Pours nicely into a chalice, head is a little thin but I think that’s picking hairs. it looks appetizing for sure. There isn’t much on the nose, though - just some grassy notes, malts, sweetness. Flavour is a very heavy and syrupy affair without any real complexity to my palate. Lots of malt and alcohol, a slightly dry finish, and that’s about it. I was hoping for more.

Bottled 33cl. It pours an almost clear amber beer with a decent-sized head. Some lacework. A lot of caramel, cinnamon, peach and slight acetone and banana in the nose. Caramel accentuated taste. Sweet with hints of coconut. Very low carbonation. Sweet sticky finish which is reminiscent of coconut and cinnamon and some hops struggling through. Not bad but far from being a good tripel. The hop profile is pretty nice but overpowered by some sticky sweetness.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear gold, thick lasting beige. Some peachy estery aroma. Quite interesting and very drinkable. Rather a nice estery strong blond/tripel.

Yellow hazy amber colour with an thick creamy white head. Aroma is corny and with some faint spices notes. Flavor of spicy yeast and floral hops. Medium body.

Clear golden coloured beer with small white head and lots of carbonation. Yeasty fruity aroma. Full palate, bit sparkling. Finish is bitter herby ending a little dry.

Une bonne bière belge d’abbaye. Elle est un peu forte à mon gout, mais garde un gout assez prononcé et légèrement sucré.

<b>Bottle 33cl. @ home.</b>

Aroma is moderate to light light heavy malty, spicy, sweet, moderate to light light heavy yeasty hoppy. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, nad a peppery finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081017]

Bottle thanks to Bonfunck. In a comparison with Flierefluiter. Odd resemblance. Pours blond with a white metallic head. Lively carbonation. Medium bodied. Short finish.
