Now this is where it’s at. Very pleasant nose, with tart citrusy notes. The taste and the mouthfeel are impressive, bitter, hoppy, and yeasty. Carbonation just right.

33cl bottle from Bar & Cigar. Bottled 04/02/10. It poured a golden orange colour with a white creamy medium big head. The aroma is spicy and also smells of yeast. It has a very bitter flavour that tastes of yeast and malts. It has a medium long aftertaste.

Cloudy golden orange color with a finger of very creamy white head. Spicy aroma, perfumes and dark floral notes. Sharp spice bite and very carbonated yet creamy mouthfeel. Nice sweet dry finish.

Pours a light straw color from the bomber with a trim white head. Plenty of green grapes, mild yeast, and anise on the nose which carry into the flavor. More watery than I prefer, but a fine Tripel.

Bottle. This pours a light golden colour with a large, energetic head. Aromas of apple, grape, yeast, a bit of orange. Tastes strongly of alcohol, with fruit, apple, citrus.

bb 1/22/10... pours somewhat viscous a cloudy golden color with lots of floaters evident. super long lasting airy/wispy/soapy off white head. pillowy foam coats the inside of the glass as the head eventually recedes. really yeasty aroma with notes of black pepper spiciness, canned pear/fruity?, soap/flowers and a hint of some skunk. lots of yeast in the flavor as well as pears, dried grass and herbs, mild caramel and a skunky hop finish. spiciness comes on strong toward the end as the abv% warms up the belly. medium body. nice and dry on the palate. soft airy carbonation makes it velvety and smooth...
