Bottle. An unclear one, golden in color and with a dense, two-finger off-white head. Lighly spiced and quite pleasantly hopped aroma with pale malts, sugar and some alcohol notes. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated, quite dry. Pale malts, sugar notes, a spiced herbal hoppyness, some bitterness and a little warming touch in the flavor. Lasting dry, bitter finish. Certainly a tripel I could have a few of. 120516

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 MoritzF (7342) - Bochum, GERMANY - APR 30, 2012
(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden to light-amber colour with a big and slightly off-white foamy head. Bready (cara-)malty aroma with notes of candy-sugar, a rather delicately fruity touch and minor spicy accents. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Slightly soapy malty taste with hints of caramel and spicy notes of anise and lavender; slightly sugary and mildly fruity finish with notes of warming alcohol. Not directly my cup of tea. 27.III.12

Bottle: Deep golden, a bit unclear, stable off-white head, visible carbonation, a tinge of ginger, vegetables and toasted malt in the orangey/grainy nose; pretty solid sweet-bitter flavour; lingering drier orangey finish with ginger again and a strong bitterness in the aftertaste. Robust brew with an odd aroma…
