Sep 30, 2009 Beervana 09. No notes on appearance. Corrianda and fruity citrus esters on the nose. Strong tripel-like yeast flavour, but with pleanty of wheat-beer characteristics. A noticable alcoholic flavour.

Sep 21, 2009 2L rigger from Regional Wines, sent to Dunedin from Donfardz64!
Aroma is reminiscent of both a tripel and a strong witbier. Orange aromas mingling with bubblegum and candi sugar. Lots of alcohol, too.
Flavours are sweet and alcoholic. Lots of yeast, banana/bubblegum esters (wondering if they used a wit yeast or a tripel yeast?). Lots of citrus peel bitterness, small amount of hops.
Nice full body, warming with the alcohol and a spicy note. Quite sweet, but I could probably drink this for hours (if I could last that long with 8% abv...)
