lucke13 (90), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Mar 25, 2008 Pours a hazy gold with abundant white head. Smells of fruits and spice. Taste is spices with a bitter component on the back of the tounge. I preferred the Double over this, but it is still a fine beer. donfardz64 (406), Wellington, New Zealand Mar 25, 2008 Updated: Jun 21, 2009Bottle from Regionals, which has been sitting in my cellar for a while.
Pours hazy orange/golden, a bit of sediment and a filmy lingering white head.
A massively herbacious nose, with the characteristic coriander. Big fruit, orange peel, cloves, quite sweet overall. The perfect Tripel aroma.
Flavour is just a huge as aroma. Mouthfilling and perfectly balanced. Corriander and candy sugar dominate the palate. Some clove spice and a strong bitterness balance the flavour perfectly. The finish is mildly dry, with a fair amount of candi sugar sweetness.
This is my favourite beer, and every bottle I have reaffirms why. allfreej (358), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Mar 23, 2008 Bottled. Pours cloudy dark yellow, with a lacy white head. Nose is yeast, lemon, pears, spices. Flavor is pears, lemongrass, spices, soft malt. Finish is lightly bitter with some gentle alcohol notes. Mouthfeel was softly carbonated. borisz (180), Netherlands Mar 22, 2008 33CL bottle, a nice triple one of the easiest triples to get in Holland. Nice golden yellow color, nice white head medium bitterness, medium body, sticky, average carbonation, astringent, FishManLA (284), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA Mar 21, 2008 Pours with a very large thick fluffy white head that persists. Color is hazy bright yellow/amber. Nose is sweat and bready. Flavor is fruity and distinctly like white wine with malty undertones. Finish is malty, like malted milk. TaxiDriver (908), Stadland, Germany Mar 21, 2008 Bottle. The beer smells nice like bread and wine, a little bit later the malt shines through. The head is big, white and creamy, it stays long. The body is dark yellow. It started light sour like wine, later on it gets mire bitter. You don’t feel the alcohol in it. The body is medium, creamy and oily whit a soft carbonation. Really a great beer! mybestfriend (261), Gothenburg, Sweden Mar 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange colour with a white head. Aroma is (Seville) oranges and loads of yeast and herbs. Flavour is sweet and round with loads of yeast and herbs also some oranges and alcohol. themightyomega (82), New York, USA Mar 19, 2008 Bottle: Pours yellow, slightly hazy, little crudniks drifting around. Thick pale tan yellow head. Nice lacing. Aromas of hops, yeast, "beer". Interesting sweet-sour taste up front, with just the right amount of bitter at the end. Rich n’ chewy, but not heavy either. Good stuff, real good.
