Bottle. Alcohol and big pils malt nose with some light vanilla and yeast. Golden pour with a quick-scattering beige head, relatively noisy going. Crisp, sharp attack, big alcohol which is surprisingly well--integrated (warms the cheeks and throat tenderly but doesn’t burn or sting). Some light fruit but otherwise this is all malt and alcohol, with only a light hop/yeast prick in the finish. Dryish with a medium-full body. I liked drinking this more than the rating implies, but I’m not going after it again.

Bottle@Home. Sweet citrus aroma. Light hazy, yellow, small off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, bitter, hint of fruity sourness, quite malty, citrus. Pretty alcoholic, flat. Bit nasty bitter in the finish. Quite plain.

So so. Not much aroma, cold or warm. Pour is amber with little head. Flavor is OK. Warming alcohol on the throat gives it a bit of a bite. Lots of other better examples.

from Drinks of the World, Bern - cloudy golden-orange colour with a poor head retention; esters and yeast with a touch of candi sugar and pear in the nose; lively palate with chewy malts; solid sweet maltiness with a moderate late bitterness; moderately dry finish with fruity and spicy notes

Bottle (12oz). Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with tons of tiny sediment and a small diminishing frothy white head. Aroma, which is a bit mild for a Tripel, is sugary sweet, fruity and yeasty along with a hint of floral hops and some alcohol -- it’s not bad, just mild. Flavour starts sugary sweet and alcoholic -- which I’m not crazy about -- followed by fruit and some light hops in the finish. Needs more carbonation. Average bodied. Just O.K.

12oz bottle. Thick orange-tan color with no real head. No solid carbonation in the mouthfeel either. Sweet sugary aroma. The taste is sweet with faint hint of sourness. Pretty odd interpretation really, but not entirely unenjoyable. A tad too astringent, hops perhaps. Sub-par for the style all the way, but a decent brew nonetheless.
