Although sold as a triple it really is a blond at 6.5% alc. The appearance is as you would expect from a triple, but the first nose gives no tones as well as the first sip. The beer has a light sweet rather bland taste with no real after bitters as should be expected. A beer I will not remember.

Brewery tap. Blonde and very cloudy. The beer is, I think, still very young. Delicate mandarin aroma and flavor, attacted by some yeast character. Fruity sweetish flavor. The ABV seems much lower than it really is. The beer is smooth and goes down very easy. Hint of hops. Not oozing with quality, but certainly pleasant.

On tap @ Wildeman. Aroma is lactic and butter. Hazy, orange coloured, good lace. Taste is sweet, lactic and butter. some citrus, some yeast. Not good.
