3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour looks just like champagne with a thicker white head. Aroma of white grapes, apples, sour yeast, and alcohol. Tart, bitter flavor was unexpected but not bad. Apples, grain, and bready prevalent. Missing the nice banana/bubblegum. There are better trippels out there.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Frothy white excellent fully lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Light malty moderate hopppy aroma. Sour-notes (from the yeast). Moderate bitter flavor. Moderate bitter avergage finish. Too carbonated. Not my kind of trippel.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Light yellow beer with a white head that dissipates quickly. Alcohol was noticeable and a bit watery. Van Steenberge has made better efforts.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice enough tripel- although nothing to get too excited about. Very sweet and spicy. Hard to believe it comes in at 9%. More drinkable than most tripels, but maybe because it is missing some of the complexity you’d expect.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. (as Old Buccaneer Reserve) Golden / orange colour with a white head. Aroma is spices, alcohol, orange. Flavour is mature apple, hop, spices, orange, alcohol, grain. Nice beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. (as Old Buccaneer Reserve) Hazy, golden-orange body and a white head. Spiced and fruity, mostly orange and lemon, with some alcohol. Sweet flavor as well, some alcohol, spices, fruits and some grain. Full body. Long, sweet and fruity finish with a little spiced touch. Dangerously easy to drink. Nice. (070528)
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. A very lively bottle, perhaps shaken up in its trip from Belgium to Alaska to Panama. Aroma is excellent yeast, flowers, banana...very alive smelling. However, I think that this smells better than it tastes. The taste seems off balanced with the alcohol dominating (9%). Taste is dominated by some tartness. Average (or below) for the style, but still it is a belgian ale, so better than 80% of the beers out there.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, Ter Posterie, Ypres, Belgium, 25-07-07. Some banana and port aroma’s come thorugh with this hazy light amber coloured beer, very slim white head. Alcohol present throughout, quite sweet some bitterness, Liked it.
