Exquisite, intriguing and complex aroma, full of heady flowers and sweet fruits, with hints of honeydew melon, pear, dried apricot, pineapple, mandarin orange, turbinado sugar, anise, coriander and in the background, a faint, green, leafy, somewhat minty note. Dark amber color with golden highlights, faintly hazy, and with a subsiding, fine and lightly creamy head. Flavor profile is lightly sugary and estery to start with suggestions of banana, pomegranate and clove, followed by a mild peppery spiciness and influx of light acidity, and with a sweet, lightly floral, nicely balanced and lasting finish. Certainly full-bodied but with a lush, creamy and smoothly effervescent mouthfeel. Alcohol is nigh undetectable. Yeast pour added some doughy touches here and there. Incredible stuff.

Aug 21, 2008 22oz bottle from hannont on 5/8/08/ Pours a cloudy yellow amber color. Excellent aroma, of a little bit of banana, some corriander. really nice. Taste is sweet, easy to drink. A bit orange zest melds with the sweetness. Excellent. Truly one of the best Belgian triples. A pleasant surprise. I feel no qualms about rating this much higher than the average.

Jul 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 9, 2008I really enjoyed this, very traditional, and true to style. A nice tribute to regional Belgian styles, and this brewery has it in spades. Lots of effervescent lighter fruits in this one, pears, grapes, and a light yeastiness, which mellows into a nice creamy mouthfeel. Very drinkable, finishing very dry on the palate.

Jul 19, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Produces a decent head atop a cloudy orange body. The orange is clearly noticeable on first aroma. This beer is surprisingly smooth and mellow considering its ABV. Not a huge fan of this variety but this stuff is OK.
