SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy Jul 28, 2007 Bottle: Poured a golden color with a fast acting white creamy head also as you reach the end of the bottle the sediment begins to appear. The aroma is a citrus of some sort and spicy yeast. The taste is very sweet fruity spice, there is also that yeasty taste to it as it finishes. Another fine sample by De Dolle to grace my lips. EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Jul 28, 2007 Bottle. Sweet aroma, yeast with lemon and orange peel, bready and full. Angular coriander. Pepper and apple and a touch of alcohol. Very heavily sedimented orange-golden pour with a big soapy, fizzy off-white head. Big, bold taste, boozy sweetness behind yeast, crème brûlée, vanilla, lemon and orange, coriander, ginger. Loaded with fruity esters and floral spices, wildly robust and assertive. Sweet and tart. Full body begins crisply but smooths out, warms by the end as the rush of alcohol makes its presence known. Er, I mean burns the throat. Aftertaste is yeasty, bready, and somewhat dry. Tons going on here, yet a lovely, flavorful blend seems as natural and simple as can be. A tripel to recommend! altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jul 27, 2007 Bottle at Gollem. Smells fruity, sweet and gummy. Quite strong. Well hidden - at first - but eventually catches up with you. A pretty good beer nonetheless. TheKegergator (241), California, USA Jul 26, 2007
Pours a murky golden color. FLOATIES!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 Smell is strong, sour fruits, light malt. Taste is very good, not as sour as the smell. Crisp fruity finish. Very good, drinkable brew. ksigty (107), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Jul 25, 2007 Great aroma of wheat and yeast. Lots of particles in the beer definitely hurts the appearance. Lots of punch to this though with a lot of flavor. Other than the particles and being a little on the strong side for my tates this was pretty solid. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Jul 25, 2007 From my fall 2006 notebook. Sweet hoppy nose on this hazy dark yellow beer. Bread like malt body with a little bit of hops. cbeers21 (563), Miami, Florida, USA Jul 22, 2007 Hazy darker golden with sizeable quickly fading head. Wheaty, and the Belgian yeasts are featured strongly. Banana, light spice aromas. The beer had a small sour crispness with apple/sweet caramel taste to a spicey drying finish with whispers of citrus and pepper. Considering the abv the alcohol is pretty well hidden, not a bad tripel for sure. Wim (1278), Turnhout, Belgium Jul 22, 2007 yellow orange lazy coloured body whit a average white head a hoppy fruity aroma a sweet fruity taste with a sweet alchoholic finich
