Murky, golden pour with a big, sustaining head. Very light aroma of sweetness and wheat. Bitter hoppy start quickly followed by a smooth and creamy maltiness that ends with an apricot like yumminess. Full-mouth feel. A great balance of bitterness and sweetness. Very good.

Jul 16, 2008 750ml from A Southern Season, Chapel Hill. I actually felt this one was more like a strong golden than a tripel. There are certainly some of the sweet, malty characteristics of a tripel - a rich honied flavor along with some piquant fruits - but there’s enough hop presence and enough of a dry finish that it straddles categories. Either way, another enjoyable brew from De Proef.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottled. Pours a deep vibrant orange with small sediment pieces floating around and a white head. Aroma is a light sour apricot with other light fruit aromas mixed in. Flavor is light butteriness, with sweet fruits, and a somewhat syrupy feel to it. Reminds of a JW Lee BW with its sweetness. Smooth and creamy perhaps even silky mouth feel. The body is well malted with a syrupy feel.

May 10, 2008 The bottle poured slightly hazy, bright honey color with 3 fingers of dense egg shell colored foam, somewhat sustained. It smells fruity, like apricot. The flavor is sweet with an anesthetic quality, almost peppery, with sourdough bready notes.

May 2, 2008 This hazy golden ale poured with a generous white head and a sweet floral aroma. Lots of malt and candy sugar flavor, with an astringent yeasty finish. It leaves a warming alcohol sensation.
