Papsoe (10423), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 10, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) Strongly hazed beer, greyish brown - river water appearance - actually this looks pretty disgusting (as most Decas). Fruity nose, full very malty body with a strong hop-bite in the finish. Not a bad beer but certainly not the most refined either. 200299 oh6gdx (6339), Vaasa, Finland Apr 30, 2008 Bottled. Hazy golden/orange color, big creamy white head. Aroma is barnyard,some grains, hay and mild fruits. Flavour has sweet fruityness mixed with earth and some hayishness. The finish gets quite flowery and bitter with earthyness underlying. Mild notes of alcohol are also to be found. TBone (5116), Pori, Finland Sep 13, 2006 Bottled, 0,75 ltr (BB 04/2007).
Hazy orange color, good white creamy head. Hayish, metallic aroma with notes of barnyard, cardboard and fruits. Medium-bodied. Some sweet fruityness is mixed with iron, earth, citrus and hay. Bitterness in the finish. BB 2007 (or 2006? not sure) may indicate this being vintage from 3-4 years ago? Corked bottle may have produced some earthy notes. Not the most balanced tripel. Bov (4659), Bienne, Switzerland Dec 10, 2003 cloudy amber-orange colour with a fine head, strong nutty aroma, alochol and bready notes, oily and full-bodied, dry and bitter with a long nutty and burning alcohol finish - powerfull but one-dimensional JorisPPattyn (4500), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 27, 2008 Huge, very dense & fine yellowish head over fully hazy orange beer. Sharp, spicy-malty nose, slighlty sourish-greenery, bit of caramel. Sharp roasted malts’ taste, but with a good, if uneasy, balance between sweet-sour and a suggestion of bitterness. Alcohol obvious in taste and MF, liqueurish; grainy esters if that makes sense. Sharp MF, burning, well bodied and slick. Better than expected, there seems to be indeed a difference with the Antiek blond.
