CLear golden coloured body with a white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of alcohol, apples, pears, paint and a bit more alcohol - strong. Light-bodied; Deep strong alcohol and pungent bitter tastes with some light yeast, a touch of herbs and grass and a little hop taste. Aftertaste bitter and strong with a touch of sweetness, a little malt and a lot of alcohol tastes. Overall, not such a great beer, but not absolutely horrible. A bit bitter and a little too strong for the style, but nice to sample anyways! I sampled this 33 cL stubby bottle purchased from La Bier Tempel in Bruxelles, Belgium on 02-January-2011 for €2,50, sampled at my hotel room in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on 03-January-2011.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy golden coloured brew with an spicy sweety taste and it taste like an fluid bread or something.

Brassy gold with a strong white billow. Inviting, acetone-steeped apricot and peach on the snout with undercurrents of lime, chick pea and dung; more alcohol on the palate which fizzes like soda, nods at almond and cake, then dissipates into a boozy slush of bread, grass cuttings, overripe banana and unidentified, 5 day old xmas trifle fruits soaked in liqueur and Special Brew.

Bottle @ Willems, Belgium. Pours unclear golden with a large creamy egg white head and lacings. Nose is herbal and spicy. Makes me think of vomit. Flavor is dry and grainy. A bit of yeast and hops. Clean with a bit of warmth from alcohol. Lively carbonation. Cookie dough. Full bodied. Tasty.

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy golden color with a thin, creamy white head that leaves some lacing. Complex fruity spicy citrus aroma with some clove and banana. Spicy bitter flavor, slightly sweet and a bit on the watery side. Well balanced.

(bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a big and dense cream-coloured foamy head. Yeasty, citrus-fruity and peppery hoppy aroma with strong spicy notes of coriander. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Pale and cara-malty taste with yeasty and hoppy fruity notes; quite dry and bitter finish with a light malty sweetness, slightly citric and floral hops and loads of coriander spice. A tad too spicy but nevertheless likeable Tripel. 15.I.10

A 0.33L bottle shared at Janoinen Lohi (thanks FatPhil). <thin white head. A slightly hazy pale golden colour. Roasted malts and slight dryness in the taste. Not very sweet. Hoppiness at the end.

330ml bottle (Janoinen Lohi, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks)
Bright orange. Fruity, but also sour aroma - lemon fresh? Almost urinal. Very sharp palate, carbonation high, and drying in the mouth. Leaves a very fruity hoppy finish. A little thin, but plenty of fruity esters. A touch of alcohol too, alas. A bit unbalanced.

Bottle, 5.8%. Good citric aroma, quite funky. Almost clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is OK malty, quite citric, some white wine. The finish is a bit rough with a hint of stable.
