is quite similar but bigger: the spice and honey stand out more plus there are additional hints of lemon, caramel, grass and meringue. Mouthfeel is dry yet oily with moderate carbonation and a medium to short bittersweet finish with a hint of sourness. A very good tripel overall, which is difficult enough to achieve, but this is smooth, complex, layered and easy to drink.
