750 bottle, 2006 Vintage, provided by after4ever. Pour is cloudy cheddar cheese orange with a 1 inch white head. Aroma of soft floral, a bit hoppy, sweet wheat and malt. Taste is really soft, very much a full wheat, yeast and floral experience. Some black pepper spice in the finish. Really nice full palate that wasn’t too big for the delicate floral and spice. This one was nice. Thanks for sharing Tom.

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.

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.

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.
