Bottle into chalice. Pours a hazy gold with a big, creamy white head, would be a great looking beer if not for all the floaties in there. Aroma is spicy yeast, over-ripe pears, candy sugar, herbal. Taste begins malty but a bit dry; candy sweetness is subtle rather than prominent, held in check in part by an herbal note. Spicy yeast is there also, coupled with a touch of spicy alcohol on the bittersweet, fruity finish with a definite floral hop presence. Feels slightly restrained, subtle. Mouthfeel is creamy, with a subtle carbonation and full mouthfeel. Interesting, different but well done.

Aug 1, 2008 On tap at Delirium, Brussels, 25-07-08 Difficult to determine the colour of this beer in the cave like surroundings of this cellar bar but it looks golden. This is really quite assertively hoppy there is a soft restrained bitterness, nice tanginess and there are slight comparisons with one of the De Ranke products probably XX bitter. The strength is noticeable but never intrusive a lovely beer.

Aroma - Light stone fruit, honey, floral and spicy notes, very inviting aroma
Appearance - Deep gold with large creamy head that was durable with nice lace in a tulip glass.
Flavor - Fruity sweetness balances well with a spicy bitterness.
Unexpectedly rich, medium body with light carbonation, very smooth, and a softly dry palate.
Very drinkable, smooth and quite satisfying. Went well with the muscles steamed with Dupont Saison.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle from Rivers Bend. Poured hazy orange color with a huge frothy head that lasted with excellent lacing. Complex spicy fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium fruity balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of long duration with a small alcohol bite. This is a good beer.

Jun 30, 2008 Aroma of caramel, malt and alcohol. Color is a golden orange with good carbonation and a thin tight head. Taste is sweet and fruity. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a very smooth feel. Finish comes in sweet with an apple taste, a little yeast and a very faint bitterness. After taste is alcohol then a mellow dry feel. Good Belgian Triple, not one of the best, but the apple note makes it unique.
