Nice looking orange-blond beer with nice white head on top. Aroma has hints of cereals, honey, fruits and herbal hops. Taste is rich, warm sweet, fruity, slight spicey and has a nice bittering in the end, Hot finale too.

750 ml bottle, 2005 sampled November 2009.

What a glorious surprise. Relatively dry for the style, almost champagne-like, the hops having aged wonderfully, just a hint of sourness. Much better than my memories of it fresh (I didn’t rate that time), I’m surprised at just how much this improved from its time in the cellar. Superb mouthfeel, perfectly carbonated and with the alcohol totally mellowed and integrated.

At an café in valkenburg limburg last summer forget to rate, bottle 330ml hazy golden, huge head, very overwalmig one with some hints of grain and citrus fruits, but most like an malt liquor.

Pours a fizzy light orange with a medium sized egg-white head. Aroma is grassy, of hay, pretty vague. Flavor is nicely fruity; mostly peach/apricot and minor spiciness. Average mouthfeel. The abrupt dry finish is pretty nice. Overall, good to very good.

13th May 2008. A 2004 bottle. Malty but with a dry dusty flavour. A hint of fruit. Beer feels tired and uninspiring. May have to try a more recent vintage!

330ml bottle, bb. May 2009, from Systembolaget in Kiruna. Shared with Finn during the great Halloween drinking session at Elsas house in Skibotn – perfect rating conditions. This one poured a hazy, orange coloured body supplied by a fading, white head. Modest aroma of dried fruits. Blended flavour of sweet ripe fruits, including banana and apples. Dry yeasty notes on the swallow. Masked alcohol, but quite heavy to drink, 31.10.2009.

Bottle. Moderate malt notes of light bread and grain, lemon for the hops, leather for the yeast, and a big hit of white wine up front. Head is average size, fizzy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is slightly hazy pale amber/orange. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes moderately acidic and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, oily with a lively carbonation and finishes a touch dry. A bright and refreshing Abbey Tripel with no bad attributes.

Flaske 0,33l fra bestillingsutvalget til Systembolaget. Delt med Rune på Elsas Skibotn 31 Okt 09. Flaske 5 mnd over BB dato. Gylden på farge. Høyt kremaktig skum som la seg etter noen minutter. Uklar. Forsiktig fruktig og svakt krydret aroma. Fyldig smak. Litt citrus & frukt. Du aner alkoholen. Litt ”tungt” helhetsinntrykk – noe som kanskje er meningen. KI=7
