faroeviking (6016), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Jan 3, 2007 Bottle. Golden colour with an average head. The aroma is yeasty, with a bit of fruits and little spices. The flavor is spicy, bit hopped, caramel, and bit dry in the finish. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Dec 31, 2006 Golden blonde color. White foamy head. aroma of spice and malts. Flavor of sweet malt overpowered by hops. Brilliant! oh6gdx (8795), Vasa, Finland Dec 19, 2006 Bottled. Hazy, pale yellowish nutbrown colour with huge fluffy white head. Aroma is acidic fruits with some flowery hints. Flavour is stingingly spicy and also very acidic fruity. Quite dry finish, but not much aftertaste. An ok and quite clean tripel, but then again nothing that surprises either. marcus (1821), Sacramento, California, USA Dec 11, 2006 This amber ale pours with a nice white head, eliciting a flowery hop aroma. The flavor is fruity and spicy with a dry finish. This is a decent, but rather blase example of an abbey ale. Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Dec 8, 2006 Bottle. White and astoshingly low head. Hazy yellow body. Aroma of hops and heavily dominated by alcohol. Acidic hops flavor with a lot of carbonation, probably in a not succeeded attempt to hide the alcohol. I simply do not understand your high ratings. Is it: Oh my goodness its Belgian it must be good. Bullshit. (Heard somebody talking of a Belgian mafia). TheGrandMaster (1845), Auckland, New Zealand Dec 7, 2006 Bottle, pours a golden amber colour with a deliciously large pillowy white head. Aroma is equally delicious, malty and spicy, with touches of yeast. Sharp and peppery on the palate, quite carbonated, but that works well offsetting the alcohol sweetness. Dry and sweet in a relatively short finish. zebracakes (1208), Washington DC, USA Dec 2, 2006 On tap. Hazy gold, thin white head. Aroma is plums, pears, malt, & spices. Flavor is fruity, malty, and slightly spicy. I can taste a faint hint of olives. DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Nov 26, 2006 Faintly hazy gold with a large whtie head, but jsut so-so lace. Nose has a yeasty sourness to it, vollowed by a light touch of anise, and some spice notes - pretty nice al in all. On the palate there is a livley effervescence complementing a medium body and a pretty clean mouthfeel. Flavors of light stone fruit are balnced by a slight sourness and some spicy bitterness.
