4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: MAR 1, 2010 330 ml bottle. Ever so slightly cloudy gold with a rocky, brilliant white head. Powerful aromas of yeast, herbs, bananas and hay. Flavours of yeast, coriander and hops with a touch of sweetness in the finish. A great beer [4.2}. Re-rate 1/3/10, 750ml bottle bought at Corks, Bristol about four years ago. This had probably been kept too long, as it appeared to have faded in most respects. The aromas were more muted and a honeyed sweetness was more evident in the flavour. Still very good, but not one of the best [3.8].
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
0,33 bottle. Cloudy dark yellow. Medium body with medium carbonation. Flavor is really nice complex mix, some spices, some fruits and hops. A bit bitter end. Really nice composition. As I prefer dark Belgian beers, this blond makes it’s way.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy golden body, dense head, good lacing. Spicy, bready aroma with some vanilla and honey. Bready & grainy taste with sweet notes, not unlike a regular tripel, but some with nice spicy & tangy notes, DuPont-style. Interesting yeast profile. Very good complexity. Quite heavy on the carbonation. Nice.

330ml bottle;nose of yeast, spiciness with some banana esters; golden with a medium yellowish head; flavor of spices (cloves and pepper), light fruit, and some bitter hops, which last to the finish. Nice tripel!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl bottle. Aroma of citrus, yeast and spice. Hazy golden color with a white head that laces. Thick mouthfeel. Definite pepper following malt. Almost creamy. Pretty dry finish, and there’s enough hop to make it right. Very nice, balanced, if that’s a word to use with a Tripel. Yum.
