BoBoChamp (1334), Gent, Belgium Jul 21, 2008 75cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, cloudy, good head, balanced, good brew emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jul 13, 2008 Glad I finally got around to drinking this one. Pours a nice slightly hazy golden with a thick creamy white head. The nose is sweet, candi sugar, Belgian earthy undertones, spicy yeast phenols. The flavor is similar, has a very nice sweetness to it without being cloying, nice spicy feel from the yeast, gets warmer in the mouth and throat as the temp rises, yeasty Belgian flavors are very nice. I was quite impressed with this. Pompey (42), Longmont, Colorado, USA Jul 12, 2008 Sort of representative of a standard Belgian Tripel. Moderate head on a cloudy light gold pour. Aroma of spice and barley. Flavor of citrus, spice, and a touch of malt. A bit heavy on the spice for my taste. It’s an average Tripel to me, as there are others I enjoy more. Slayer85 (582), Firenze, Italy Jul 8, 2008 750 ml bottle. An unclear deep blonde ber with a huge, persistent and lacing white head. Excellent aroma, honeyish, hoppy and yeasty with notes of grass, flowers, fruits (lemon), spices (pepper). There is also a light touch of alcohol. the flavour is very well balanced, not overly sweet, instead with a good hopping and again spicy. Lightly acidic. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic, dry and quite long finish with medium bitterness. More refreshing and drinkable than expected and complex as expected. Very nice. Rciesla (3515), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Blonde body hazy with a white head. Orange peal, light brown sugar, hops citrus, cloves spices, and vanilla. Solid. Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jun 30, 2008 A hazy blonde ale with a thick creamy white head. Light coriander aroma with herbal qualities and light candy sugar. In mouth, a good coriander and crisp malt, with belgian hops, very herbal, and catnip. Medium bodied. Bieropholie import. Tasted early April 2007. dirkbreedveld (247), Netherlands Jun 27, 2008 Nice blond beer, not sweet at all like Leffe.
