Bright amber colour, with a short flat head. Initial burst of citrus on the tongue, gives way to a slightly chemical tang and bitter after taste. Drunk at 10 deg C Not overly impressed.

330 ml bottle. Golden amber. Lively carbonation with a persistent head. Terrible aroma. Smells like a pair of old rubber boots. I feared that this beer was totally off. It ain’t, but it sure smells awful. Flavour is full of caramel, and the alcohol is noticeable. The carbonation dominates the palate. Aftertaste, is thin. There is still a year left until the best before date, so I’m a bit uncertain what is wrong with this beer. I’ve still got a bottle left, so I’ll give it another try in the near future. (Final note: Just for the record; I emptied the bottle.)

Dark brown with tall tan head. Fruity aroma with notes of raisins. Slightly bitter start and then a little fruity and smoky,.. very wel tripel. the overall rating is to low

Bottle. Clear amber coloured beer, large white head. Malty nose, with hints of citrus and orange. Sweet malty taste, again citrussy, ends grainy with a light hopbitterness. Bit sticky palate. Seems to lack refinement and complexity but enjoyable for a monday-evening..

33 cl bottle. Yeast in bottom. Amber colour with a nice white head. Sweet aroma of spice and yeast. Nice flavour of caramel and spice, that ends up in a little bitter finish.

A Mes rate: Lightish amber in colourwith a good looking head. Sweet malty aroma. Caramel sweet and alcohol flavour. Slightly bitter alcoholic finish. Nothing too special.

Dark amber with lovely white head. Sweet caramel and a hint of alcohol in the aroma and taste.

Bottle in Brugge. Deep golden-amber color with a nice off-white head that leaves some lacing. Light aroma, grassy, lemon, yeast and bready with some herbal hoppy character. Flavor of sweetbread, ripe peach, lots of pungent spices with noticible alcohol and a pepper finish. Smooth, medium body and assertive carbonation.

Golden orange. Nice white head. Spicy nose with a bit too much coriander. Alcoholic notes along with a bitter sweet finish.

Slightly hazy old gold colour with slim off white head. Spicey and fruity aroma with some underlying malts. Sweet, herbal taste, with orange. Lightly bitter hoppy finish. Medium carbonation, dry, with well hidden alcohol. Good tripel.
