Bottle courtesy bu11zeye. Best by Aug 2012. Slightly hazy golden orange color. White ring of head. Aroma of dry grains, wheat, clay earth and a small bit of spice. Flavor is very dry grain with a spicy fruit touch. Finishes a dry tingle that lingers for awhile.

(330ml bottle, BB Aug 2012) Pours a hazy orange body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of florals, pineapple, coconut, toasted grain, melon, caramel, raisins, and some herbs. Flavor of bread, banana, orange, grain, tropical fruits, and light butterscotch.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, cloudy yellow with a sweet peach and citrus aroma, flavors of pineapple upside down cake, bananas, nice finish

Thanks to Marcus. This beer pours a muddy yellow with a thin white head. The aromas are lemon zest, old closet. The mouthfeel is slightly sticky with medium body. Cheers!

In short: A full-body tripel style Belgian Ale. Nice beer.
How: From a big bottle (750ml?) at BCTC 2010
The look: Clear orange-blonde body topped by a long-lasting small beige head
In long: Nose of sweet malts and bananas bringing a sensation of one of those fried banana dessert (really!). Taste is sweet and very fruity. Banana cake, bananas peels, lemon, yeast. The crisp wheat-style malt backbone and the grassy/citrusy hops makes the beer feel bright and refreshing despite the sweetness. The body was great, full and the carbonation was very lively. I tried the beer because it was unusual and I ended-up enjoying it quite a bit. That’s what beer festivals are for. Trying new unknown beers. I love beer festvivals, you’ll never find a nicer bunch of dysfunctional, socially maladapted and sexually frustrated deviants outside of organised religion.

Draft @ Emelisse oktoberfest. Murky amber orange, large tanned head. Aroma is faint poperingse hop, some malt and yeast. Flavour is medium sweet, light bitter, more bitterness in the finish. Flavour is poperingse hop, good malt backbone, some caramel and spice. Very nice balance.

On tap at Emelisse Oktoberfest. Hazy copper orange colour, dense white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity, ripe fruits, light spicy, some alcohol. Flavour is sweet, fruity, soft spicy, slick, fullbodied. Good tripel style ale.

Bottle at Emelisse Oktoberfest 2010. Slightly sweet and grainy brew, somewhat strange tripel, but a decent brew overall.

Bottled 330ml (Beer Planet, BB 08/2012)
Hazy dark orange color, thick off-white head. Grainy and berryish aroma. Medium to full bodied, quite crisp. Flavor is also berryish, ryeish with wheatish banana notes. In this beer you can taste all three grains used! A bit too yeasty for my liking.

(Draught) Opaque amber with a medium, lacy and lasting head. Mild aroma of fruity maltiness. Flavor is candy-caramely-malty with some acidity, but balanced by sweetness. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. An obvious competitor to Tripel Karmeliet, but not quite there yet. 5347
