A slightly unclear amber beer with a fine head. The aroma is slightly fruity and sweet. The flavor is a nice sweet, malty, slightly bitter, and slightly wheaty flavor. It has a nice palate.

(Bottle 33 cl) My version was 9,5% ABV. Golden amber with a tall, pretty head. Very powerfull, full-bodied with bottle fermentation. A rather dominating bitterness followed by a soft sweetness in the finish. One of my best Tripels so far. 120594

33 cL bottle at Kulminator. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a dense white head. Caramel malty aroma with a mild spice note. Light yeasty phenolic and caramel malty with a with a mild spice, yet also a bit sign aged with a light oxidiation note. Ends mild yeasty and slight metallic. Still nice though.

Bottled. Clear amber coloured with a small wite head. Aroma of fruits, wood and spices. Flavour of fruits, spices and wood.

Bottle @ Chris O’s tasting. Hazy deep amber with medium off white head. Sweet and slightly sour aroma with yeasty and fruity notes. Sweet malty flavor with caramel, ripe fruits and yeasty notes.

Cloudy light amber color, creamy head. Hop aroma, and malt, delicate. Strong malty taste, with a good hopping; well structured and mature; interesting.
