Dedollewaitor (2036), Odense, Denmark Aug 26, 2008 My rating # 1982: The year I was born. 75cl bottle. Thanks a lot to Jan & Charlotte for sharing this. Pours cloudy amber/orange with a fine stable white head & lacings. Nose is very fine: Yeasty, vinous, woody sweet & fruity. Complex & wauw. Super palate. Smooth, sticky & filling. Alcohol warmth. Crisp! Nice one & up there with the regular Tjeeses! ChristianScheffel (2087), Odense, Denmark Aug 25, 2008 Muddy orange with a small white head. Fresh and fruity yeast aroma with citrus, pineapple, bubblegum and some herbal hop notes. Flavour is fruity and spicy with alcohol and a slightly tannic dry finish.
Tasted opposite the regular Tjeeses, this really lacks in complexity and spiciness. DSG (844), Yuvalim, Israel Aug 9, 2008 (6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Hazy orange color with an off-white head. Aroma is quite hoppy with some citrus and some fruits. Sweet flavor with some malt, light yeasty notes, fruits and some citric bitterness in the finish. Marsiblursi (1400), Göteborg, Sweden Aug 8, 2008 (Bottle) Pours hazy golden amber. The aroma is heavily floral and medium sweet with a complex tropical fruitiness of mango and peach alongside notes of spices, wood and vanilla. The flavour is fruity, floral and woody with notes of vanilla, mango, oranges and yeast. The sweetness is just perfect for the style. The mouthfeel is creamy. Medium to full bodied. A fantastic, near perfect Triple. I love. RagallachMC (630), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Aug 6, 2008 750ml bottle. Thanks to miketd for sharing. Aroma: Oak comes through first with notes of vanilla and toasted nuts. Cinnamon, oranges, bananas, yeast, caramel corn, light floral, and alcohol notes. Appearance: Rusty brown in color and cloudy. Off0white head was full and creamy with good retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Very similar to the aroma. Baker’s spices (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg), apples and oranges, bananas and caramel, oak and vanilla, chocolate and nuts. Alcohol is present throughout. Finishes dry with just a hint of tartness. Palate: Medium bodied and creamy. Medium-high carbonation. Pleasant alcohol warmth in back of mouth. Overall: Another great beer from Struise. The best Tripel I’ve had in a while. Great flavors and complexity.
