Bottle. Cloudy orange with a beautiful head. Complex and pleasent sweetness, quite fruity, touch of herbs, warming alcohol, soft/creamy mouthfeel and medium-full body. Not your typical tripel but certainly highly drinkable. Thanks Jbrus.

Pours hazy golden and a foamy white head. Fresh sharp citrus and hay aroma with yeasty tones. Sweet malt in the flavor with bready notes and a good bitter tone. Hay, straw and hop also. Soft mouthfull. Nice one!

One of the last five bottles; Thanks John. Aroma is very fruity, citrus. Creamy and yeasty. Hazy, orange-yellow coloured with a decent, off-white head. A very smooth, sweet, fruity (mostly citrus) tripel. Perhaps a little unbalanced but very, very tasty.

Creamy, citric aroma. Sweet, citric creamy even a bit candy-like flavor. But after the initial sweetness a firm hopbitterness comes up, resulting in a creamy bitter aftertaste. Very good!

A hazy orange beer with a collapsing white head. The aroma is sweet and yeasty, while the flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, oranges, hops, and oranges.
