brewtopia 11-12-05. Poured hazy, small head. Mostly yeast nose, some fruits. The abv is well hiddden. Good brew.

Pour is initially mostly clear, with an ok fluffy head that fades and leaves pretty good lace. Mostly bready pils malt aroma with light spice and yeast hints. More light bready malts, ligth dough flavors, hints of esters and spice, but malt dominated and maybe some hop bitterness. Overall too clean and one-dimensional for a tripel. Needs more spices, esters, yeasts etc...

Hazy golden body with a small head. The aroma is orange, hint of pears, and had a huge peppery feel. It’s 9% so big surprise. Flavor is quite a bit better than the aroma, and the finish is sweet. There’s definitely some spices in there that I couldn’t get out of the aroma. Lingering aftertaste that starts out nice and ends with alcohol. After it warmed a bit it felt very nice, very light in my mouth. Not like a light beer. But light in a good way.

yellow pour, oaky sweet flavor and smell. malty at times. easy drinking, not too offensive, not really any hop presence in this one. not bad at all, a good beer to perhaps intrigue people into liking good beers. but for someone that has been drinking good beers for a while, this might not do it for you. not bad but not the best.

Bottle 2 years aged from my cellar.... Aroma:citrus,floral..... Appearance:h gold amber.... Flavor:mixe of citrus,malt and flower.Very good...

I really enjoyed this one. It poured hazy gold with a 2-finger white head. Aroma of hopcit, coriander, Brett, and orange zest. Tastes initially fruity, with mid-palate hopcit and floral spices. Finishing notes of apple. Complex, lively palate, with great complexity and well hidden alcohol. Achieves a semi-dry cidery element as it warms.

Cloudy golden colour with a white head. The aroma and taste are malty and sweet. Very soft with not much body and complexity. You would not say this has 9 alcohol%. But certainly not a bad beer. (Bottle 33cl)
