2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 cathcacr (620) - USA - FEB 1, 2007
Eeegh!! Forget all my sem-technical bluster. Three words: Lingering. Soapy. Aftertaste.
Technical bluster:
$4.99 for a 25’er of Triple, I’m thinking "gee, that’ll be money well-spent. Gee, that was money well-spent. Nice to see that it wasn’t just me or this bottle (it was slightly chilled, served up in a snobbish snifter or bulbous tulip or whatever the hell you call it); again, the RateBeer community comes through with flying colors! Flavor is a bit notable for at least being metallic. Appearance would be good on other beers, but hardly minimally adequate for a "Tripel".
Very average.

Deep golden color with a very thin whitish head. Strong alcohol and medicine-like flavor. A bit bitter, perhaps some yeast. A poor version of the style.

In effetti pensavo decisamente meglio, invece è abbastanza improponibile, a parte l’aspetto...
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Kosmokrator (50) - Legnano, ITALY - APR 15, 2012
UPDATED: MAY 16, 2012 In bottiglia. Bel colore arancione con media schiuma bianca. Aroma di lieviti, bucce d’arancia e fiori; sapore medio-dolce con note maltose e fruttate. Al palato è morbida e sufficientemente corposa ma il finale è veramente "breve" con un fastidioso retrogusto amarognolo un po’ appiccicoso.

Bottle. Pours a dark golden colour with a thin head, plenty of fruit and malt and alcohol in the aroma, the taste is of light malts with a dry bitter finish.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 sebletitje (4391) - Enghien, BELGIUM - FEB 25, 2011
Bouteille 75cl partagée avec Tomaz.
Couleur cuivre léger et pas vraiment grand chose de ’blonde’, mousse épaisse blanche.
Arôme m’a de suite rappelé ces bières belges vers lesquelles je tends à ne pas m’attarder, càd celles dont le nez donne un terrible relent de fructose. Dans ce mixe, je note un peu de malt type pils, un peu de caramel allant sur la pomme caramélisée.
En bouche, même problème, une bi!re dont le malt glucosé allant vers le sucre brun est trop dominant avec un arrière-goût de fruit et caramel. Garde un fini métallique pils. Je n’y ai pas vraiment retrouvé quoique ce soit de triple ni dans le profile de la levure.

Cette biere presente des notes carmelisees, assez simples avec une predominance sucree assez forte. Le glucose (present dans des bieres belges aussi en triple), n’a apparemment pas totalement eu le temps de se changer en alcool, la biere offre donc peu d’aromes suprenants, pas d’accroche. La longueuer en bouche est faible, pour les aromes comme pour l’alcool. Bref, c’est un peu plat, pour une triple classifiee "biere de garde". Cette biere n’est pas trop mauvaise, mais le contenu ne correspond pas rellement a ce qui se trouve ecrit sur la bouteille. Elle etait assez peu petillante et vite plate et le col n’a pas tenu longtemps, de plus une biere de garde qui "perime" en janvier 2011, alors qu’achetee en 2010, c’est marrant. Bof donc, peu mieux faire.

Bouteille: Golden, a bit unclear, small white head with a little lace; sweet honeyish-bisquity nose with a light grainy and hoppy background; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; sweet bisquity-grainy finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Well drinkable, but a bit flat.....
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 MoritzF (7342) - Bochum, GERMANY - NOV 30, 2010
(bottle, 75cl) Hazy, golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Yeasty, slightly bready and grainy malty aroma with citric and slightly spicy hoppy spots. Sweet flavour with a tinge of sourness, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly bready malty and citrus-fruity taste with a tinge of spicy hops; moderately sweet malty and fruity finish with a mildly spicy hoppy bite. 10.XI.10
