Golden shining and soft feeling in the mouth - perfectly balanced taste - full body and heart warming, a splendid aroma, tickling in the nose - hoppy dry long finish.

Bottle from Whole Foods Hillcrest. Super fizzy pour - highly carbonated stuff. Trippy, funky flavor - like csbosox said, I picked up some earthy leather like flavors as well. Somehow, it seems to work pretty well. A little overcarbonated for my liking, but still pretty darn good.

When the hell will I learn not to open Belgians above my keyboard? Aroma of citrus, yeast, vanilla. Flavor is candi sugar, citrus (lemon), yeast, alcohol (beer is likely too warm), and some very earthy, leathery notes that are reminiscent of brettanomyces. The finish is hoppy, but with some residual sweetness. This one seems both highly hopped, for the style, and very sweet, I wish the beer was a little tighter, more lean.

Bottle. "Old Buccaneer Reserve". The cap popped off with a loud bang and the beer came out as champagne. Pours a very lively hazy golden colour with a huge rather short lasting white head. Aroma of yeast, malt and fruits. Good champagne mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with a good maltiness, yeast, lots of fruits, hops and alcohol. Dry fruity yeasty finish. A good and very lively tripel.

I feel some other raters are a bit harsh on this one. Hazy gold with a hugh head. Big malty aroma,. More restrained flavour wise than most tripels, peach and citrus, some subtile background floral notes. I would never have put this at 9%. An okay if underwhelming beer.

On tap, from old notes. Hazy golden color with stark white foam, initial flavors of candy sugar and malt give way to a lingering hoppy finish.

It had a pale yellow body with medium head, it had a very fruity nose, and the flavor had a strong citrus lemon taste.

Not very good at all for a belgian, but for as beer over all, above average.
