Bottle... Mostly-clear golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Fantastic retention. The nose furnishes tropical fruit, apricot, and musky, peppery notes. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. The flavor is a merger of hopped-up bitterness, and biscuit and honey sweetness. Crisp, bittersweet finish... the bitterness lingers a good while.

Typical Citra hop noze with full grapefruit aroma and a touch of lemon. Cloudy golden color with small head. Explosion of tropical fruits like mango, melon and grapefruit. Complexity of flavors is remarquable. A perfect mix of bitterness and flavors. A real delight for palate. De la grande bière!!!

Golden orange pour with small off white head. Aroma of malts, fruity, grapefruit and hops. Taste of honey, ripe fruit, grapefruit and orange peel. Confused about this being classified a triple as this is clearly a DIPA. Not Diue du Ciel’s best effort from this great brewery.

very good, on tap at WVRST. Really hoppy and drinkable, the combination makes for a strong contender as a great Belgian IPA. Funky aroma. Orange colour. Thick lace sheet.Above average mouthfeel.

Taster at Balthazar. Blond/hay, quickly fading white head, quite hazy. Aroma is really somewhere between citrus, grass and ammonia (!). Not sure if the latter is good. Taste is pretty .... actually surprisingly straightforward, when considering the rest : there is honey, raisins, hay and fruit esters.... pretty much everything for everyone, not just sure if everything blends that well. The key here is the palate -- it would seem like the finish hits really early (... and extremely dry), but then the post-finish (!!!) hits with some really subtle, but extremely pleasant cherry notes. All in all -- nor for anyone, and a bit of a letdown considering it’s DDC, but still a rather good and very complex brew.

Aroma: cat pee (surprisingly), spruce, very complex. Taste: very bitter, grapefruit. Palate: destruction!! Drink it last, because the aroma and the taste are very intense!

Pours a slightly syrupy, lightly carbonated clear amber with thin but lingering head. Huge aroma of tropical fruits as soon as the bottle opens. Touch of citrus. In the mouth it skews more towards the malts, which are quite sweet. Mouthfeel is rich and syrupy. Warming alcohol. Bitter finish. Well balanced. Don’t really get the belgian character much, it comes across as a DIPA or big american barley wine.

341 ml bottle from Broue Ha Ha, served cool in a tulip glass. 05MA12.

App.: Clear very deep golden with a fair light tan-yellowish head. Aroma: Strong, boozy, thick, lemony, zesty, citrus, resinous, sweet honey, floral notes, big, evergreen/pine/resin, bright, some esters, wow. Palate: Medium+ body, full effervescence. Flav.: Peppery, spicy, sweet, dank and resinous, lemony, boozy, thick and rich, huge, honey and floral notes, so persistent, peppery, etc.; sweet, boozy, fairly bitter, fruity, wow again.

A huge and quite hoppy Tripel. My kinda beer!

One of my favourite beer. Aroma of fruits and hops. When you look at it, the color is orange and hazy. A taste divine, fruity and bitter. It is a really beautiful experience in the palate. A must taste!

Bottle. Cloudy or very hazy dark amber with a growing layer of foam. Strong hop aroma with lots of citrus some nice malt backing and alcohol note. The scent makes me think of a spiked orange cocktail. Big hop presence in the mouth and a big funky yeast taste that ties back into the nose. A bit dirty and American for the style but tasty.
