Quinten (955), zaandam, Netherlands Sep 25, 2009 At vonk slijterij zaandam, bottle 750ml golden, xtrm full fluffy head, lots of nice citrus fruits and flowers, perfect grassy hopbitter, most best hops, very good. GAManiac (1123), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Sep 25, 2009 750mL bottle poured into tulip.
Pours a hazy, bright yellow with a big fluffy white head that leaves some clumpy white retention and lots of lacing.
The aroma starts with some lemon zest and some grassy hops but gave way to the massive spicy yeast backbone.
The taste is more of the same with a slight sweetness from light fruits and sugar. The spicy yeast is more prevalent and the finish has some grassy, spicy hops.
The mouthfeel is fairly lively with good carbonation and slightly spicy in the finish.
An excellent Belgian IPA with a dominant yeast spiciness and enough sweetness to make things interesting. beerchugger (285), Colorado, USA Sep 24, 2009 The pour is very light, almost like witbier. Little white head with some attractive lacing. The aroma is delicious with definite strong notes of spice and some wild yeast. Also some notes of sweet citrusy smells coming through as well. The spices really come through nicely in this beer with coriander being the most pronounced. Again, some sweet citrus fruits. Overall, it’s very light and enjoyable. TheJester (694), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Sep 21, 2009 750 mL bottle. Nice yellow-gold with a medium, sticky, white head. Lotsa stuff in it. Aroma is sweet and spicy with some floral hops and yeast. Very pleasant. The flavour is as advertised: a strongly built tripel with added hops. Medium to full body. An excellent beer. Damico (162), Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 21, 2009 With a funky, slightly sour and sweet zesty flavor, this special IPA brew is delicious. The aroma is full of sweetness but not much hops for an IPA. The color is perfectly golden champagne. I’m so glad they import this delicious, rare Belgian IPA. Cole (266), , Alberta, Canada Sep 20, 2009 Pours pale yellow with a thick white head. Great retention. Aroma is very strong and yeasty, notes of alcohol, and very hoppy. Kind of a subtle floral aroma. At first it tastes like an abbey triple, lots of yeast and alcohol, and then it finishes with a very dry bitter hop flavour. Interesting, but I don’t think I would want to drink it all the time. TheHulk (106), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Sep 20, 2009 Smells strongly of hops, yeast and wheatish malt. Very light, cloudy, lots of head. Tastes like a strong pilsner that got really hopped up and smoothed out with the tripel treatment. Pretty good, but more words in the name than the result warrants. OldGrowth (1407), North Carolina, USA Sep 20, 2009 Tulip @ Tyler’s Apex, Greta aroma, nice hop, on the grassy side, subtle spice, some banana. Greenish gold color, good head and lace. Bitter sweet flavor, sharp bitterness with subtle sweetness. Lite body, thin creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish. Tasty, like it’s initial taste, gave way to a ABV harshness as it warmed. Could of sworn I had this before now, but apparently not, check....
