A hazy orange beer with a small head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander being most pronounced. The flavor is dry spicy - again with coriander being most dominant. The alcohol runs slightly but noticable over the tongue.

Bottled. Blond colour, reasonable head. Orangey, yeasty lively nose. Very sweet, medium bodied. All the orangey sweetness leads to a sticky mouthfeel, which takes the edge off an otherwise intriguing beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden with a huge creamy head. Quite some sweet malt in a delicious balance with the not too dominating hops. Spiced and very fresh but perhaps not the most outstanding of tripels. 200893

Vibrant orangey-amber colour. Slight haze. Soft, thick head - luscious to behold. Aroma of yeast, pepper, pear, tangerine, slight grass and banana candy. Palate starts out with abundant yeastiness in the form of sweat and dust. Dry pepper alcohol notes come next, leading to a slightly sweeter middle with tangerines and apple skins. Finishes with a herbal hoppiness and a slight shot of alcohol & a kiss of sweet malt for balance. A good mix of assertiveness and balance. Nothing spectacular save for the fact that all the little things are done quite well.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge white, creamy and slowly collapsing head. Subdued spiced, light caramel malt note and mild yeasty in a fine mix meets the nose as the first impression. Flavour starts sweet and delicate fruity, slowly going into a more spiced and dry flavour yet still with a nice level of caramel. Dry and spiced finish, yet smooth and nice in texture and into the finish flavour.
