Nice amber colour. Quite sweet taste. Some smoke in the nose. Some hints of lemon in the taste. Not ver special. Tasted at Pikkulintu.

Bottle. This was a big disappointment. I was warned that the beer wasn’t good fresh, but supposedly better now. If that’s the truth, it shouldn’t have been sold at all. There’s a lot of grapefruity sourness in both aroma and flavor, it’s dusty, citric and not much else. A faint touch of spices struggle to be seen, and there’s a hint of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Oh, I almost forgot the medicine and burnt plastic like flavors. Had a quite small sample, but wasn’t even near finishing it. Well, at least it looked decent, with it’s hazy, golden body and a small white head. Surely gone bad, and shouldn’t be sold. (080811)

500 ml bottle. Golden body with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, spicy and medicine. Flavor is a bit of grapefruit dominated by plastic and rubber. This is not drinkable at all. Checking through the other ratings here, it seems like some are very pleased and some other agree with me. Different batches or something happening over time? I don’t think it’s possible at all to finish this bottle I tasted.

Suprisingly bad. I am not impressed with this one. Yellow and still, hardly any head. Smokey smell, doesn’t feel as it should be. Lots of unplesant acidity. Just plain bad.

Bottle at Bishops Arms, Stockholm. Quite clear golden colour-only the good and stable offwhite head distinguishes it from a lager. Strange aroma. I am sure it is of smoked malts- it is not unpleasant, but unusual for a trippel! The tastebuds encounter a strangely sweet beer with smokey notes. It is a drinkable beer, but maybe more likely a räuchmärzen than a trippel.
