SHIG (3032) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - MAR 4, 2007
Bottle: Poured a golden amber with white colored head. This has a floral citrus aroma verry sour to the nose. The taste was mild malt and quite bland versus the aroma.

McZythos (31) - Nancy, FRANCE - DEC 16, 2012
UPDATED: MAR 14, 2013 Great gingerbread and even rye bread nose. Impressive! Hoppyness too ! Taste is a bit too much sugary and honeyish to me. I realy love this rye bread taste. Just imagine having rye bread with honey and this is what you get with this beer !

Benzai (4329) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - OCT 2, 2012
33cl bottle @ home. Hazy yellow color, huge rough a bit soapy head. Slow gusher out of the bottle by the way. Smell malts, lightly cardboard, slightly sweet and a light fruitpeel-bitterness and yeasty. Taste malts, a slightly herbal and a bit dusty bitterness, lightly sour green apple and yeast. Fizzy carbonation, low to medium body.

sebletitje (5411) - Enghien, BELGIUM - SEP 27, 2012
33cl bottle. Dorée, col blanc disparaissant assez vite. Arôme est léger, fruité citronné, note de douceur sucrée/levure avec un bouquet légèrement fleuri. Palais, profile levure, grains, certaine note mer houblonnée. Le tout reste sec avec un côté épicé en retrait et gardant ce profile très belge. Belle effervescence en fin de bouche sur un côté léger sucré. Le tout reste une triple convenable, sans plus.

Koelschtrinker (8470) - Köln (Cologne), GERMANY - JUL 8, 2012
Laffer und weich herber Beginn. Leider bleibt es laff, wenig getreidig, zum Ende kommen gar Metallnoten hinzu. Belanglos aber ok. /7/9/6/8/7

IlBevitorediLA (451) - ITALY - MAY 26, 2012
Aroma maltato e fruttato. Imbocco dolce riesce , poi, a equilibrarsi sul finale. Un leggero sentore di zucchero di canna. A volte un pò troppo scialba. Alcohol nascosto bene.

vipinvelp (1156) - Velp, NETHERLANDS - MAY 16, 2012
Purchased in Antwerp during shopping visit. Nice color and good foam head, lacing to glass. Some fruit traces, but overall a nice bitter tripel, nothing special, just nice. (Velp 201112)
