emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Aug 22, 2008 Pours a clear soft gold with a one finger frothy head. The nose is nutty and earthy, sweet, lightly yeasty and bready, a background fruitiness and some alcohol. The flavor is malty, kind of rusty, not as crisp and peppery as most trippels. The palate is crisp and a little dry. Not too impressive. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA Aug 21, 2008 I’ve not sampled many of this style before...Pours deep gold color with a very large white head and fair amount of lacings. Aroma is various spices. Taste is sweet malts, spices, bready, and some euro hops. Decent pour that is dominated by the malts and spices. Could use a few more hops IMO.
Hides 7.8% abv well except for the effects. Russo (595), Campinas, Brazil Aug 14, 2008 Bottled@Old Chicago Omaha,NE. This beer is very like our Bohemia Confraria here in Brazil. Golden Color with a nice white head. Aroma is Sweet and fruity as well as the flavor, with notes of caramel and spices. Mouthfeel is smooth malt. rayOfBeer (316), El Cerrito, California, USA Aug 13, 2008 Poured from bottle a light golden with a small off-white head that faded quickly. Nose is of yeast, bread, and light spice and bubble gum. Flavor is sweet with bubble gum, a mild spice, yeast, honey and caramel. The palate is mostly sweet followed by a soft mild spice and moderate carbonation. Overall, decent but lacks some in flavor and mouthfeel. Ungstrup (14760), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 12, 2008 Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, yeast, and spices - especially cardemomme and a lighter touch of coriander. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, yeast, and spices. Thanks yespr for sharing. alraicercsu (166), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA Aug 12, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Clear golden color with a nice white head. Smells like medium fruit and spice, sort of cake like in aroma. Tastes of caramel, malt and yeast. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 10, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a creamy white head. Dense fruity, light phenolic and mild spiced to yeasty aroma. Spiced and slight rubber flavour initially. Mild yeasty ad caramel malty flavour following. Almost classic yet somewhat too phenolic and rubber like. Nik925 (300), California, USA Aug 6, 2008 Aroma lacks anything promising, just metallic. However, the taste is great. A great balance all around, although it is a little thin/light. Great yeast flavors and well crafted, but it would benefit from more malt and hop flavor. It is still fantastic, just doesn’t reach perfection.
