Very good, yellowish tinted head over fully hazy golden beer with verdigris shine. Creamy nose, with pale malts, white candi sugar, cyanide/bitter almonds aroma. Dry-bitterish flavour, with clear references to white candi sugar. Some discreet bread flavour, undoubtedly the rye speaking - not at all unpleasant! Quite spritzy MF, reasonably attenuated, alcohol reasonably discreet. Bit unidimensional, which is not uncommon in golden tripels. More than acceptable - and I’m wondering why my senses tell me candi sugar, when apparently none is used.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2012 Bottle....It pours hazy golden with very large fluffy white head..... The aroma is fruity and dusty....The flavor is dusty, hoppy, light caramel, yeast and alcohol.....medium body .... dry and alcohol finish....

Bottle @ home. Cloudy, hazy yellow color, decent sized creamy white head. Lots of yeast particals floating around. Smell sweet, some spices and herbs. Taste sweet, hints of fruit, lightly herbs. Low carbonation, low to medium body.

Flaske 0,33l kjøpt på bryggeriet og delt med Rune på Keizsershof Hotel i Aalst 1 Mai 11. Aprikosfarget. Veldig uklar. Litt skum. Krydderaroma. Smaken litt krydder & litt frukt. Litt mye kullsyre. Krydret ettersmak.

Bottle, brought home from the brewery. Huge blond and dense head, dense like whipped cream. Body is foggy brass colored. Initial aroma of sweet bakery, fruit-cake maybe, and marzipan, offset by a scent of orange marmelade and Belgo-yeast. More than medium full. Warming mouthfeel. Taste is evenly fruity and malty. Jammy fruitiness and light sweet, light biscuity malts. An underlying earthy bitterness. Spice notes and warming alcohol in the ending. Not your everyday Tripel. Quite a fine one, though.

Bottle, served at the brewery. It pours a big, white head over a hazy, golden-orange body. Alcohol, fruityness, orange, hops and some yeast notes on the nose. The flavor has a fine bitterness towards the end, with the same fruityness and alcohol found in the aroma. Full body, pleasant carbonation and a smooth warming sensation on the palate. Except for a bit too evident alcohol, it’s a nice tripel. 110430

330 ml bottle at hotel room in Aalst. Hazy orange body with a white head. Aroma feels like sweet and spicy citric fruit, slightly funky and almost a bit perfumed. Flavor is sweet and harsh, citric and spicy. Drinkable but not really anything to applaud. Sorry, I like this brewery.

bottle at the brewery. Golden-orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, hophop, orange. Flavour is dry, alcohol, hop, citrus, orange, spices. full body. Nice beer.

330ml bottle bought at the brewery and shared with Finn. Rocky, white head, opaque golden-grey body. Smell of sweet wheat and fruits. Citrus to the taste buds added by spices, yeast and alcohol. So and so (hotel room, Aalst 01.05.2011).

Bottle. Pours murky olive brown. Off white head. Nose of earthy grass and dirt, yeast, malt and spicy hops. Taste is the same. Muted and dirty. Odd for a tripel.

Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Orangeish golden colour with some slight hazy, mediumsized white foamy head that leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet bready malts along with some spicyness and mild notes of alcohol. Flavour is sweet malts, some slight alcohol, mild spices, earth and some slight yeastyness. Also some sweet sugary notes.
