Bottle at ZBF09. Baking yeast aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour starts with a little baking yeast. Turns slightly malty with some wheat feel. Weak alcohol note. Hint of grain.

courtesy of Pascal Sauser - cloudy blond colour with a little white foam; esters and citrus, some spicy notes too; sticky and full-bodied, very sweet, dry and bitter aftertaste of candi sugar, fruits and spices - quite heavy

Huge, slightly yellowish head with variously sized bubbles, collapsing over pale ochre beer. Very ’’beery’’ nose, meaning good balance between malts and (quite grassy) hops, herbs. Little or no trace of white candi sugar, which is remarkable, seen the taste. Sweet, very alcoholic taste, bit of sweet corn flavour, cornflour. Seems not fermented out completely. Very carbonated, near-fizzy MF. Medium bodied, slick; if it weren’t for the CO², it would be close to syrupy. Another beer - nothing more. Unless... I fear that in a year, these bottles are bombs.

Bottle. Hazy golden with some sediment and a sizeable white head. Fruity hops, yeasty, hints of sourness. Good bitterness and notes of bread flavours and fruit. Nice balance between sweet malts and discreet hoppiness. Noticeable alcohol. A good tripel.
