| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a smallish, frothy white head and a clear, brilliant golden body. Malty aroma of grain and hay with some bread. Doughy yeast component and herbal, grassy hops. Light alcohol on the nose. The flavor was dominated by the sweet malt with some light bitterness and quite a bit of booze. Enough alcohol flavor to seriously detract from my enjoyment of the beer. Piraat and Gulden Draak did a much better job hiding the alcohol and they had 1.5% more. Overall a pretty raw and mediocre triple. PaulHegedus (464), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Bottle. This beer pours a very pale, transparent yellow in the glass with a large, thick, foaming white head. The carbonation is medium. In the aroma I smell lemon, doughy bread with butter, lime, alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium in body. I taste a whole lot of lemon with some grassy hops, a moderate bitterness, alcohol, more citrus; sadly there’s a bit of a metallic flavour in the finish. michael-pollack (2647), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

A very well-made brew. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden with short lived white head. Smell is fruity and floral with honeysuckle, yeast and light alcohol. Taste is watery with floral fruity, non-descript flavors and light alcohol. A bit sweet in the finish with a yeasty flavor. Not terrible, but not something I particularly care for. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 20, 2009 Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has some vanilla yeastyness but not much else. Flavor is a little creamy with some pepper and ass kicking alcohol finish. This does not hide the alcohol at all. It got a little better as it warmed with some fruitness coming through but this is no where near a good triple. Yves (1009), Beerse, Belgium
