Bottle (old buccaneer). Pours a big white foam which slowly reveals a clear yellow liquid under the huge head. Slightly sour fruity aroma with spicy & grainy notes. Taste is grainy and a bit dusty with a light bitterness.

Bottle, 330 ml. Golden coloration, with a enormous white head, consistent and persistent. Citric notes, with a bitter and acid palate and a dry final. High carbonation. Perceivable alcohol. Medium body. It´s a different tripel.

smooth, slick and vibrantly carbonated with a chemical hop tingle. it has a winey aroma. interestingly different there is a semi/strong alcohol presense made stronger with the green apple flavor that is sweetish and tartly strong. a good beer to pair with a difficult food? i think so! the spices are peppery and strong (again tingly). touch of banana and wheat to bring it down to earth.

11.2 oz. bottle- color of light gold, with a thick white head - nose of yeast, honey, red apples, lavender, and slight sourness – taste of honey, yeast, and cider- body is medium, slightly acidic, and with medium/high carbonation – aftertaste of sugar cane, yeast, cobwebs, honey, and orange peel
