COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A top-fermenting golden strong beer of 7.6% ABV, that is very firm-bodied, fruity-dry and assertive. It has a fine hop-aroma (dry-hopping is used) and a splendid apertif bitterness in palate and finish.

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2003 Pours with an amber-orange body topped by a thick quickly disappearing white head that leaves tons of lace. Sweet and fruity (peaches and citrus) aroma with spicy hoppy notes. Sweet and fruity (lemon and peaches) malt flavor with a good hoppiness. Great flavor, the finish is sweet and slightly metallic. Full bodied, smooth and soft for the alcohol content and slightly warming.

Gotta love these stone like bottles.I use them in my home brewing,Max light prevention.Dark golden or light ambe color,small white head that faded quickly,leaving a slight laceing on the side of the glass.Malty aroma with a fruity,spiciness to it.The taste is fantastic,smooth fruity like banana and vanilla,slight horn fruit tone as well.Mildly hopped.the after taste is a mild spice and hop with a slight sweetness dancing on the palate.Very nice brew and very drinkable IMO.

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.

I thought it the St. Paul DOble had a nice flavor, this would be a punch, bu it was lighter. ANy way, it was ok so far.

16.9 oz bottle from Mr. Liquor. Poured clear honey yellow with very thick, sudsy, and lasting white head. Aromas of hops and sugar. Also aromas of citrus. Flavors of hops and fruit with the alchol coming through quite a bit. Highly carbonated, and a bit sticky on the lips after drinking. Bitter aftertaste making it quite different from the double.

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.
