Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The look is cloudy, white head, and golden in color. The smell is spices, malts, fruits, cream, and marshmellow. The taste is sweet, fruits, and malts.

5/30/12. 22oz bomber. Hazy orange pour with a small khaki head. Huge fruity aroma with bits of sour and candy sugar. Tamer flavor with more fruitiness and bold malt and sugar. A tad sweet and fruity.

22oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Pours deep copper with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of spicy yeast, caramel malts, and a bit of floral hops. Flavor the same, with the sugar a little overpowering. Average texture. A decent beer but not the best of its style.

22 oz bomber - pours light orange with lots of carbonation, a medium head and average lacing. Has an orange peel aroma and an apricot-orange taste to it. Has a medium-heavy mouthfeel to it.

22 ounce bottle - $5.99 at Olde Crabapple Bottle Shoppe in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Appearance: Pours out a ever so slightly hazed, dark gold body with a foamy, barely off-white head.

Smell: Spicy, sweetish nose housing notes of Granny Smith apple slices, faux berries, gum, pineapple packed in heavy syrup, and a clearing shot of ethanol.

Taste: Sugar encrusted pale, grainy malts with a big splash of green apple cider. Then, a bit of strawberry gum, peppercorns, and a hit of fairly warming alcohol. Also, some pineapple along with a big rebound of sweetness. Slightly acidic throughout. Sweetish, warm, fruity finish with more of that chewing gum accent riding out leisurely into the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-plus carbonation.

Overall: Yule Tide falls somewhere between "acceptable" and "okay," which, to be honest, exceeded my expectations.

2011 bottle. Very thick but in a good way. There was a nice lacing down the glass and the alcohol did not drown it out. I rarely enjoy Tripels as much as i did this one.

Bottle. Perfumy and malty alcohol nose. Cloudy orange colour. Very small white head. The flavour is nicely fruity with a good alcohol note. The flavour is better than the aroma. Good alcohol level for this beer, but it is a bit sweet.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty and light toasted malty flavoured. Sweet and toasted malty flavoured. Bitter and slight citric finish.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of GT2. Pours a hazy golden with an off-white head. Very, very sweet fruity with spices. Medium body, cloyingly sweet with heavy spices, lots of white sugar and yeast. Warming alcohol. Too sweet to be truly enjoyable. 180212
