Sweet malt hop aroma. Plae yellow colour with great head and lacing. Sweet malt flavour thia is very strong. Dissapointing. Fizzy palate.

Sample from 330 ml bottle at the Mondial. Very clear, bubbly blonde with a fair amount of lace and fluffy head...nose seems somewhat spoiled and skunky, wet sodden grain and little sweetness...effervescent mouthfeel, light malt, lactic sourness, rather unexciting finish.

Lemon, wheat, lightly spicy phenolics in the nose. Crystal clear, golden blonde with fluffy white head that laces. Creamy, somewhat lactic banana-wheat flavour is lightly sour in the finish. Wheaty thick mouthfeel with fair carbonation. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

Clear golden colour with a big dense white head. Yeasty light fruity aroma. Flavor has some sweet maltyness with hints of yeast. There was a light acidic touch in the finish.

Smells like your normal tripel, then goes downhill. The head is very foamy, but overall this beer is very similar to the bruin - just not that great.

I agree with most of the people who’ve rated this and don’t think it’s a trippel. It’s pretty different from all the trippels I have tried. I would say that this beer has a nice brown color to it. with a lot of sediment. Flavor and aroma are slightly sourish. I also seem to detect a slight brettanomyces aroma and taste (barnyard like qualities) Interesting beer, but nothing special. Also how funny is it that this beer is called "pilar biter" and the dude on the front is biting a pilar with a hat on it, which makes for a really unique shadow. I might have actually become slightly gayer for drinking this beer.

So NOT a tripel. A golden at best. Grassy and mildly spicy, with some very mild malt notes. Soft acidity and candy sugars on the palate. Mild lemon spice finish.
