Bottled sample via lubiere. Dark gold in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Aromas are of pale malts, orange marmalade, yeast, apricot candy, a hint of caramel and a bit of rust on the back end. Firm pilsner malts upfront in the mouth, followed up by some strong stewed berry and stone fruits. The finish is crisp with a minerally bitterness. Medium bodied for a tripel, which is still fairly light. A bit long in the tooth, but still drinking fairly well.

Bottle. An almost clear, golden-orange beer with an off-white head and some micro sized floaties. Fruity nose with some sweetness and a spicy touch. Sugary, fruity and citrusy flavor with some bitterness. Full-bodied, effervescent and slightly warming mouthfeel. The finish is fruity and sweet. A decent beer, quite well-tasting, but also a bit boring. (081003)

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Marko (3161) - Split, CROATIA - JUL 19, 2008
Bottle bb Nov 2011, courtesy of and shared with heavy (thanks!) Lovely murky orange-apricot body. Fluffy white head that went away slowly. Sourish agrumey yeasty nose, some dust. Hm. Light, slightly sourish and dusty taste, some sweet maltiness. Slightly vinuous later on Balanced but a bit too light and no real typical Tripel flavors except maybe some weak agrumes. All too ordinary for the style.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 heavy (1490) - Split, CROATIA - JUL 14, 2008
#401... 0.33 l bottle from belgianshop.com. This turquoise nun poured murky orange to golden body with big white head. Orange aroma, pretty sharp, spiced with cinnamon and some honey. It’s yeasty, just like in the flavor, which is hanging between sour and bitter all the time. Orange peel, bit of lemon, some mild spices are components of its full body. Alcohol is very well hidden. Sharp and strong finish. Although it have many school characteristics of the style, it’s not so typical, as it’s quite sharp with its sourness and bitterness, so many won’t like it. It’s more than fine for me so I’m happy to choose 3 Abdis to note my 400th rating.
