Unclear many tiny sized body particles, a medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, light hoppy, citrus, moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate to light heavy candy sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration, and a light peppery finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Ungstrup (24024) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 3, 2009
Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as a touch of spices. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of citrus, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

JorisPPattyn (6747) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAY 19, 2008
Slight gushing to metallic-blond beer, with a yellowish head, fast gone. Grassy nose, pale malts and white candi sugar, alcohol. Spicy flavour, Chinese five-spices (quite outspoken), and cumin extra. Malty underbuild. Warming up, I get gingerbread spices. Medium bodied at last; pretty well-attenuated. Nice, if maybe over-spiced tripel. I don’t use caraway seeds frequent enough to recognize them as Bart does.

BartC (528) - Lichtaart, BELGIUM - MAY 19, 2008
Blond beer. Flavor and aroma are dominated by the caraway. Although caraway in combination with peppers can give nice flavors to the beer, this was clearly a bit to much of it.

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 19, 2008
(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with tiny, floating impurities and a dense, white head. Fruity, sweetish aroma. Quite full-bodied with a pleasant, sweet fruitiness, yeast and a somewhat astringent, phenollic finish that also shows quite some alcohol. 160408

SHIG (2707) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - OCT 20, 2007
Bottle, won at the Bles Bier Happenings event: Poured a hazy orange yellow with a thick creamy white head. Aroma is spice and hoppy. Taste is sweet spice and there is some hoppiness to it. Finish is dry and a bit bitter.
