An unclear orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is spicy with notes of coriander and peaches. The flavor is sweet spicy with cinnamon standing out.

From tap. Pours hazy yellow with a diminished white head. Yeasty and spiced aroma with a light hoppy note. Light spiced and caramelish dry malty. Shows a nice phenolic yeast note on the back of the nose and a dry spice note into the finish. Smooth, dry and nice.

Bottled. Hazy orange/golden colour with mediumsized head, which becomes a thin layer quite quickly. The layer stays until end though. Aroma is orange, with some caramel and earth in it. Flavour is caramel, medicine, grass and yeast. The yeast gets stronger in the aftertaste, along with fruity sweetness, making the aftertaste slightly weird, and I’m not sure if it’s in a good or bad way. Overall a quite nice beer.

Bottle. Hazy golden coloured with a white head. Aroma of fruits, yeast and spices. Flavour of fruits, spices and yeast with notes of alcohol and hops.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2007 Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, small head. Orange nose with some dust. Sweet dense malt lies underneath blanket of of grassy dusty hops that dris out the beer. Medium bodied. A solid, interesting, well balanced beer reminiscent of a crossing between Einbecker Urbock and a Belgian tripel.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow/orange color with a white head. Fruity spicy malty aroma. Sweet malty fruity and spicy flavor with some yeasty hints. Sweet malty warming finish.

Draught. Very weak, dry fruit aroma. Cloudy golden colour, no head. Quite clean tasting for a tripel, but with some yeast to it. Warming, peppery aftertaste.

Bottle @ Early Winter Tasting, Odense, 2011. Pours cloudy golden with a small white head. Massive alcohol, fruit and yeast. Medium bodied. Warming hot . .

Hazy golden color; frothy big head. Strong aroma, dry malt, some spices, young wood. Quite strong body structure. Some malt taste, vegetables. Too much bitterness. Not very professional.
