St Feuillien Triple

Dark yellow colored with medium sized white head. Cloudy appearance. Strong orange in aroma with yeast spices, mild alcohol also present. Some herbal-hopped note and licorice also here, good aroma. Medium to full bodied. Flavor has even more licorice with orange still, spices and yeast are more biting. Aftertaste dries with spices and mild alcohol. Excellent aroma, flavor is somehow unbalanced.

Smells great, and has a light sweet taste with some spice and light bitterness. Yeast is present along with light alcohol considering it’s strength. Good Triple.

75 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. Big GUSH. JN 30/08.

App.: Cloudy orange-golden, large rocky white froth. Aroma: Yeast and dough, lots of citrusy coriander and sugary fruits, candi sugar, tree fruits and light dried fruits, a bit too much alcohol. Palate: Medium body and fairly sparse effervescence. Flav.: Spicey citrus, leafy herbal hops, sweet fruits, light sweetness, some dark dried fruits; sweet with a bit of bitterness, a bit of alcohol and light grainy fruitiness to finish.

A nice example of a style that I still don’t like much.

[1303-20080418] 1pt9.4floz. Light fruity hops and mid-notes of straw in the aroma, with mild yeast and a bit of lemon zest and pips. Hazy, pale brown orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Mild citrus yeast flavour has a mild tangy yeast. Light-medium body. Mild but drinkable.

750mL bottle purchased at Corti Brothers in Sacramento. Aroma definitely has some mustiness as well as a bit of anise present. I just get lots of licorice and a fair amount of veggies in the nose. Not sure, doesn’t smell too appealing. Mild-moderately hazy golden-orange body with an off-white head that is medium-sized. Good lacing present. Pretty balanced beer. Has a nice sweet kick early on, but it never totally fades. Lingers in the background behind some dusty, spicy yeast flavors and a nice light citrusy hopped bitterness to finish. Nice mouthfeel. Not overly ethanolic. Balanced and drinkable. Well-crafted. Wish the aroma was more pleasant, though.

33 cl. Gushing from the bottle head settles to a thick cream atop this foggy orange-amber beer. Aroma is citronella and light fruit. Flavor is spicy yeast with apples and grapes, honey, resin and peppery-orange liqueur. Light-medium body tries to be smooth but is too champagne-like; has some nice chest-warming alcohol and finishes mostly dry.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, balanced, hazy, good head, very good brew

Bottle. Pours golden with thick white head. Floral fruit aromas. Taste is fresh and fruity. Very good.
