Scauca (260), Lovere, Italy Jul 15, 2008 Orange with creamy white head. Flowery, peppery, yeasty. Sweet flavour, spicy, toward a bitter dry end. A bit alcoholic if not aged properly.
Naka (426), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 11, 2008 750 shared w/ my brother. Pours a slightly hazy nectarine color with a thick foamy 2 finger head. Aroma of some yeasty apple with citrus, coriander, and caramel. The flavor is surprisingly dry. A sort of papery hop character. Lemongrass, extreme fruity esters, A slight clove character to the flavor that almost makes way to a hint of anise. Very bready. As medium body, though still light enough to be refreshing. WisconsinBeer (346), St Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. Hazy yellow color, lots of sediment at the bottom, big whipped egg white foamy head. Mmm, Belgian beer. Flavor is bread, bananas, raisins, yeast, hints of spice and pepper. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Medium bodied, lingering mild alcohol warmth on the back of the throat. Dry finish. Really can’t go wrong with this stuff. Yum.
greenhorn1 (385), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 7, 2008 750 ml bottle. Aroma is spicy, hints of banana, and yeasty. Pours gold with lively carbonation, small head. Flavor is similiar and sweet. Strong notes of pepper. Alcohol gets stronger with each sip. Medium mouthfeel, long finish. Decent. swooper (97), Kladno, Czech Republic Oct 5, 2008 banana, bread, citrus aroma, golden, hazy, frothy, rocky head, medium bitterness, medium sweetness, full body, thick feel, fizzy, long finish, bitter, Ljunkan (143), Karlstad, Sweden Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Hazy golden/orange color with a nice white head. Aroma is yeasty, very spicy with notes of orange. Flavour is sweet with lots of spices, fruit, citrus, green apples and orange with a slight bitterness at the end. Palate is quite filling with medium carbonation. It’s not that drinkable though, but still a quite nice sipper. Tripels is not one of my favourite styles and I think Chimay White is the best one still. It gets a bit too sweet and alcoholic after a while.
