Very tastefull tripple.Had it on bottle in Japan. A good and complex beer with lots of taste

330ml bottle from Beers Of Europe. A hazy orange beer with a lot of yeast sediment. Hmm - quite thin and dry for a 9% beer - certainly fully attenuated. Not exactly tart, but leaning in that direction. Mousy, soft carbonation. Muddy flavours - messed up yeast with some slight orange zest. Not sure what to make of this - it’s certainly drinkable, but there’s not a lot of interest or character and certainly few pleasure points. But it’s not bad, it does work in its own way, and there is some interest. It’s like a saison heading toward a lambic, but not getting there. The 9% alcohol is totally wasted - the same sort of texture and flavour could be created under 5% - even under 4%. Difficult to give this any sort of decent score - but it doesn’t deserve a really low score either.

Bottle. Pale gold color with a three finger white head. Aroma is light stone fruit and mild peppery spice. Near medium body with chewy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel, spicey hop, light stone fruit juice. Finishes a bit citric around the edges. Flavorful enough to engage the attention. Didn’t really notice the alcohol. Good job there.

Botella. Hazy deep golden colour with a lot of floaties. Nice creamy white head. Nice aroma of sweet ripe fruits with some yeast. Good lightly sparkling mouthfeel. The flavour has a good ripe fruitiness with a soft bitterness, caramel and alcohol. Dry alco fruity finish.

Light hazy, yellow blond coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a large, lasting white head. Refreshing fruity yeasty aroma. Full palate, accompanied with some sprankling. Finish is bitter yeasty, with some fruity and alcoholic touches.

Bottle, 33 cl. Clear to slighty hazy golden color, with a foamy white head that quickly fades. Aroma fruity, little spice, yeast. Medium body. Taste bit sweet, hoppy, spicy, fruits and warm mouthfeel, alcoholic. Nice bitter finish. Good tripel.

330ml bottle. Golden body with a big white head. Aroma is like castor sugar and acid. Flavor is overwhelming sweet, plain and alcohol. Lots of higher ratings on this one, maybe something wrong with by bottle or my taste? This is just a plain beer with to much sweetness and alcohol for me.

Golden with large head. Sweet aroma with yeast and flowers. Sweet flavor with fruits and flowers. Very Duvel like. Alcohol pretty noticeable.
