Light spicy, citrusy aroma; sweet and a bit fruity, Belgian yeast. Sparkling light amber clear with creamy off-white lacing head. Light body with smooth-light carbonation. Starts pretty sweet, light malty flavors, sugar. Alcohol with some warming. Finish is still sweet, with a little bitterness coming in, but could use more to balance out the sugar. After is dry with candy sugar remnants, and yeast. Wasn’t worth the elevated price of the crock bottle.

Nice bottle 50cl. An amber beer with a good head. Smell is on caramel and yeast. Aroma is sweet with spices presence, not bad but not really greate, finish is on agrumes and dry.

Bottled. Golden colour, brief head. Banana aroma. Sweet and sugary, fairly malty. A simplistic super sweet, one dimensional beer sold in a gimmicky bottle. Typical Huyghe.

Stone bottle. Light yellow with a very lasting head. Has an unpleasant irony aroma that some trippels tend towards also. Sour finish.
