3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Apologies, but I can not remember who opened this at the Cellars tasting. Thanks, though! Gold color with a thin head. Both the aroma and the flavor are packed with sugary malt. No real hop bitterness, no spices, no yeastiness... Just sugary malt. Tasty enough for me!

Hazy orange, faint greenish shine; good yellowish head, slightly irregular. Vanilla, alcohol, grassy nose. Alcohol and burnt caramel determine the character. If "Zatte" (=drunk) was the idea, it's on the spot. But this is far from easily drinkable. Yet reasonably refreshing. Full, slightly slick mouthfeel. Alcoholwarming. Straw/hayflavour in the aftertaste. Quite decent beer, technically excellent. But the sweet, alcoholic taste makes it pretty difficult to enjoy fully.

Bottle. Unclear golden-yellow with large lasting head. Quite fruity (peach, apricot), little spicy (ginger), little chalky and dry finish. Easy drinking. Thanks Jbrus.

Golden, white head. Lots of yeast in the bottle. Grassy aroma with citrus, grape, pine and sweeter fruits. Hoppy flavor with citrus mixed with sweeter fruits.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2006 Bottle. Bready rye aroma. Hazy golden colour, small head. Slightly citric flavour, average bitterness. A bit boring. Mouthfeel is nice, though. </br> Draught. Flavour is a little sweet with some wheat to it. Orange colour, nice creamy white head. Slightly spiced flavour. Aftertaste is malty and sweet. Low bitterness. Nice, low carbonation.

Bottled. A hazy amber coloured beer with anice white head and good lacing. The aroma is sweet and spicy with hints of grapefruit. The taste is drier than expected with some spiciness. Although the beer is pleasant enough the finish is quite short and I get the impression there is still a bit of ’finding its feet’ about this beer.

Pours a hazy orangey blonde color with a thin white head. Classic tripel aroma and flavor of belgian yeast and citrus. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. This tripel doesn’t have anything new or original to offer, it’s just well-made and enjoyable and I don’t mind at all.

My notes say "spicy cinnamon hoppy". I’ll have to take them at face value, since I don’t remember this.
