Bottle with a best before date of July 2012. Pours with a hazy, deep golden hued body with a large, rocky and long lasting egg-shell hued white head. Noticeable effervescence. Aromas of esters, resembling pears and light citrus. A bit of a grainy/bready malt profile sticks out. Candi sugars and a slight sweetness. A bit musty. Light peppery phenols, clove, alcohol and a touch of spicy hops. Flavors are candied fruits, citrus and tangerine with an estery profile and light alcohol spiciness. Peppery phenols pair well with the alcohol spice. A bit too sweet for my taste in tripels. Bready malt profile. Not much hop flavor or bitterness. Some nice warmth, good duration and an alcohol and estery finish. Not quite dry enough, and a bit more body than most tripels. Lively carbonation. Somewhat creamy. Decent.

draft @ Moeder Lambic Dorée blanche Arôme a un nez de bubble-gum, levure fruitée avec présence de grains. Une bière avec des notes typique du style triple, levure belge et qcq esters fruité, alcool se ressent bien, houblon laisse une fine amertume, profile malt léger avec note de caramel le tout gardant une présence du blé/orge pour un palais épais.

Bottle 33cl. A cloudy light amber beer with huge head and good lacing. Nose is on sweets and orange like. Aroma is sweet, malty, wheat like, good deep body, intense bitterness associated with an orange fruit bouquet and cardamom spice. Very drinkable triple beer, alcohol is well hidden, spicy hops.

33cl bottle. Large off-white head, cloudy amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, straw/yeast, some lemon/orange. Taste is moderately sweet, cantaloupe, some orange, light yeast, alcohol. Medium body.

Call me strange but this was kinda too high in the Diacetyl. Not bad - definitely not salty. Sharp hop with sweet note. Seems a lot like New Belgium in malt profile.

Pours a hazy orange with fluffy, dense bubbles. Tons of tiny bubbles rising through the beer have a champagne effect. Deep, complex yeasty aroma. Full mouthfeel leads to a chewy biscuit and some high fruit. Massive carbonation. Slightly tangy finish.

Golden pour with a lot of white head. Nose is yeasty, almost champagne-like. bitter with a dry quick finish. Dry not sweet! Nothing completely outstanding but i like it dry so i was a good surprise.

Clear dark golden body, quite a small head. Maybe too cold because there’s little aroma as well. Some peach, grass. Rich sweetness, tat bit too much alcohol. Fatty, tasty afterwards. Decent tripel. (On tap at De Bonte Koe)

Bottle. Golden orange colour with a thin head. Aroma and flavour of malt, yeast, spice, fruit and hops.

Orange coloured beer, with a to small head. The smell is not bad, sweet frutis, yeast and spices. Also the alcohol finds his way up. Decent malty taste, pretty good hopped and spiced. The aftertaste starts a bit to watery-sweet to change to light bitter-earthy.
