Poured from big bottle. Aroma of orange, cake and raisin. Cloudy golden, seafoam head. Uh oh - major sediment floating around in there. Flavors of orange, angel food cake, banana, spice, pepper. Alcohol in back. Highly drinkable. Still, the sediment makes this look like a science experiment. Finished OK, with alcohol more apparent, but I poured the last inch of the bottle into the garden to avoid the sediment.

Huge head! I like the smell, very beerish. Very simple beer with a combination of pail malt, bitter and dry clean finish. Not bad at all.

Bottle: Cloudy, stable creamy off-white head, deep golden to orangey coloured, leaving a nice lace; deep sweet and fruity nose (oranges, orange-peel) with shades of toasted malt and candy-sugar in the background; very robust sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied: "mouth-filling", creamy MF; oranges again in the finish, followed by a zesty bitterness retronasal. Great, very pleasant..............

Very Pale and light. Nose has a bunch of sugar, light alcohol, and wintergreen, beautiful tripel flavor profile with a cotton candy fade, somewhat sweet. This is the best tripel I have had to date...excellent...pairs really well with spicy foods

Beautiful golden pour. Fluffy white head yields to a substantial lace cap. Sweet bananna on the nose follows through in the mouth but is artfully balanced by a slight bitterness on the finish. Nice carbonation. Alcohol lends a pleasant warmth, but isn’t obnoxious.

bottled 330ml bought in Watou 100 meters from the brewery
app ; medium lasting white head, hazy amber body, visible lively carbonation
aro ; very mature malts collection, of course yeast and orange
tast ; very tangy, at the beggining difficult to determine the taste, strong yeast, is it wheat beer? no , the label does not support this thought, says clearly "Barley malt", some citron notes an the finish, also some alcohol is easy no notice, after all it is 8%, also pepper in palate as one of me predecessors noted, the rest of my opinion in given by the ratings
