Dec 27, 2007 The stopped selling this in Oregon for some reason. Pours cloudy dull orange with a tall off-white head. Nose of spices, tropical fruit, bread, and apples. High carbonation keeps this beer fizzy on the palate and amplifies the spicy textures. No excess alochol present, very crisp tripel. Woody flavor towards the finish melds with the spiciness, dry and a slight grape flavor shows in the finish.

Dec 26, 2007 Updated: Dec 7, 2008Very much like the Oerbier but with some lemon rind and breadyness. Pleasant. Once again, that super full body and hop bite is present like in all of De Dolle’s Masterpieces. The beer is truly beautiful. Very yellow-copper than is so thick it looks like lemonade with thick creamer poured inside. Absolutely beautiful, nearly perfect, and among the only bear of which I will suck down a six-inch head to get to the beautiful liquid beneath with pleasure. Beautiful, pleasureful, describe this beer.

Dec 25, 2007 From bottle at the trappist in Oakland. High carbonation, excellent head. Very ripe fruit flavors, especially tangerine. Nice bready, doughy notes in the aroma. Extremely low hop flavor and aroma as you might expect. Nice and dry, but not bone dry. I really enjoyed this beer.

Dec 22, 2007 330 ml bottle purchased at Spirits RB. Pours a brownish orange solid body with an enormous pure white super dense, rocky, frothy, large bubble having, incredible staying power showing, great lace leaving head. (Is that enough adjectives for ya) Fruity yeasty aroma with notes of apple, banana, white grapes, pine apple and sugar. Full mouth feel with rather lively carbonation and some noticable alcohol warmth on the back of your throat. Grainy bready flavor with notes of yeast and possibly a slight touch of apple but no where near as fruity or sweet as the aroma. Solid beer. Drank this while watching Live Free or Die Hard, if I wasn’t trying to lose wait it would of been LIve Free and Drink Hard but I’m trying to keep it to just a few beers today.
