Commercial Description:
A golden Tripel-style ale. A little lighter in alcohol, but not in flavor, than Westmalle, and more drinkable. It matches the best of Belgium.

This has one of the most unique flavors I have had from a beer. Medium white head with sediment with opaque butterscotch color. Strong Bananas and caramel nose. Citrus spicey yet Malty cultured yeast that taste like meaty liver with onions in there at least that’s what I get out of the hops. Bitter finish. It smells one way and tastes entirely different very complex. Excellent beer.

33cl bottle. Pour a murky orange with a substail heady. good lacing. Aroma is understated fruity. flavor is sweet and malty with a lot of fruit and spice. No alchol whatsoever. Finishes sweet wiht just a bit of warming. Not too complex, but goes down easy. I could drink a ton of this.

Yellow to orangish color with a quickly dissapaiting white head. Aroma of mushrooms and mold and some cheese funk. A bit of bittereness and peppercorn in the body. weird.

11.2 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy orange with a nice frothy white head, lots of faint lacing all the way to the end. Aroma is good, but a little weak in my opinion. Smells of yeast, fruit (apple, tangerine), kind of musty. Flavor is pretty good, exactly what I’d expect from a triple, but somehow very little alcohol despite the 8%. Palate is lively on the tongue, then becomes very creamy for the finish. Really a pretty good beer all around, very very drinkable.

Large, frothy, lasting head. Orange medium body. Heavily hopped aroma. Feels bubblegum, grape, apple and melon. Some vanilla is also felt at first. Yet, it evaporates fast. The fruity aroma is stable. Sweet, a bit acidic. Bitter finish. The same fruits are felt in the flavor as in the aroma. Becomes more sweeter while drinking.

Draught. This beer is sticky and very unpleasant. I has the typical Dutch yeast taste which I don’t like. Very boring beer.

Draught at Ølbaren. Cloudy yellow coloured with a small off white head. Acidic aroma with lots of fruits and spices. Fruity flavour with lots of spices. Well hidden alcohol.

This bottle conditioned brew poured a medium sized head of frothy white colored fine to medium sized bubbles that left behind a hazy slightly carbonated body with fine yeast particle floaties. It had a mild malty floral aroma and a very good lacing. The mouth feel was initialy tingly and malty with a mellowing in its finish and a mild fruity aftertaste. The flavor was fruity in a flowery way with a solid malt base.
