Jun 26, 2007 One of the highlights of RBSG ’07. This beer might be the world’s second best tripel after Karmeliet. A very sweet and complex beer. Orange in color and an aroma that includes coriander, orange, bitter hops, and wild grass. Sweet and lots of sugar but also citrus, and pear, as well as more coriander and peach. A minor burn from alcohol, which is OK in a tripel. The beer is quite thick and like Syrup. Thanks for Yesper for carrying two giant bottles of this to the Twin Cities. I tasted from bottle 91.

Oct 29, 2006 Updated: Feb 22, 20072005 edition. Dense floral bouquet, hay and a massive white head bids the drinker welcome after chopping through the thick laquer seal and popping the cork. In the mouth, the spices, dryness and yeast so typical of Belgian ales come out to play. Full-bodied with a long, long aftertaste. Alcohol more present than usually so for a ’mere’ 10,2% in Belgian tradition. Settles fantastically well in your system, underlining a notion of great craftsmanship. A very fine beer indeed.

Dec 13, 2006 Draught – Beautiful deep golden body, white creamy head; Amazing nose, perfect sized, deep, complex, lots of different aromas: Greek yoghurt with honey, soft sweet cherry. This nose is perfect in any way; Super soft body that needs a bit more complexity and balance to be perfect, bitter, sweet with a little warm sweet fruity acidity, a little to little carbonation; Super long finish, bitter, sweet and a little dry, again lots of aroma. Amazing beer.

Dec 10, 2006 On tap @ Ølbaren. 2005 vintage. Popurs a clear golden with a white head + lacings. Smells of malts, yeast and ever-so-slightly sour. Sweet and flowery. Slightly grassy hopsprofile. Sharp loong crispy dry finish. Also grassy in the very late finish. Hides alcohol very well. Lovely.

Nov 18, 2007 2005 1.5L bottle at the RBSG grand tasting on 6/23/07 thanks to yespr: Pours a hazy pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of sweet pale light caramel malt and bready biscuity yeast with light floral hops and good complexity. Body starts full and viscous with nice sweet, lightly floral grassy complexity and bready doughy yeast. A very nice Belgian tripel.

Jul 4, 2007 Bottled. Yellow coloured. Uncleaer. Dense off white head. Sweetness, yeast, fruits and spice in the aroma. Flavour is yeasty and fruity as well. Has some sweetness and spices. Alcohol is quite notable. Quite smooth and pleasant. Medium to full bodied. Heavy warming end with light spicy notes. Very good brew. Had it around christmas on draught @ Ølbaren. That sample seemed a bit old and dusty.
