UPDATED: AUG 28, 2008 Essa cerveja é da mesma fábrica da Tripel de Garre. Coloração marrom turva. É um marrom médio, muito bonito, meio âmbar. Creme bege e bom. Aroma e paladar de café, nozes, caramelo e malte torrado, porém tudo muito suave. O álcool é imperceptível. A carbonatação é média. Bom retrogosto. Deixa um final levemente amargo.

Bottle 0,75ltr: Decent Belgian Ale thats easy to drink, one of the middle of the road.

nothing special, typical belgian ale, and not even good at that. typical yeastiness, some dried fruit, but not very good.

Bottled Sample from MLCC. Another win for Belgian Ales. Am becoming quite fond of these.

Poured a brown amber with some off-white bubbles, faint fragrances of malts, some dry cider fragrance on the nose, little taste of malts, faint caramel, some tartness on the tongue, medium mouth feel, this was ok.

33cl bottle - pours hazy amber, slight dark, with a rocky white head floating on top. Aroma is hoppy, yeasty, somewhat sour, reminscent of Flemish sour ale. Some other fruity/citrusy esters in the nose as well. Flavour brings caramel, honey, hops (bringing some interesting bitterness), in addition to that sour character that is found in the aroma. Bready character, typical of the style, makes up the background. Not bad, not remarkable either, just a decent Belgian ale. Sort of thin mouthfeel/body.

11.2 fl. oz. bottle, approximately 1.5 years old when opened. Unlike most popular Belgian ales. Color is slightly hazy light brown. Very minimal, white head. Yeasty aroma. Almost no flavor is present except mild sourness. Light body matched with watery texture.
