Oct 27, 2009 27/10/2009. 330ml bottle from Beerstore. Hazy pale gold. Throws a little jellied citrus fruit on the nose with an underlying herbal alcohol character. Sulphur sneaks a peek. Head fades but laces well. Simple in the mouth, similar to what I expected given the nose but sulphur on the palate detracts even more so than it did on the nose. Agh... if I wasn’t doing my GST return I’m not sure I would have kept drinking this. Somehow the acrid sulphurous yeast character balanced the bitterness of parting with cash that I should have never have received in the first place. Thumbs down.

Sep 30, 2007 Draught at brewpub. Nose is yeast, citrus (lemon), and mild spice. Very cloudy, nearly opaque pale orange. Unimpressive color with an impressive foamy head. Nice lacing. Clean citrus flavor, opens sour and finishes sweet. Full bodied and satisfying mouthfeel.

Mar 22, 2003 Now this is a different Triple. Fruity malty and yeasty. Lots of lingering yeast in glass. Finishes very dry.

Nov 4, 2006 33 cL. Bottle. It pours a medium pale color with a white head and slick lacing. The nose has fresh fruit and malt aromas. The flavor is spicy, and full of malt but also with a tart acidy finish. It has a nice dry and crisp mouthfeel. Very well done beer.

Mar 27, 2006 Bottle. Gusher. Smells like fermented shoe with exotic spice. Looks like a wonderful golden orange cloudy abbey Tripel with a beautiful, lasting layer of eggshell head, and an attractive, tight layer of lacing. This does not taste right or anything like what the other raters are noting. Methinks, sadly, this is an infected bottle. I’ll try it again when I’m in Amsterdam in May. Rating given is per RB average. Bottle purchased from Oliver’s.

May 22, 2005 [from bottle @ Copenhagen Beer Festival 2005]
My notes say "spicy cinnamon hoppy". I’ll have to take them at face value, since I don’t remember this.

Dec 2, 2005 Poured a cloudy golden color with minimal to no head. It has an odd tarty, messed-up apple aroma that is somewhat pungent. Sharp mouthfeel with a very quick burst of orange-y, appley flavor that completely goes away very quickly. Zero aftertaste. Didn’t enjoy it.
