Sep 5, 2008 Bottle gushes slightly but pours a light cloudy golden hue with a small pillow of off white head. Heavy spice aroma, slightly citrusy, hoppy. Substantial body and mouthfeel. Strong spice and alcohol notes up front with grassy middle and moderate carbonation. Citrus and boozy finish in a fairly short dry hop finish.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours cloudy yellow-gold with thick white head that sticks to the glass. Yeasty, citrusy nose with banana and spice. Sweetish yeasty, fruity, bubblegummy flavor at first, ending spicy, dry, and a bit acidic. Rounded, sticky feel on the palate with a carbonation tingle. Tasty and refreshing.

Aug 28, 2008 Nice amber-yellow with a moderate head. Aroma of sugar, big yeast, and bananas. Blast of bubble gum, bananas and bread in the mouth. A delightful fruity tripel with only minor spice and citrus notes. Big, thick gummy mouth feel. Wet full bodied ale that’s rather refreshing and leaning to overripe fruit and vanilla.
A refreshing tripel.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), a lively pour, a hazy amber with a large white pillow head. A spicy aroma, ginger and cloves, and sweet yeast. A spicy yeast flavour, quite a bitterness to the palate. I found it a bit uninspiring - but that is probably the result of the trip.

Aug 24, 2008 Poured a slightly cloudy golden orange with a thick white head. Sweet aroma of yeast, citrus and other fruity notes I couldn’t quite finger specifically (peaches maybe?). Flavour was quite spicy with yeast and fruit. Spicy finish. I was happy to try this one.

Aug 24, 2008 Best Before: 19 07 10.
Appearance: Pours a clear, bright, orangey-gold body topped proudly with an inch of white foam.
Smell: Sweetish, malty nose with hints of spicy hops, fruit-flavored bubblegum, booze, and more candy.
Taste: Sweet pale maltiness with a tiny bit of breadiness to it. Large dose of toffee candy. Drop of lemon extract, a drop of vanilla extract. Spicy, flowery hops with a medium-low bitterness. Splash of bubblegum liqueur with its accompanying alcohol heat. Tiniest bit of sourness rides into the otherwise sweetish finish. After a few sips, a growing taste of black pepper develops.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Sticky mouthfeel. Medium-high, slightly prickly carbonation.
Drinkability: Another very good tripel from the St. Bernard Brewery-err, I mean Brouwerij. Though, for me, when pit side-by-side with the Watou Tripel, I do defer to the Watou.
