Bevuta alla spina al Mulligan’s di Milano a marchio Dominus. Già bevuta in passato con gran gusto, questa birra, negli ultimi tempi, ha perso un po’ della sua attrattiva. In particolar modo ha perso corpo, slegandone i componenti dalla compattezza aromatica che la contraddistinguevano.

Sweet, rich malt flavor, body medium to heavy. Very sweet, with lots of honey. Nice, but lacks the hoppiness and balance of the best tripels.

Bottle 750 ml. Clear dark amber with a small white head. Fruity taste, sweet beer with some idea of bitterness.

A tough doughy; blonde coloured tappist beer. Probably one of the weakest trappist beers. Can detect hay and banana and cineman. The mouth feel is plesant but I expected better.

Pours dark amber, darker than most tripels, with a small head. Aroma shows doughy yeast and banana, much like the Blond. Some spicy notes, cinnamon or similar, as well as some slightly hot alcohol. Easy-going flavours with a fair bit of sweet malt showing some caramel. Unfortunately the alcohol still shows through. Mouthfeel is quite rich, unorthodox for a tripel.

Up front: I’m biased towards tripels. Hands down my favorite style of ale. This beer displayed an exceptionally smooth taste with hints of fruit. The flavor was not overpowering and in general, this beer came off as a solid choice for those of you who enjoy the taste of ALE rather than the accents involved in any given ale.

voor mij een zeer mooie body een medium amber kleur. Smaken is een goede frisse fruit smaak en een lichte kruiden smaak die goed naar voor komen bij dit bier. De afdrong is een licht droge en een iets bitter, ook hier komt de fruit smaak weer naar voor.

High carbonation, pours a nice, very slightly hazy gold. Yeasty aromas on the more "ripe" side early on. Mild bitterness and lingering sourness, and the alcohol content is disguised reasonably well. The character evolves nicely as it warms, and the last mouthful leaves you debating whether you should open another.

750mL. Poured dark gold/slightly amber with a nice head that left decent lacing the whole way. Fruity, spicy, sweet, and delicious. Aroma of many different fruits and an alcohol backing. Taste was the same but crisp, carbonated, and lovely. Very refreshing. Definitely one of those beers I would drink every day
