BobEvers (179) - NETHERLANDS - JUN 29, 2012
fles 30cl. kleur: geel niet helder, met een enorme witte schuimkraag. Flink plakkerig. Geur: zoet fruit, mout, Smaak: licht zoet, maar ook lekker bitter. Fruitig. Goede tripel. Iets te veel koolzuur.

30th July 2010
Hazy gold beer, big white head. Sweet aromatic malt nose. Light dry palate. Sweet malts, typically tripel. Subtle notes of orange, brandy and bubblegum. A little boozy even considering the 9.0%. Finishes dry.

CitrusP (47) - Newcastle, AUSTRALIA - JUN 8, 2012
UPDATED: SEP 8, 2012 From 330ml bottle to Glass Aroma - roasty, hay, woody, a pleasant smell that is not overbearing Appearance - amber, orange colour, slightly hazy. head frothy to begin with, settles quite quickly Taste- Medium sweetness with a small amount of sourness and bitterness, rather smooth yet not overly sophisticated Palate - Medium palate with a slick texture, lively carbonation, close to being over the top yet still enjoyable, finishes dry and bitter. poured to instruction - 4/5 to glass, 1/5 to small shot glass, - shot glass was dry and cleaner than full glass flavour.
