3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(330ml bottle, best by 12/11 thanks to bu11zeye) golden color with effervescent bubbles and a lasting creamy head. Nose of cereal grain and mash and honey. Taste of honey, bread, moderately bitter hops, a bit of hairspray as well. Nice honey finish though, mild bitterness in the palate linger.

caramel, bread, grass, barnyard, amber, hazy, frothy, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, thin feel, lively, This is what Westmalle festival beer would taste like. Wattered down version of something that tastes promesing
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
I don’t know what to make of this beer. It’s an unfiltered beer and i could not get a head out of it. Not a good start. Smell is a bit strange, metallic or chemical but some spices in there. Tastes like i just bit into a grapfruit...sour then bitter and sweet at the end. The mouthfeel was good though, finishes pretty clean and dry. Oveall: atypical triple. I don’t know whether what they are trying to do is good or bad, but there are plenty other triples i prefer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy gold with white head. Decent strong ale, but nothing special. Malty sweetness, a bit of caramel, some spicing. Tried on a few occasions in Amsterdam but most recently at the proeflokaal.

5/IV/2012 - 75cl bottle @ Klaas’ place - BB: X/11 (2012-331) Thanks to Jan for sharing the beer!
Little cloudy dark yellow to light orange beer, small off-white head, unstable, dissipates quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: some citrus, little sweet, sugary, bit fruity, some peaches. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus, little sweet, sugary, some bitterness and some fruitiness, lime. Aftertaste: sweet, bit sugary, some citrus, slightly bitter. Not really exciting, exactly like the label. :p

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at de Prael Proeflokaal, Amsterdam on 15th March 2012. Hazy gold with rapidly thinning white head and the odd spot of lacing. Very yeasty aroma with cheesy notes. Liquid is tangy, citric and carries notes of dry mixed herbs. Very bitter finish; zingy mouthfeel.

4.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Wild, lactic, sour aroma. Super hazy gold in color with a solid white head. Smooth orange peeltaste but dry with a distinct finish of brett. Very much like an orval....extremely close but softer. EXCELLENT!
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light golden colour and medium white head. The overall flavour is sweet with some grain notes, and slightly bitter aftertaste (subtle). Easy to drink and refreshing; nice tripel.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at De Prael cafe/bar, Amsterdam, 02.03.12 Hazy golden appearance with a filmy white head, in fact this looks a bit egg yolky in colour. Soft in the mouth, and very easy to get on with. This is a little yeasty come to think of it all of these beers have a definate yeasty lilt. Some vanilla and a little alcoholic warmth come through. A6 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.5
