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.

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!

Orange brown colour, nice fluffy head with good lace. spicy nose, smooth malt spiciness, slight yeast character, smooth with slight acidic bitter finish, quite nice.

Hazy orange, faint greenish shine; good yellowish head, slightly irregular. Vanilla, alcohol, grassy nose. Alcohol and burnt caramel determine the character. If "Zatte" (=drunk) was the idea, it's on the spot. But this is far from easily drinkable. Yet reasonably refreshing. Full, slightly slick mouthfeel. Alcoholwarming. Straw/hayflavour in the aftertaste. Quite decent beer, technically excellent. But the sweet, alcoholic taste makes it pretty difficult to enjoy fully.

Hazy golden with a white head. Fruity, yeasty and spicy aroma. Malty and yeasty flavor with lots of fruit in a nice complex beer.

Orange coloured. Fruity and yeasty aroma. The flavour is also fruity and yeasty with a sourish touch in the finish.

Fluffy floral fragrances frolicking with fickle dry green hops...Heathery herb handsomeness hugging hypnotized peaches and assorted pale fruit...An airy agreeableness achieving adventurous accompaniment...

Bottle courtesy of sonah. Pours amber with a nice white head. Smells of sweet malt, sugar, citrus, some tarte undertones. Tastes of dry malt with some nice orange undertones, pepper, apples, lots of malt character. Mouthfeel is thick and full bodied. Finish yields some hints of straw and hay. I really enjoy this one.
