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.

Blond body with a creamy head. Citric, hoppy well balanced aroma. Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Well balanced and good complexity. Very nice.

MaiBockAddict (1498) - Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA - APR 11, 2004
Pours cloudy yellow with lots of floaties circling around the massive overcarbonation. Big white head. Burp!. Nose is sharp, yeasty, like citrus graprefruit peels.Flavor is similar, with a sharp grapefruity note to it. Very yeasty throughout. Not sure what the appeal is with this brewery so far...

tytoanderso (1476) - SLP, Minnesota, USA - JUL 13, 2008
33cl bottle. Very dusty and dry on the nose with the basement notes developing into some richer, sweeter banana estery aromas. Slightly grassy and musty as well with a touch of cheddar cheese. Subtle and surprisingly complex. Pours a bright gold/copper with a nice sized creamy white head. Plenty of dustiness on the tongue. A mild yeast spice and earthiness. Bread dough and cheese. An interesting and reserved fruitiness comes out of the yeast pour. Very light bretty notes as well toward the bottom of the glass. Creamy on the tongue with lively, but not overpowering carbonation. 8% is deftly hidden. Far from my favorite style, but well crafted nonetheless. Thanks Alan!

iwantalambic (1473) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - FEB 18, 2004
11.2 oz bottle [best before 7/04]: hazy dark peach with a tight, creamy white head. . . great complex aroma with full yeast, iron, strongly alcoholic vanilla, soughdough, coriander, sweet/ripe bananas, finely cracked pepper and ainse. Full, sticky mouth feel with tangy, sweet orange flesh, fresh clove sticks, cinnamon, and all spice. Outrageously creamy finish with a nice bitterness and an interesting toasted funkiness. Very fun; very tasty.

Murky orange color with a big off-white head. Citrus aroma along with some yeast. Very Reactive mouthfeel. Spicy and citrusy flavor, fairly dry finish. Pretty good stuff.

daboskabouter (1470) - Fergus, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 17, 2002
Golden orange color. Yeasty, citrusy and a variety of spice in the nose. Thick body, touches of yeast complimenting a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Complex, very nice.

Dixen (1465) - Flagstaff, Arizona, USA - AUG 3, 2004
Bottle @ Ølbaren, Copenhagen. Very interesting aroma, fruity, has a sour tangy edge, some pineapple, spicyness. Pours golden to straw yellow, hazy, with a nice medium white head. Flavor is filled with bretts, has that sour edge but its also farily light and very drinkable. Refinds me abit of Orval. Very interesting beer.

Funky pinapple aroma. Pine-hop sweet triple. Not bad, i love the funky aroma/flavors.
