Light sweet/sour aroma. Yeasty, honey sweetness, with lemony astringent hops. Candy sugar, perhaps. Fruity. Golden amber clear, with just a little haze, topped with a foamy white lacing head. Medium body with vibrant carbonation and light carbonic burn. Starts sweet, with honey and yeast, carbonic acidity and mild bitterness. Toffee. Finish is mild bitter with some grain and yeasty taste. Alcohol warming. After is sweet and mild, with honey and mild bitterness. A nice tripel.

Backlog december 2011 Bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika Medium/full body & complexity Ok belgian beer, but not impressed by this producer

Took me a while to get the hang of this beer. Good color and god foam, but some undefined taste. Bitter, but something else, sweet but no fruit - caramel perhaps. Nice lasting taste.

Bottle. Light golden, hazy, average and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty - some wheat and sweetish aroma, fruitiness, light spiciness (coriander and faint pepper), light citrus and hoppyness, light yeast. Body is medium, malty - some wheat and sweetish flavor, fruitiness and light caramel with light spiciness. Finish is average, malty - lightly wheaty and sweetish, some fruitiness and light caramel, light spiciness and light alcohol. Fruity and sweetish tripel - alcohol and spiciness make the finish little drier. Quite sweet, anyway.

Hazy golden coloured which pours with a large foamy head. It has a spicy fruity body, banana and vanilla notes and a warming slight floral fruity finish.

Well, it looks like a tripel, with a slightly hazy golden body and a white, long-lived head that laces the glass excellently. The aroma however is a bit of a let down. Sure there are pleasant yeasty notes, herbs and spices, but also a strange butterish sweetness. The taste is initially medium to light sweet, with some acidity and a light bitterness. The bitterness grows somewhat in the aftertaste, and the acidity is also still present. Faint flavours of spices, yeast, herbs, resin and alcohol. Quite dry finish with chalky notes. A decent beer, but I don’t think the acidity was a good idea. There are far better tripels out there.
[33 cl bottle, enjoyed 1 year before BB date, from Vinmonopolet Vika, Oslo]

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is very nice Belgian yeast and pils malt. Flavor is sugary with some malts and a very minor hop. Finish is sweet but dry. Not the best or most flavorful triple but has a few things going for it.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2012 Bottle.....It pours hazy golden with a large white fluffy head with lacing.....The aroma is sweet, alcohol and fruit the flavor is sweet, fruity and Belgian yeast... very nice mouthfeel.... ;)

33 cl. bottle @ home. Golden with a big white head. Faint yeast smell with minor floral fragrances. A bit of ctrus in the taste and some alcoholburn. Overall a decent but not entirely balanced tripel.

Big soapy white head over an almost clear, yellow body. Dusty aroma with some light applely fruit, sand, lemon and canned sweet corn. Light sweet taste with very heavy carbonation. White sugar and foamy mouthfeel. Sticky texture with the sharp carbonation coming through. Looks boring, smells mild and tastes standard. Next. (33cl bottle, 2,00 EUR)
