(Bottle 33 cl) Orangey golden, very unclear with a thick, thick, rocky head. Dry and distinctly bitter, notes of malt and yeast - but not really any traces of sweetness. 120504

The initial taste was a nice sweetness and modest carbonation, but taste was lesser so and dry aftertaste. Foam white head on cloudy yellow-brown . Nice Belgian abbey aroma. Soft creamy mouthfeel. 8% alcohol, its there. One of Holland’s best.

Bottled (BB 05/2006)
Orange hazy, small creamy head. Fruity nose (apricot, coriander). Very carbonated. Fruity: wheat, coriander and yeast. Not show much ABV.

bottle - obtained as a bonus beer from Hopdog - Thanks Steve! - poured hazy amber with a tall white head that lingers and laces quite well. Aroma is yeast,oranges, spices and a touch of honey all blended together. Flavor is much the same. Beautiful on the palate. So smooth for a triple. Balanced beautifully and no alcohol to be found in this one. Very nice tripel.. I loved it..

Very hazy gold, with a long long lasting white large head. Looks brilliant, so tempting. Flavour is a wonderful blend of spices, honey and citric zest. Flavour is a similar blend, wonderful sweet honey start with a long spicy finish. Very well balanced, and alcohol completely hidden. Top stuff.

Man!!!
Wasn’t expecting all that much from this brew but I was Really Impressed!
Another beer sampled while Eric was in town.

Poured a muddled light orangeish-blond body with a thick cream colored head. Fine lacing hangs from start to finish. The aroma and flavor was astoundingly complex: almost farmyard like. Great suggestions of crusty biscuits, Golden Delicious apple, pear and slices of tangerine zest. Suggestions of leather horse saddle a lite funky mustiness… some buttered biscuits….
Evokes nostalgic images of ranch life: Eating lunch on a bale of hay as I sit beneath the shade of a grand oak… I enjoy this beautiful beer from a goblet and smile in content.

Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. Yeasty aroma with lots of bread dough, Red Delicious apple and just a hint of banana. The flavor is lightly Flemish with sweet plum. Not overly spiced. Medium-bodied and very creamy with pillow-soft carbonation. Mid-length, rich, doughy finish. Fairly dry. Props to Matta for sharing his bottle. Great brew!

Fairly clear pale amber. Medium creamy white head fades to thin sheet. Fruity yeast aroma. Tobacco barn. Lime zest. Dry malt in the flavor. Bitterness in finish amplified by low sweetness.
