Slayer85 (872) - Firenze, - SEP 30, 2009
750 ml bottle. A hazy medium gloden beer with a medium sized, alnost creamy fully lasting white head. The aroma is nice and complex, very hoppy with an average maltiness. There are notes of flowers, grass, spices (pepper), some fruits. The flavour is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Very fresh. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, dry and long lasting finish withmedium to high bitterness. Maybe less clean bitterness than other belgian bitter beers, but very well made and dangerously drinkable.

tom10101 (209) - Quebec, CANADA - MAY 19, 2012
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.

Lilja (182) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAY 17, 2012
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.

laiti (1675) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAY 12, 2012
Draught @ Ølfestival København 2012
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.

goozen (1884) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - APR 29, 2012
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.
