Very light flavoring and very easy to drink. I agree with other raters that it was very "tripel" in nature. Great bier, recommend trying it. iep (229), Amsterdam, Netherlands
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Feb 22, 2007 Murky orange (lots of sediment) out of a small 25cl bottle. Large, steady head. Grassy/floral hoppy aroma. Hoppy taste, balanced out by nice sweet-ish malt and bready yeast. A bit bland and one dimensional. Good mouthfeel, but very light on carbonation. Gets bonus points for the low price (less than 1$ for a bottle).
