Commercial Description:
A golden Tripel-style ale. A little lighter in alcohol, but not in flavor, than Westmalle, and more drinkable. It matches the best of Belgium.

Bottle: deep golden, cloudy, some floaties visible, persistent and lacy off-white foam; malty-sweetish and "oaky"-sourish nose with a light tinge of hops; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied; gets a bit drier in the hoppy-oaky and sourish-yeasty finish. Well made stuff......

Draft @ wildeman. Nose is lightly tart with loads of spicy, slightly alcoholic yeasty esters. Flavor starts with a little crystal sugar and yeast, then a punch of slightly bitter tropical fruits (mango/pineapple) and quite a dry finish for the style. High carbonation dries the flavors out a bit. A good one and interesting, though not overly remarkable.

7th May 2008. Highly aromatic cloudy amber/blonde beer. Smooth with strong caraway - just a hint of fruit coming through in the finish.

Had this on tap at the brewpub, Amsterdam, 27th Oct 2009 Pours a warm yellow colour, quite hazy with a white clingy head. This is spicy sweet with a nice warmth from the alcohol and also with a slight numbness from the alcohol, there is also a nice sweet honeyness. I’ve had six great beers from this brewery, really lovely day here. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov14 3.7

27/10/2009. 330ml bottle from Beerstore. Hazy pale gold. Throws a little jellied citrus fruit on the nose with an underlying herbal alcohol character. Sulphur sneaks a peek. Head fades but laces well. Simple in the mouth, similar to what I expected given the nose but sulphur on the palate detracts even more so than it did on the nose. Agh... if I wasn’t doing my GST return I’m not sure I would have kept drinking this. Somehow the acrid sulphurous yeast character balanced the bitterness of parting with cash that I should have never have received in the first place. Thumbs down.

One of the best non-Belgian Belgian ales I’ve come across. Not my favourite style but a great beer. Huge flavour.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a big white head that lasts. Aroma is spicy citrus with a hint of caramel. Flavour is fairly similar to the aroma but with more tropical fruit, such as pineapple and passionfruit. Quite fizzy on the palate, this is a fair bit lighter, and more enjoyable, than the other beers I have had from this brewer.
