Tap@Dronning Louise, Fanø Tap Takeover. Pours muddy copper with no head. Aroma is sweet caramel, banana, bubblegum and heavy fruit. Flavour is sweet banana, caramel, yeast, bubblegum and heavy fruit. Way to sweet.

Draught @ Viisi Penniä, Helsinki. Poured dark amber with a cramy, white lasting head. Aroma has similarity to some white vines, with light sourness and also quite fruity. Lovely aroma. Flavor was sweet fruity, lactose, caramel. Smooth long caramelly finish. Weird combination, but I liked this one a lot.

(Draught) Hazy medium amber with a small head. Aroma of wild yeast, ripe fruit, and a touch of diacetyl. Flavor is peachy-ice-creamy-ripe-fruity, like most beers I’ve encountered with "lambic yeast" mix used, but there is no sourness/tartness, IMO. Medium to full body, soft CO2. Leaves sticky lips behind. Strangely, I didn’t really get the white grapes in this, but the "lambic yeast" dominates. Maybe it’s the stickiness. Ok, but not comparable with anything Belgian. 6136

(Draught at Oluttupa Viisi Penniä, 20120412) The beer poured brown and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, honey, vineousness and hint of malts. Palate was medium bodied and quite dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were vineousness, sweetness, fruitiness, malts and low bitterness. Afteraste was vineous, sweet and bitter. Very different tripel but good for my taste.

Dronning Louise, Esbjerg, DK. Tap, 160212. Light amber with white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Flavor with spices and presence of grapes.

Muddy amber with a tiny white head. Malty and grainy aroma with dark sugar. Sweet yeasty-fruity flavour with quite a bit of sugar sweetness and unfermented wort.

On tap. Pours a cloudy amber with a tiny off-white head. Very sweet fruity nose, quite plummey. Medium-bodied, rather low in carbonation, flavour of sweet plums and a little yeast and....that’s about it. Absolutely no bitterness and hardly a Tripel, 170212

Bottle. Baking yeast aroma, a little brown sugar. Muddy brown colour. The flavour is sweet with a little brown sugar. The suspended yeast gives a baking yeast note. Does not taste 9% at all.
