Mar 8, 2008 bottle thanks to andrew who gave this to me just for expressing my desire to try it.... pours a cloudy orangey brown with a persistent white head that accumulate towards the edges..... tons of bready dough and yeast on the nose accompanied by strong sweet and placticky phenols that does not add to much to it. lightly spiced. aroma didn’t do too much for me.... sweet bready, light citrus and finishes somewhat sour which i’m not quite sure where that came from?..... not too good i’m afraid.

Feb 17, 2008 The aroma has spicies, yeast, pepper and alcohol. The flavor is acidly or perhaps sour with pepper, yeast and alcohol. It was a disapointing taste.

Feb 1, 2008 Bottle courtesy of fonefan: Poured a deep dirty beige color ale with a huge foamy head with perfect retention and some great lacing. Aroma of fruity (peach) ester with a spicy peppery yeast. Taste is also a mix between the very nice fruity ester and the peppery yeast with a dry hoppy finish. Body is full with limited filtration and great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Maybe a touch too sweet for my personal tastes but a very good example of the style nonetheless.

Jan 31, 2008 Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Hazy orange color with off-white head. I found a slight hoppy aroma that might actually be minty with dough and yeast. Flavor is orange, malt, sweet caramel and alc. Heavily carbonated and light to medium body. Really interesting and nice orange.

Jan 26, 2008 Fad. Meget skuffende. Ligner friskpresset æblejuice med et meget lille skumhoved. Masser af overmoden frugt i duften, intet til at tage det let kvalmende væk fra det. Denne går videre i smagen, som også mangler modspil fra både gær alkohol og humle til at komme igennem denne frugt. Heldigvis bliver det bedre efterhånden som de 10 % slår igennem. Det trækker lidt op.

Jan 20, 2008 Bottle from SL. The pour was pale and hazy yellow/golden, sparkling carbonation, nice initial white head, thinning to a thin covering, steady lacing, nothing fancy, though. The aroma was candied apples and grapes, some floral lavendar/spicing aspects, light grass. Flavor followed suit, candied apples and grapes, grass, faint yeasty notes, dry finish, well attenuated. Sweet-sour interplays going on, far from sweet and cloying, dryness and tartness both keeping things a little balanced. A nice strong golden ale, imo.
