330ml bottle kindly shared by Finn at his place. Unclear, golden-orange body with sediments floating around. White loose head leaving spotty lacing behind. A lightly spiced touch to a sweet fruity aroma. Taste of herbal dry fruits added by honey sweetness. Sweet and dry fruity ending. Noticeable alcohol. Different without greater excitements (Tromsø, 17.01.2013).

Flaske 0,33l fra Brune Rousse Houblon, Nice. Delt med Rune under seanse i H9 17 Jan 13. Aprikosfarget. Høyt kremaktig skum som varer lenge. Uklar. Litt lacing. God mandelaroma. Smaken er fruktig. Søt aprikos. Mandelpreget varer hele tiden.

Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur dorée légèrement orangée, trouble, mousse abondante et de belle tenue. Arômes fruités et épicés, carbonnation agréable. Trouvéeà l’entrepôt - Courcelles les Lens.

Bottle from bio store in Paris. Smells surprisingly good. Opaque yellow with lots of hops floating around (i hope it’s hops, since hippies might have made it) floating around the bottom. Tastes really good, except at the end where there’s this sour home brew background flavor. Maybe French hippies like that though? A good beer. You could do much worse.

0.75 l bottle at Draft House, London. Deep golden color. Sweet malty aroma with tart alcohol, orange and restrained spiciness. Sweet bready and honeyish flavor with pickled cucumbers and orange. Low hop character. Full body. Could be either less sweet or more bitter.

Bottle 750ml.

Bottled@The Draft House, Tower Bridge, London. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, alcohol, wood and some mild herbal notes. Flavour is very similar with the alcohol sticking out a bit more.

Bottle with cork 0,75ltr: Bought it at an Frence Hypermarche named Auchan, Villenueve d’Ascq near a venue for Euro 2016 football(soccer). An hazy orange coloured brew with an well balanced sweet Duvel-like bitternesh, just how a good Tripel must be.

Grape, spice, sugary syrupy, with a slight alcohol note in the aroma. Hazy golden with little head. Fantastic taste, exactly the same as the aroma with some citrus. Really excellent.
