4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500mL ceramic swingtop bottle. Poured a hazy golden color with sediment and big white head. Aromas of fruit, yeast and some spice. Tastes of sweet malt and yeast, with a good deal of hop bitterness at the end. A nicely balanced tripel with good carbonation and mouthfeel.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Straw golden, stable head. Wheaty and hoppy, but somewhat subdued aroma. Taste seems to have all the usual Tripel components but again it seems to be just a little too watery. Light and short finish. Not impressed.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Murky dull gold with less than a coat of off-white head. Some clumps. Aroma of mandarins, cloves. Very sweet with candi sugar, oranges, vanilla, struggling pepper and cloves. Cheesy yeast note. Sherry-like touch to the malt flavours.Well within date, but if this was something it didn’t make it here. Poor.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Classica tripel di stampo fiammingo, ma mi ha convinto decisamente poco rispetto a tante sue sorelle...
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle (33 cl) from the Cracked Kettle. Hazy clear golden, medium white head. Dusty and earthy aroma. Dry with low bitterness. Very dull.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
questa tripel color biondo/rame opaca con schiuma abbondante ma evanescente non mi convince !ha tutti i tratti caratteristici di una tripel ma non è armoniosa!pesante troppa frizzantezza con poco carattere !a fatica ne ho bevuta una da 33 cl
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle conditioned, 330ml from Marche de Natalie, Bouillon, Belgium. Gold with white head, managed to avoid pouring the yeasty lumps. It seems that my rating is quite at odds with a few below, but I found this to be a smashing beer, there is a lovely dry tangy fruitiness on the palate with a fresh hoppy twang. Dry bitterness throughout, but still with a modicum of spicing. Wished I had more of this.
