_angst_ (1024) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 25, 2012
330 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours tiny hazy dark golden / amber with a frothy and fizzy off-white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some thick lacing on the glass. Smell is intense and sweet with pears, green apples, flower nectar, white bread, lemon zest, plums, green grapes, yeasty esters, hay, overripe banana, cloves and coriander. Taste is sweet, tiny bitter, tiny sour and fruity with red apples, overripe pears, lemon juice, white bread, green grapes, biscuits, hay, alcohol, peaches and pears in sugar syrup, lemon zest and hints of metal, coriander and marzipan. Mouthfeel is round, slightly sticky sweet, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with crackers, apples, pears, lemon zest, coriander and alcohol.

ElDesmadre (476) - Mikołów, POLAND - MAY 25, 2012
Bottle. Dark orange with a small yet persistent head. Aroma is banana, fruit bubble gum, biscuity malt, apple mousse, yeast, some clove and strong orange. What I like about this tripel is that the phenolic side is tempered and the beer comes across rather soft. The mouthfeel is velvety and skilfully balanced. Light sweet, light bitter taste with a warming, orange infused finish. Very good sipper.

(750ml bottle) cloudy gold, creamy offwhite head. Nose of candi sugar, Belgian yeast, creamy, and a bit of alcohol. Taste is creamy, smooth, candi sugar, bits of banana, light alcohol, marshmallow and cotton candy. Near perfect carbonation.

darioklc (116) - Karlovac, CROATIA - MAY 23, 2012
Amber yellow color with orange tones. Fizzy head that settles out nicely. It’s very tasty, some trappist yeast, some mixed fruits. Maybe just little too much sense of alcohol. Highly carbonated.

Bendrixian (460) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAY 12, 2012
750 ml bottle. frothy cream coloured head, well laced, hazy amber/orange colour. Floral aroma, some banana and bread note as well. Yeasty esters, vanilla. creamy flavour profile, more banana bread notes and other flavours from yeast. has a slight bitterness and a hint of something malted. it is a decent brew but not the most memorable for this style.

Huubs (33) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 10, 2012
Troebel oranje met een witte kop. Geur is licht kruidig, niet erg sterk. Smaak is kruidig (koriander?), zoet van abrikoos en iets meer dan gemiddeld koolzuur. Eindigt met een kruidig vleugje dat net een extra geeft. Aldus Huubs. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
