750 Bottle...Off-white head that shrinks to a cm...cloudy golden body--close to copper...clove in the nostrils and whiffs of orange tucked into a fresh yeast bed....as it sits those scents mingle and become intensified...Wow holy carbonation...after I get over it, the same aromas come through to the tongue, with a slight addition of malt...a combined sour + citrus finish with a yeasty bite, its good...pretty typical for this style...extreme carbonation is a bit of a turn off though....as it sits, way more yeast protrudes into the aroma and flavor...also the massive carbonation subsides as it sits...props to the disguised alcohol...lacing is also weak...very similar on draft

Oct 5, 2008 (Bottle, 0.33 l, at Tuulensuu, Tampere, on 2008-10-04) Golden. Hazy. Small white head. Fruity and sweet nose. Medium bodied palate with some carbonation. Sweetness,bitterness, hops and fruitiness in taste. Long lasting fruity and bitter aftertaste.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle from Dranken Geers. Hazy gold, no head. Maybe not the greatest version of this beer, really a little flat as a beer, carbonation stings like a bugger, but throws no head. Maybe the bottle fermentation didn’t take well. Very fruity. Not much of the 9% ABV comes through. Very metallic due to over carbonation.

Sep 18, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy deep golden with a white head that fades to a strong film. Interesting aroma- vanilla wafers, rubber bands, buttery pale Belgian malts, and white pepper. The carbonation is lively, yet remains creamy. The flavor has a mild sweetness upfront, reminiscent of vanilla wafers. It also has a nice Belgian yeast character which is slightly musty and earthy- which later offers some peppery phenolic character and other various spice notes. Has a nice rounded Belgian pale malt emphasis, with less sweetness than many other Tripels. Pretty solid.
