Very fruit aroma with citrus and apple. Light amber color, off-white head, very beautiful lace. Sweet, rather bitter, very citric, apple, pepper, exploding flavors. Full, very sparkling, alcohol burning strong. Is this only 8.5%? Everything you could be missing in the normal blond is available in this one!

Bottled, thanks BierKönig! Hazy golden. Fruity tangerine aroma. Lovely dense, soft malt character. Orangey hops and almondy yeast character adds to the pleasure. Salty finish. Wonderfully complex.

Poured a lightly hazy, orange color with a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of orange citrus, light barnyard, and a touch of alcohol. very clean aroma. Taste of citrus, light caramel malts, hops, yeast, and alcohol as well. Very nice tripel, thanks richlikebeer!

A rare bottle, big thanks to Lars Amby for sharing. Cloudy pale orange, golden cramy blanket head. Complex vineous, sherrylike and spiced nose. Light dusty and wooden on the palate. Well attenuated. Barrique retronasal.

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.
