Dec 14, 2008 Bottled fliptop, alc. 7.5 %. BB 04/2009.
Clear amber color, small white head. Crystal sugary sweety aroma. Hoppy, alcoholic, a bit fruit sugary. Long harsh and caramelly aftertaste. Certainly tastes like a bock. Kind of watery and uninspiring.

Sep 25, 2008 (Draught@Arendsnest) Hazy golden with a medium, firm and lacy head. Sweetish, pale-malty, grainy aroma with spicy notes. Sweetish-malty, honeyish, pear-orange-fruity flavor with low bitterness and mild acidity. Hides the alcohol well. Medium body with quite high, but soft carbonation. A typical Dutch tripel (or any other beer style): sweetish and grainy with slight vegetably notes. Drinkable, but dull.

Sep 20, 2008 On tap at Arendsnest. Pours hazy with a nice, lacing head. Nice fruity, grassy and spicy aroma. Complex spicy flavours blending with fruit. Semi-dry. A Dutch tripel that impresses.
