[1158-20080301] Tap. Wheat yeast bread aroma with a bit of sweet leafy hops. Clear, golden yellow body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Wheatie yeasty bread continues in flavour with some perfume characteristics. Medium body is smooth. Rather drinkable, good.

[330ml bottle from Sainsbury’s, Reading] ABV seems to vary - have seen it at 8% and 8.1%, but this bottle was 8.4%! Fresh herbal/ floral small with some malt. Very warming in the mouth - the alcohol certainly comes through. Taste is orange and coriander (both the herbal leaves and the spicey seeds come through seeds come through). There’s definitely something sweet and tropical in the background that I couldn’t quite pin down - maybe mango? Some pepper in there too, but the over-riding feeling is freshness, like an easily quaffable golden ale for the summer (a dangerous taste indeed given the strength!). Some slight bitterness in the aftertaste, along with more pepper and an odd syrupy mouthfeel that doesn’t quite work with the rest of the beer. Overall though this is top-notch stuff.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a pale golden with a small foamy white head and fresh aroma of ripe citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with a sticky mouthfeel, bt very pleasant. A long sweet and spicey finish to round it off. I usually don’t like tripels, but this one rules!

0.33l bottle. Pours clear amber colour, with a good thick off white head which dissapears very quickly to leave it looking like cider! Very drinkable fruity pale ale, spicy taste and a pleasant sour aftertaste with a mild hint of alcohol. Very good beer.
