Hazy yellow coloured ber with some yeast particels in it. Average carbonation with a small white head. Heavy, yeasty slightly alcoholic aroma. Herby full palate. Finish is bitter alcoholic, yeasty and herby.

Tap at Kafe België, Utrecht: Pretty good example of the Tripel style, its has some orange and spicy taste.

Bottled. hazy golden with a low white head. Dryish orangey aroma with light notes of yeast, grass and ginger. A typical tripel flavourvise; dryish peppery orangey notes with notes of banana and yeast. Well-hidden alcohol. Lively finish of speces, wheat and orange-peels.

33 cL bottle. Pours unfiltered orange with a crispy head leaving a good lacing. Aroma is malty and yeasty, tart orange fruit and vague spice note. Flavour is spicy,slight candy flavoured without being sweet. Fairly dry and hoppy into the finish giving a good dry bitterness.

On tap @ Chez Moeder Lambic, St. Gilles. Gorgeous and cloudy yellow-orange with white, lasting head. Aroma of oranges, alcohol, and pine, which makes me think of gin. Somewhat sweet flavor with alcohol and herbs--tastes evergreen. Medicine. Faint citrus. The alcohol flavor is just too strong, leaving the beer way out of balance.

Draft at Beer Circus, Brussels. Looks very blonde, but this one is certainly for sipping, the opposite end of the spectrum from a session beer. Flowers and hers, more like some kind of cordial spiked with vodka? Wut there is a wheat beer kind of softness at the bottom. Interesting, but not quite there!

Bottle, at GBBF 2005. Hazy gold, moderate white head and low condition. Pleasantly sweet and spicy in the nose with some maltiness, solid sweet and full bodied malt in the mouth with a touch of spiciness, lingering dry spicy finish with the alcohol finally becoming apparent. Hic.
