Bottle 33 cl @ home. (yesterday) Golden color, good sized head. Aroma: malty, flowery. Medium body. Taste some fruity, hop bitterness, touch of alcohol. Malty aftertaste. A very normal tripel beer.

looks and smells like a mediocre hefeweizen. tastes like a shitty version of a franziskaner.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Clear, amber golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Medium body with plenty of fruit - peach I believe. Lots of yeast and diacetyl also. The finish is bitter. 280607

Bottle. Huge creamy like off-white head that mostly lasted. Excellent lacework. Light cloudy golden color. Spice, yeast, coriander, caramel, fruit, grass and citrus. Quit malty base with what I thought was a hint of apricot. Medium bodied with a light alcoholic texture and an average carbonation. Moderated sweet notes with light bitter and acidic, maybe even a pinch of salt in there as well. Spicy sweet and average lasting finish. Just around average Tripel in my book.

Draft a nice and good tasting beer. A good combination of bitter and sweet and nice finish

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2008 Golden colour, with small white head. Malty and spicy. Bitter, pleasant finish.

Bottle conditioned, 330ml, aged 6yrs. Golden with white head, highly conditioned. Floral, rounded flavours, some spiciness, but the ageing has knocked off the sharper edges. Malty and just a touch tart with a slight strawberry note. Not sure I recommend ageing this one again, but a reasonable beer anyway.

Warm golden, nice head and the aroma is fruity. The flavour is sweet with distinct notes of fruit/citrus and a nice hoppy finish. The alcohol is present in a bit disturbing way.
