Apr 6, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Cph.
Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, lots of yeast, some apple, pineapple and sweet oranges. Lively and fresh mouthfeel. Flavour is round, quite dry, oranges peep through again. Lightly yeasty. Perhaps a bit too lively.

Apr 1, 2008 Murky straw yellow, massive pillowy head collapses into flotsam. Wet hay, musty yeast, appley fruit aroma. Very malty and sweet up front, musty basement yeastiness, not much fruit character, dry finish with noticeable alcohol.

Mar 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head. The aroma is spices, banana, yeast, and citrus. The taste is mostly a dry and creamy mouthfeel. Some citrus and spices, really quite dry and no notice of the alcohol. Not bad.

does not count  Mar 24, 2008 330ml bottle with a lot of carbonation with an average gold color. Initlal bitter taste mellows but still leaves a rather unpleasant aftertaste. Disappointing for a tripel.

Mar 22, 2008 Bottle. Dull gold color, big giant head with large bubbles. Aroma is excellent. A sweet aroma of malt, honey, bread, yeast, some sourness. Flavor starts off with an unpleasant astringency. Yeast some light grape flavors. Flavor improves as it warms of course, but never meets what was expected from aroma. Body is medium, but I found this to be over carbed. Overall not the best tripel.

does not count Mar 16, 2008 33ml bottle. Not sure why the low scores. Very good in my opinion... maybe the best from the van steenberge brewery. the carmelized malts add a sweetness to the taste. well balanced... almost like a desert. Very good.

Mar 16, 2008 Updated: Apr 9, 2008330 ml bottle. Rather mild aromas of yeast spice, malt, and perhaps coriander and a touch of burnt candi. Orange tinged gold color with an impressive white head that diminishes but hangs around. A bit thin bodied with rather coarse carbonation. Heat is noticeable. Flavors are malt, again perhaps coriander, and some floral and/or grassy bitter. It smooths out in the finish, becoming dry and mildly bitter. For hop I will guess grassy. A bit of fruit seems to come out with time.
