Dec 6, 2009 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a murky yellow/golden colour with a normal size head and good carbonation.
Aroma is hoppy and yeasty, also some sour fruits there with good finish of roasted nuts in the nose, great smell!
Taste is a nice balance of sweet and sour, goes down with a nice bit of warmth and a great aftertaste of sour fruits.

Dec 1, 2009 What a treat to have this and their Noel back to back. It’s easy to forget how great their beers are, but each time I go back to them they never fail to deliver great taste. The beer has a stunning cloudy golden body, that edges on a light copper. Billowing bright white head gives some life to really nice lacing. Aroma is yeasty, medium sweetness, and fresh apples. Lightly sweet on the tongue with notes of caramel, herbal/earthy bitterness, alcohol, and dried fruit.

Dec 1, 2009 bottle, pours a light golden slightly fuzzy liquid, there’s not much aroma (maybe too cold) but hints of caramel yeast and dust. Initial medium bitterness, light sweetness. lots of carbonation with long bitterish finish.

Nov 27, 2009 750 ml corked bottle, now available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 9.5%. Pours with a huge white head, which slowly gives way to a golden beer. Pleasant typical triple aroma of Belgian yeast, fruit and a mild spiciness. The flavour is fresh and fruity, again with a mild spiciness, alcohol is noticeable but not overwhelming. Moderately sweet, the finish is slightly peppery, with moderate hops.

Nov 24, 2009 Smelled of bread, tasted of bread, nuts and yeast. Nice coloring with sediment clearly in the bottle. Nice inexpensive (for a Belgian) beer.

Nov 19, 2009 Golden body. Large bubbled thick head. Champagne cork; it made a loud pop when extracted. Flavors of apricot, belgian candy, banana. Finishes dry. Quite solid trippel.

Nov 18, 2009 Bottle 33cl. Wonderful light copper color. Intense thick white head. Sweet yeasty aroma of coconut and banana. Very nice bitter taste. Makes me think of good fruit tea. No prominent alcohol, although 9.5% according to the bottle. Full body with lots of carbonation. Slightly sweet long finish. A favorite.
