Fin (2188), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Dec 23, 2007 Bottle picked up from Onlyfineales.com Warm golden colour with rapidly diminishing white foamy head, I felt that as Christmas ales go this was sadly lacking, yeast fruit and spices are all there but I didn’t really think that this was that great.
Calichio (444), Campinas, Brazil Aug 11, 2008 Garrafa 330ml, em agosto/2008. Coloração dourada, creme branco gigantesco, com bolhas grandes, totalmente persistente (como a Duvel). Notas de damasco, fermento, malte e lúpulo. Carbonatação média. Álcool equilibrado. Apesar dos 9%, a drinkability não é comprometida. Final amargo e adocicado, interessante. Boa tripel. BoBoChamp (646), Gent, Belgium Jul 22, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex X-Mas brew, hazy, good head, good brew, but not balanced Enmandslauget (19), Fredericia, Denmark Jun 16, 2008 Let blomme, appelsinskal, malt, krydderi. OK humle men for sød og mangler friskheden fra en "normal" tripel. bhensonb (2880), Woodland, California, USA Jun 4, 2008 33 cl. bottle. Dull gold color with a little white head. Sweet pale fruit aroma. Maybe a touch of spice. Rather lightly sweet with some mild pepper spice. Medium body with creamy carbonation. The heat is present, but doesn’t seem objectionable. Ok, but not an impressive tripel. Finishes neither sweet nor dry. rsamayoa (25), San Salvador, El Salvador May 18, 2008 Bottle: Bright golden color, taste is heavy on hops with nice back grassy and floral notes. Pour a huge white head.
