8/05/2011 33cl bottle @ Zee-Zee (Blankenberge) - BB: 29/4/12 (2011-198)

Very cloudy orange to beige coloured beer, white creamy head. Aroma: hops, a bit of malts, bit fruity. MF: good carbon, full body. Taste: lots of hops, citrus fruits, even a touch of passion fruit. Just very fruity in general, but not sweet at all. Aftertaste: dry hops, pretty bitter, a bit of dairy, yeast maybe.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2011 Bottle (33 cl) from the Cracked Kettle. Cloudy orange, small white head. Sugary malt aroma with some phenolic bubble gum notes, and some grassy hops. Meidum bodied and smooth. Semi dry with low bitterness.

Bottle 33cl. A cloudy amber beer with good head and high carbonation. Nose is hopy. Aroma is high on hops character, spicy, bitter, resin like and very nice honey presence. The beer is quite sweet, round, the hops flavor goes nicely around the tongue with good body, long aftertaste, some diacetyl notes. Pleasant beer.

I liked the dubbel one better. While a decent tripel, it leaves me a little wanting.

Bottle at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico on 5 February 2011. Hazy orange colour. A quite spicy tripel. Some slight sour notes. Clean and refreshing although alcohol is noticeable and a little hot. Decent enough.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity, malty nose with apricots, orange, mandarin and spicy hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of apricots, orange, tropical fruit and a generous floral, citrussy, spicy bitterness in a warming finish. Almost full body, fairly sweet, with soft carbonation. Excellent balance makes it deceptively drinkable for its strength. Lovely triple with a grassy, citric, almost saison like character. Very nice.

Bottle: Big off white foamy head. Hazy dark orange colored beer. Smell is fruity sweet, hints of yeast, malts and spices. Taste is a good mix of yellow fruits, yeast, malts, hops, spices and hint of alcohol.
