3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAY 29, 2006 Clear golden color with thin white head. Aroma of sweet candy/cane sugar and malt plus a bit of fruit. The taste is light and fresh. Didn’t realize it states 9% ABV on the bottle until I was half way thru the 22 oz. bottle. Really don’t sense the alcohol. I taste sweet candy sugar, banana, spice and some hop bitterness. This Belgium beer doesn’t have the somewhat typical sour tang. I’m not a Belgium beer aficionado but I’d place this beer at the top right behind Orval and Chimay Triple (draft) of the beers I’ve tasted.

Clear light golden pour with thin off-white head. Fruity aroma of peach and apricot with some spice notes - pretty nice. Taste begins with a big dose of spicy Belgian yeast followed by some sweet fruitiness and just a hint of bready malt and finishes with just a very slightly bitter aftertaste. Creamy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Pretty decent overall.

Pour gold with small white head. Smells like golden fruits, flowers, and a little spice. Taste is big and complex with notes of flowers, apricot, banana, sweets malts, spices, yeast and hops. Med-full bodied. After taste has cinnamon, malts and dry hopped. Hop presence is big, but not too bitter. Cinnamon is pretty obvious and creates a lot of warming on the tongue. Good, interesting, and balanced beer.

Reasonable body, slightly syrupy mouthfeel, sweet on the palate with a little bitterness in the finish. Taste is stone fruits, honey, citrus. Seems quite like a Belgian Tripel.

The beer pours a golden straw color with white head. The nose smells of floral apricots, subtle spice, perhaps coriander and nutmeg and hints of cinnamon. The Flavors starts with a little barnyard, followed by a sweet apricot the middle has a touch of bitterness and finishes with a off dry sweet flavor.

Fruktig, rund och fin smak av aprikos och apelsin samt belgisk jäst. Den vi drack var lagrad 1 år vilket gjorde smaken mer balanserad. 3,7p
