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.

Popped the top and foam gushed out, and gushed out, and gushed out. Particle-filled murky golden body with quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sweet, cookie dough, spicy, yeasty. Taste is medium sweet, malty, spicy, yeasty, slightly floral and orange, finishing cookie dough and dry, with slight alcohol. Medium/full body. Interesting beer, filled with aroma and flavor, though I'm not altogether certain how much I like these combinations of aromas and flavors.

yngwie (8718) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 26, 2008
Bottle. An unclear, cloudy orang-golden beer with a small, off-white head. Small floaties as well. Evident bretty aroma with fruityness, yeast and sourness. A slight alcohol touch as well. There’s also a little rubbery note, but so hidden it doesn’t disturb at all. Medium to full body, sweetness in the background, sourish and effervescent. The flavor is fruity, sourish and funky with yeast and barnyard. Quite bitter finish, but there’s no problem finding the sourish, barnyardish flavors, and it’s quite fruity as well. Cute, untypical tripel. (080426)

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - AUG 5, 2007
Bottle. Pours a hazy deep golden colour with a small but nice and creamy well lasting head. Mango fruit and wheat bit sweet aroma with a bit of sourness and spices. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is yeasty and fruity with a pleasant sweetness, some spices, hops, bit of caramel and alcohol. The finish is spiced and bit sweet with a soft bitterness.

thewolf (8241) - Kolding, DENMARK - APR 9, 2007
Pours a pale, muddy orange-yellow with a small creamy off white head. Lots of particles and bubbles. Aroma has lots of fruityness from the yeast, some oranges and a little honey. A little spritzy mouthfeel. More powerful taste than you’d expect - not as light and fresh as the aroma. Lots of oranges in the flavour as well and generally sweet.

Christian (8042) - Odense, DENMARK - FEB 26, 2010
Golden with a small white head. Grainy aroma with yeasty and earthy notes. Sweet and fruity flavour with over-powering alcohol.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - SEP 5, 2007
Dark golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma has notes of yeast, spice, barnyard and malt. The flavour is sweetish with notes of yeast, barnyard and malt. There isn’t really any bitterness, but the finish is rather dry.

bierkoning (7776) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - JAN 8, 2003
Aroma has pepper, honey and cinnamon. Sweetish, hopbitter, yeasty flavor with honey, citrus and apple. Some strange dustiness. Just a bit thin for a triple, nevertheless a good beer.
