Ygberg (82), Sweden Sep 16, 2009 Aroma of hops, yeas, citrus and grass. Apperance yellow with medium white head. Flavor is sweet and bitter with hints of citrus. Overall a diseppointment, the IPA-flavors don’t raise the borring taste of tripple. Jukkabro (2981), Tampere, Finland Sep 16, 2009 Dark yellow colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized white head. Rich hopped aroma with grass and flowers, some fruity tones with peach and orange peel, also some tripel spiciness, mild alcohol and even some vinous tones come up. Excellent aroma. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is similar with sweet fruity start, aftertaste turns to dry hopped with flowers, spices, yeast and lemon last. Excellent brew. VTHopHead (895), Barre, Vermont, USA Sep 13, 2009 Draft - Poured at beautiful golden amber in color with a large, thick white head that hung around to produce a lot of lacing on the glass. Aroma was quite yeasty (classic Belgian) with plenty of fruity esters... grapes, apple... and a small amount of grassy hops. Flavor was much more about the fruitiness and yeast than it was about hops. Hop flavor and bitterness were much more muted than I expected. Some of the hop bitterness appears that the end. Interesting new approach to beer... natejgood (188), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 11, 2009 I was a bit surprised by this beer. I know it is not an american IPA, but I was expecting a bit more hop flavor. Pours golden with a light white head. Nice flavor, but a bit yeasty for me. This is a good beer, but I was not as impressed as I was hoping for. Linnet (107), , Sweden Sep 11, 2009 Golden colour, small white head, lots of lacing. Smells of grass, straw and yeast although less than is usual for the style, smells almost more like a well hopped pilsner than a tripel. Flavour is also hoppy and is also reminiscent of a pilsner more than a tripel although the yeastiness is there in the background. Mouthfeel is average with small crisp bubbles. Overall more interesting than well tasting, I don’t join the hype, but it is still worth a try. jfb (412), Weihenstephan, Germany Sep 11, 2009 (bottle) pours a hazy golden colour with lots of small hop particles in suspension and a frothy white head. aroma of green grapes, yeast, cardamom, dry herbs, grass and spices. flavour is the same, with some notes of alcohol and citrus. medium to strong body with medium carbonation and a nice bitter finish. eManu (170), Brussels, Belgium Sep 9, 2009 Draft. Hazy pale orange with a nice thick white head, that last till the end.
Aroma if very floral and fruity and fresh.
Flavors of very present hops and some fruits and spices with a very well balanced taste. The taste is quite complex and original with a feel of findind different flavors as I drink this beer. The taste last long in mouth and is very enjoyable. This has been one of the best new beers this year. I love it and want more. reserva (30), Oud-Turnhout, Belgium Sep 7, 2009 pale, golden, cloudy, white foam, citrus, herbs, light sweetness, medium bitterness, full body, creamy, average carbonation, bitter, long finish,
