Tripel piuttosto gustosa e beverina, versa color arancione con schiuma non molto persistente ma abbondante; l’aroma è di pesca, albicocca, arancia: nel sapore la dolcezza predomina ma la stucchevolezza è evitata da un tono agrumato che si concentra nel finale. Non una birra indimenticabile, ma una molto dignitosa e buona.

Brown 33cl dumpy bottle, best before Sept 2011, drank during one of my ’random beer reviewing evenings’ in April 2011. This beer had been sat untouched for over a week in my chilling fridge, yet on picking it up you could clearly see sediment milling about towards the bottom of the bottle. On opening, the beer came up to meet me, the Westmalle chalice caught all the beer and a lovely white blanket of foaming bubbles sat on top of the amber coloured beer. Carbonisation bubbles rising through the beer all the time, ensuring the sediment lumps which lept into the glass floated around for a long time before settling down a bit. The beer had a sweet treacle smell, molasses and nothing else. The taste: alcohol front, back and sides, some yeast presence (had to be with so many floaters), otherwise a lot of nothing. This is a headache waiting to happen. Far too sweet and not enough body to hide the alcohol or the sweetness, a very poor Belgian Tripel!

33cl bottle. Pale golden colour with a frothy and large white head with a nice lacework on the glass. Aroma is moderate yeasty and sweet. Flavour is sweet, malty, yeast and slightly caramel are present, with a final moderate bittery with an average duration. Carbonation is medium to lively. Body is medium.
