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.

330 ml bottle. Orange golden colour. Clear. Small head. Same brett aroma as found in the dubbel. Apricots and strawberries. High in carbonation. Mellow maltiness. Quite light malt flavour. Some drying floral hops. Fruity and a little grassy finish. Infected. Seems like a problem at the brewery.

[Sampled in 2005.] Another nice brew from Holland. Notes of flowers, some sourness, stickyness, yeast, spices and alcohol. Okay brew!

11.2 oz bottle [best before 7/04]: hazy dark peach with a tight, creamy white head. . . great complex aroma with full yeast, iron, strongly alcoholic vanilla, soughdough, coriander, sweet/ripe bananas, finely cracked pepper and ainse. Full, sticky mouth feel with tangy, sweet orange flesh, fresh clove sticks, cinnamon, and all spice. Outrageously creamy finish with a nice bitterness and an interesting toasted funkiness. Very fun; very tasty.

33cl bottle. Very dusty and dry on the nose with the basement notes developing into some richer, sweeter banana estery aromas. Slightly grassy and musty as well with a touch of cheddar cheese. Subtle and surprisingly complex. Pours a bright gold/copper with a nice sized creamy white head. Plenty of dustiness on the tongue. A mild yeast spice and earthiness. Bread dough and cheese. An interesting and reserved fruitiness comes out of the yeast pour. Very light bretty notes as well toward the bottom of the glass. Creamy on the tongue with lively, but not overpowering carbonation. 8% is deftly hidden. Far from my favorite style, but well crafted nonetheless. Thanks Alan!

Orange cloudiness when poured with lots of floaties.Lots of citrus and grainy flavors.The finish was good and it warmed my belly a little.

Pours medium hazy gold with a thin white head. The nose is an odd floral hop and spice yeast. The flavor has those influences, along with soap an what is best described as cat urine soaked litter box.

Hazy golden colour, small white head. Sweet and smooth tripel, with grassy hops, light malty and some fruits.
