Oct 22, 2005 33 cl bottle, bbe April 06. Golden with haze, vigorous pearling, big and stable white frothy head leaving some lace. Hops and a good touch of higher esters in the nose. Soft, round and light tarty fruity taste with alcohol and a bunch of hops in the background. Fruity and hoppy aftertaste reminiscent of a saison. Warming and mellow mouthfeel, yet a bit flat and papery. The fruity, Saison Dupont-like component gets nicely expressed with baked fresh cod with mashed potatoes with celery.

Oct 18, 2005 Poured with a huge fizzy head, that quickly fizzed out, on top of cloudy orange/tan nectar. The aroma was highly citrus, reminiscent of orange/mango soft drink, with also some alcohol, typical of the tripel. It was quite sweet and syrupy, with some bitterness to finish. It’s a bit too highly carbonated with a cloying aftertaste and a surprisingly thin metallic body. This is the worst tripel I’ve had, but it’s better than most other beers out there!

Oct 17, 2005 Like the double, this beer has a huge head that is very light and foamy. Very bitter tasting, also. A golden color with lots of carbonation, it looks somewhat thin. Flavor is dry citrus with lemon quite noticeable. Perhaps a hint of pineapple as well. If this beer is typical of the style, then triple has a lot to offer. A very enjoyable, beer to sample and to drink.

Sep 21, 2005 Huge snow-white head, takes a minute or two for the large bubbles to subside. Golden colored and just a little hazy. Earthy, bready aroma. Malt and earth flavor. Goes down pretty smooth. Spicy and dry. Not much burn from the alcohol. A steal at $1.99 for an 11 oz bottle.
