Bottled 330ml. -from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam as Jambe-de-Bois Tripel. Cloudy yellow coloured, medium sized airy white head that went away slowly, spicy citrusy nose. Spicy, yeasty and fruity with hint of alcohol in rather hoppy finish.

A tripel blond beer with copper reflexion and a big white head. Smell: great complexity with hop and yeast. Taste: good surprise, hops and orange. Aftertaste : hops.

Bottle 355 ml. Pours hazy golden with a small white head. Some lacing. Sweet aroma of belgian yeast, malt, honey and banana. Sweet taste at beginning with a strong bitter end. Malt, herbal/floral notes, and fruits are present in taste. Lively carbonation. Medium duration of aftertaste. Warming alcohol. Medium body. Mouthfeel start creamy but end dry. Nice complexity but balance could be better. Not exactly what I expect from a Tripel, but it’s a good beer. Share many characteristics with Saison type of beer.

En oljig kombination av saison, tripel och IPA. En tydlig beska, IPA karaktären tar över lite för mycket men väldigt bra i det stora hela.

Tap. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of citrus, yeast, hops and malt.

Draught @ Ølfestival Kobenhavn.

Aroma is rather light with wheat and citrus. Flavour has lots of grassy hops, some citrus. Dry finish with hops. Nice and refreshing, lacks the soapy citrus tripels usually have.

Pours a hazy and golden beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, fruit, yeast, sweetness, spices, coriander and notes of alcohol. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness. Overall a good beer.

Pours yellow with a large white head. Aroma is malt, fruity yeast and light alcohol. Flavour is malt, alcohol and fruity yeast.

Schiuma persistente. Aroma di agrumi, geranio, malto e luppoli erbacei. Al gusto sentori di spezie e pepe, con un grande amaro da luppoli freschi

Bottle at ZBF’12, Leuven: Hazy orange coloured brew with an taste of grapefruit, citrus wich give the beer pretty bitter taste. And this Dutchman survived the degustation barely.
