On tap @ Delirium. An excellent tripel that remains underrated. Golden color with a big, lasting head. Heavy hops in the nose and nicely bitter flavor, which also has some wheaty elements. Some orange and spices, but understated and the hops are in control. Highly recommended for all fans of the style.

Pours golden with a nice head and lacing, I didn’t swirl the yeast so it was pretty clear with good carb, aroma is malts and sugar, taste is a nice combo of malt, yeast and hop character, a bit thin IMO but I suppose the sugar does that. 8.4% alcohol is well hidden. Very nice beer

2006 bottle tasted Nov 2008. <br /><br /> Pours a lovely gold but with tons of suspended particles, not quite in des Rocs territory but otherwise pretty far out there on the scale. Looks like it might be a bit flat from the pour, but plentiful carbonation erupts in small bubbles on the tongue; just right. Soft citric aroma, slightly grassy, maybe some honey. Lovely mellow flavor, lots of lemon zest, some peach, gently sweet, honey malts, not intensely spicy, just laid back and really enjoyable to drink. After 2+ years, relatively little of the floral hops that other reviewers have noted; I should try this one fresh as well. Quite an enjoyable and well crafted tripel, probably somewhat underrated on this site.

Pours hazy golden orange with off white head. Aromas of bread dough, spices and slight hoppiness. Sweet with spices, yeast, citrus and hops. Reminds me Chouffe Houblon but not quite as good. Medium body with lively carbonation. A pretty good beer.

Bottle, bought @ Utobeer, London. Enjoyed in Stansted Airport.<br /> Pours muddy orange with a big, frothy, off-white head. Wonderful aroma, lots of fruit. Yeast, oranges, pineapple and grapes. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly tart, quite hoppy, lightly warming. Great pineapple, apple, citrus and oranges. Some coriander and pepper. But especially the hoppiness lifts this above the crowd.

This one exploded. The yeast just misted through the whole bottle, and the pour is a dirty blonde with a still suspension of particles obscuring it. Dandelion and sourish adhesive aroma. Coriander. Brown spices, surprisingly pungent and damp; cardamom, mace, and maybe turmeric. Salt, and some brown sugar. Lots of variables, some of them pretty unique. It has some appealing dirtiness and farm-like textures that spin it in a Fantome vein every so often. <br /><br /> Bitter and dry pithy citrus and green spice flavors. A certain golden dry graininess seems more in line with sunflower seeds and the earthiest of wildflower honeys than it does with the sweetened dough and candi sugar crunch of a prototypical example. The haze of mystery is heavy. Vinous textures are deep, surprisingly, as the dryness here at times seems quite tannic and wooden. The flavors of hazelnuts, almonds, and pistachios really do a fantastic job of making the dryness of the beer soft and earthy, and bitter enough to sidestep the sugary, syrupy flavors that are a bit disdainful to me; likewise, there’s a delicate floral quality and enough sourish funk to make it interesting beyond its already complicated exteriors. <br /><br /> Wildflower honey texture. Soft and bright. Gentle carbonation and a medium-full palate. The departures here take positive directions, and it’s overall very pleasant; a fine effort from a fine brewery.
