Small to medium off-white head; listlessly carbonated coppery-orange beer; end of bottle fully opaque. Dry spicy nose, with white candi sugar, and faint orangey aroma. Dry flavours, with just some backthroat sweetness. Fleetingly a lightly smoked impression, toast and spiced orangepeel. More carbonated MF than visual; dry to medium dry; medium bodied at best; slightly viscous impression. Easily drinkable for a 7% tripel. Agreable, but nowhere exciting. Many thanks to Stef!
