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.

Cloudy on the pour like a wheat beer. The nose here is a mixture of citrus and malt with the flavour being of the same nature. A bit of sourness in the flavour and some spicy mouthfeel. This is a good ber but it does tend to sit in the realms of mediocrity.

Has a nice clean aroma and taste. Notes of various fruits with a sweet-tart play on the tongue. Some spice and pepper thrown in.

Yeasty aroma, nice golden color. Creamy, fruity flavor with a sour aftertaste. 8% alcohol is masked well in this tripel. Zatte didn’t lay an egg with me.

Pours clear but I missed the shot of yeast that clouded my beer. Spicy, yeasty, citrus sherbert aroma. I fear the flavor is clouded also. Vegetable notes dominate the sweet malt and citrus flavors.

A few floaties in this cloudy, golden-bodied brew. The aroma is a tad spicy, with maybe some bananas. The flavor has some peppery qualities to it. The alcohol is really well-hidden. A little too carbonated to make the palate enjoyable, but its not offensive.

Cloudy, amber/orange appearance with a large white head and very nice lacing. Yeasty, spicy aroma layered with tart fruit. Taste starts a little sweet, yeasty and malty, eases past some fruitiness, before turning hoppier, with more bitterness and spiciness. Full bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a dry, bitter, long lasting finish.

Lightly hazy golden. Lightly spicy aroma , some spicy hops, bits of cardboard. Light to medium bodied. Some apple tart, but very sweet in the finish. Less apparent oxidation in the flavor than in the aroma, but I’m not exactly impressed.
