the cork was almost self-ejecting, it went off as if it was champaigne. no beer spilled out. clear ever so slightly cloudy yellow, huge white head that soon becomes fluffy and collapses partly.
very nice aroma balanced between citrus, spicy, and the sweetness of exotic fruits.
flavor is quite sweet, banana, spices, aftertaste is liqueurish, to-the-point flavor, but also perhaps a bit too conventional. alc. reasonably well hidden. flavor is well balanced and rounded and does not, as some tripel’s have any sharp edges to it. this is a plus. honey. somehow almost reminds me of mead. beer is better than my rating, but then - i can’t give it 8 for flavor or aroma - that would need a wow! effect that i didn’t find. if you like belgian this one is a must to have sampled. dEnk (8), Den Haag, Netherlands does not count | 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Medium body, sturdy head, yeasty aroma with a hint of banana, sweet taste with a hint of pepper and lemon.
