Nice bubblegum and candy on the nose, lemon and wheaty notes. Unfortunate hint of chlorine. The flavours are short, and start out sweet. They get sweeter just before a reasonable bitterness ushers in a clean and crisp finish. Not bad, but not spectacular. Beer courtesy of Donfardz64

Poured into a tulip glass, this beer created a very tantalizing, frothy head. The aroma was very pleasant, citrus-ey but not overwrought. Nice blonde appearance with some yeasty cloudiness. Great refreshing taste, slightly fruity. Aftertaste was complex for a second or so and then things mellowed out nicely. A really drinkable beer.

A: Poured with a huge, frothy, fizzy white head that slowly diminished to 2-finger size. Very good lacing left on the glass. Body is a light orange color, and hazy. An excellent-looking beer. S: Aroma is of average malt, with bread coming through, and some light yeast. Citrus and orange are present, too. I can also detect a very light scent of alcohol. T: Yeast and lemon are the most prominent flavors... the beer finishes with a light alcohol warmth in the back of the throat. M: Light-to-medium bodied, with a creamy texture and average carbonation. D: A very nice tripel with an excellent appearance. Pretty solid across the board.

Bouteille de 33 cl. Arômes de levure fruitée, légère touche de houblon herbal. Robe blonde foncée et claire, très belle mousse et effervescence active. Relativement sucrée et maltée, la levure fruitée montre également des notes de pain frais. Pour le style, finale relativement amère de houblon herbal.

Pours with a soft billowy porous white head and is bronze colored. Smeels similar to duvel with a damp, sweetish musty smell. Very soft round mouth feel with a stony dry finish. Superb.

It poured a hazy golden liquid with a big white foam that left allot of lacing. Also some yeast in the bottle that dissapeared when I poured it. It had a fruity smell of oranges, apples and yeast. The mouthfeel was stingy with a high carbonation, which hid the flavours at first. But after swirling it around a bit it got better and the beer started to blossom. The fruits where the first come out and I noticed some citrus, oranges in particular and apples. It also had a yeast taste. Once again a nice beer but the Bruin was better, would have been fun to try them side by side
