3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(750 ml bottle). straw yellow appearance with a thick head. For a tripel it tastes a bit thin. The yeast flavor disappears and is replaced with a faint bitterness. Tastes more like a belgian strong ale than a tripel.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
light red-brown transparent beer with a weak head. strawberry honey body in the smell, yes lots of sweet honey.
The taste is subtle sweet sour. Then its an unexpected subtle sweetness, on a body of warm grains and yeast with a very light hoppiness, almost leaning towards pure chocolate.
Nice tripel, subtly individual.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale straw-gold necator supports a foam cloud. The nose is a mix of fruit and spice- dried apricot, white raisins, musty and yeasty. Toffee and spice on the tongue… tropical fruits, lychee, melon, citrus pith, lemon Ricola… tinged with a vegetal/celery seed character. Sweetish. Genial earthy-minty bitterness. Full, airy mouthfeel. Could stand to be drier.
