Drunk to celebrate my second year on Ratebeer. Bottle bought at Jumbo Bilbao
Pours a slightly hazy light amber with a medium white fluffy head that diminishes quickly. It leaves a fair lacing Aroma is malty/yeasty. fruity with notes of oranges, pineapples, banana, vanilla, spices like coriander, sugary hints of cotton candy and a liquory touch of cognac. Absolutely fantastic cross between a Hefe and a Tripel. You can detect every note so clearly, it’s outstanding. Flavor is strong, intense, sweet with fruity touches of oranges, tangerines, tequila margarita, spices (coriander, pepper & cardamom) and grains... you can feel the wheat & oats. The finish is so huge, spicy and sweet citrusy. Body is medium, ultra-smooth texture (thanks to the Oats), creamy. High carbonation.... maybe the only letdown of this beauty. The finish explodes with a strong alcoholic touch. The aftertaste remains for a while with a nice cereally taste. A fantastic triple, maybe the best I’ve ever tried.

This yellow cloudy beer is very suprising its full of flavour and very tasty. Smells like a White Beer but the end is very long fruity, malty and floral. Carbonation is soft, very interesting beer.

Tap, poured a clear blonde with little to no head. Nice carbonated and dry with some nice spice notes. Finish was also dry with lingering spice flavor and slightly bitter.

Bottle. Dark golden with a big fluffy white head. Looks fantastic in its own glass. Aroma is malty sweet, fruity, a little yeast. Flavour is malty, sweet and fruity, alcohol warmth. Slight sour finish, lots of carbonation. Very soft mouthfeel. Excellent tripel. Not nearly as good from tap though, which is way too sweet.

Pours out a brilliant golden orange. Sweet aroma, almost like candy and ripe fruits, apricots maybe. Very sweet flavor topped off by lemony zing. Very balanced and enjoyable, very drinkable due to being very thin in the mouth. Very good Tripel, definitely tasty.
