UPDATED: OCT 10, 2010 Gushing to fluffy pistacchio-yellow head over fully hazy yellow beer. Very fine pearling carbonation comes into the nose, with way too much coriander, perfumed. Coriander, lavender, perfumed to the gills. It is like drinking toilet disinfectant or the parafernalia of a 17-yr. old girl. Medium bodied, slick, sticky; the perfume going on and on in the aftetaste. Really horrible.
It would appear that I had a pre-edition, which might have been different from the later version, as it did not carry the "Platinum" moniker, but was just presented as "Triplex Christmas". The beer would need to be retried, obviously...

Bevuta in bottiglia, bel colore ambrato con non molta schiuma di grana fine ma molto persistente. Offre grandi profumi di agrumi e frutta esotica ben matura, in bocca risulta essere leggermente dolce (essendo una birra di Natale) ma con buoni sapori di frutta matura per rilasciare un gradevole agrumato sul finale.
