3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a nice hazy golden yellow color, with a nice frothy white head. Aroma is fairly sweet and yeasty. With floral, fruity, spicy and malty notes. Flavor is quite sweet malty, and yeasty dough. I get some spice like clove, but not much. It is fairly fruity and floral. Not any particular fruits, but fruity in general. There is also some mildy bitter hops in the aftertaste. Body is medium with a fairly creamy mouthfeel, with a very lively carbonation. Overall a solid Tripel, but not the best i ever had. Lacks both spice and yeast.

Bouteille de 33 cl de chez Casino à Cernier (CH). Jaune d’or, pétillement agréable sous une somptueuse mousse blanche tenace. Les parfums révèlent un corps puissant, des esters, baignés de caramel et d’orange. Le goût est vif avec une dominante douce et sucrée, agrume, épices et légère amertume. Ronde aux saveurs d’alcool, elle se borde de miel, vanille, banane et amande. Fin chaude et voluptueuse, pointe de sécheresse.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at home, best before 07-2009. Hazy golden pour, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of fruits, sugar and spices and slightly sour. Flavor is mostly sweet with sugar and some malts, slightly sour as well. Bittersweet finish. A bit out of balance, but maybe just not well aged.

Bottle. Whoa this sucks. Pours a clear yellow with an okay white head that leaves okay lace. Aroma is corn, sugar, light maltiness. Taste is loaded with candi sugar, booze, and not much else. Ick.
