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.

Thanks to Solan for the bottle! Hazy gold pour with a fluffy white head. Slightly acidic aroma. Sweet bready flavor with notable hints of fruit. Interesting floral finish

Bottle. Hazy golden brown with a small head. Aromas are brown sugar and caramel with spices. Earthy with ripe pear and bubblegum. Flavours are yeasty with sweet wheat and spices. Some chocolate with weetabix malts. Fruity with a dry finish.

On tap @ the brewery. Pours a hazy golden with a white diminishing head and lacings. Sweet and fruity. Belgian yeast and banana aromas. Doughy hints. Low carbonation. Dry finish.

330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Opens with a slowly moving foam snake. Rich orange, hazy, healthy tight head. More yeast darkens it significantly, and makes it basically turbid. Salty sour aroma, almost sweaty and crotchy. Initial taste has that too, but decent malty body too. Sweet and slightly spicy, but dominated by the crotch that builds up as it warms. Plenty of hops in the finish too - hallertau or similar detected, I’m sure. More yeast softens the aroma, making it less crotchy, and likewise the taste. Still a little acidic in the finish. I’m not sure this beer knows what it wants to be, it’s not an abbey tripel with the sourness we had, more like an ubersaison - spoilt bottle?

Nice hazy golden body with a creamy head. Aroma of coriander, ginger and malt. Taste was apple, toffee, cinnamon, fine hops. That was delicious too!!!

Deep gold body with a lightly off white head. The massive aroma was sweet with ginger and leather. There was also some nice caramel. The taste was sweet caramel apples with some strogn ginger and cinnamon coming through in the finish. Solid.

Excelent aroma, mixture of malts and wood. colour of honey witha subtle head of an tiny orange foam. Flavour is an experience of citrus and strong hops, creamy body. Strong flavor but not noticeable alcohol on it. Delicious!!!
