330ml brown bottle split with gilvanblight. Poured a nice shade of glowing orange, only a light layer of foam on top, tan in colour, somwhat clingy and sticky. Strong banana aroma. Flavour is sweet with some oranges, cloves with a long finish.

Bottle at home. Pretty clear amber beer with white head. Big carbonation, fizzy and foamy mouth feel. Booze, banana and bubblegum aroma and similar flavours with some cookie dough thrown in. Sweet, slight root beer taste too. Not much bitterness, pretty smooth. OK.

Gold/orange look with lots of carbonation, cloudy. Unpleasant smell. Nice bitter taste, no sweetness.

Hoppypocket (109) - Trois-rivieres, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 11, 2013
Pours a hazy golden with white head and some lacing. Fruity aroma with some pepper, coriander and light orange notes. Taste is fruity, some pears, spicy, some light anise followed by some coriander, pepper, nice malt backbone and grassy hops. Medium-full body and medium carbonation. Really enjoyable!

Gription79 (1578) - Bountiful, Utah, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Poured from a 750ml bottle. There is some age to this, slight oxidized notes. Flavors of burnt caramel, banana, clove. I am detecting slight apple/pear in the aroma, I am thinking this is from the age. Very tasty for the age, it held up very well.

Bottle from K&G. Very long taste. Aromas of bread, caramel, leaves, citrus. Taste is sweet, with sour and bitter notes, long length. Palate is syrupy, and full bodied. Orange, with a thin head.

Direkt från kran i klostret La Trappe. Bättre förutsättningar för en god öl finns inte. Smakar som en Tripel Trapist ska göra! Mkt god men jag saknar beskan i den här typen! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

danielecamo (263) - ITALY - APR 25, 2013
Colore dorato, velata, schiuma bianca, abb fine, abb persistente e aderente. Aroma speziato di lieviti che lascia spazio alla frutta gialla...Al palatto ritroviamo gli stessi sentori con un amaro finale che ben bilancia la birra senza caratterizarla particolarmente. Carbonazione presente, corpo medio, nota alcoolica percepibile, senza infastidire...
