jabbeloo (68) - Denderbelle, BELGIUM - MAY 20, 2013
Great looking beer very clear and great foam head. The beer has a woody fruity aroma. The alcohol is strong but it is not over the top. The taste is dry but the high alcohols are not overwhelming. Great complex beer with special 4vg after taste. ---Rated By the Belleketels

RuneStumo (1707) - FØRRESFJORDEN, NORWAY - MAY 18, 2013
19.05.2013. 0,33l Bottle. Vinmonopolet, Haugesund. Golden yellow colour with white head. Lively carbonated. Sweet at first with alcohol and smooth soft faromas of floral hops. Very fresh hops. There is both strengt and sweetness. Body is rather rich since it is so strong as well. Aftertaste is strong with soft malt sweetness, alcohol and soft floral bitterness that is well balanced in this beer. This is a very nice beer!

ClubGonzo (2695) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAY 1, 2013
Bottle. Pours a dark golden body with a big, short-lived foamy white head. Nose is Belgian ale yeast, marzipan, banana and hints of floral grassy tones. Taste is assertive estery Belgian yeast notes of banana, clove and candi sugar, bubble gum and hints of alcohol and syrup. Medium body, fizzy carbonation. A bit sweet, but otherwise a fair enough tripel.
