A hazy orange beer with a huge white head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of yeast, coriander, and orange peel. The flavor is very sweet and very spicy again with notes of the yeast, coriander, orange peel as well as the alcohol - the end is a little dry and woody. But the alcohol is not as present in the sample I’m rating since it is more than 2 years old as it is in a fresh bottle - I like the more subtle alcohol presence in the aged version best.

Pale orange coloured, slightly hazy. Pours very lively with big airy head. Flowery yeasty aroma. Sugary, sweetish nose, funky mouthfeel, alcohol-peppery bitterish finish. Leaves a lingering candy sugar flavour in your mouth. Good? No doubt! World classic? Maybe not.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very hazy, orangey colour. Lots of yeasty sediment. Very spicy, very bitter all the way through. The alcohol is quite dominant. 150793

Tastes heavily of alcohol. Quite yeasty. Has a dry finish, but lacking hop character. What the hell is so great about this? I can think of a dozen tripels that are much better than this one. New Belgium, Seigneuriale, 't IJ, Golden Rose, Golden Monkey...
