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.

On tap. Cloudy orange aroma with a creamy white head. Aroma of floral hops and a little spicy coriander. A little sweet malty flavor with hints of honey, coriander and yeast. Sweet floral hoppy aftertaste.

Bottled. A hazy amber coloured beer with anice white head and good lacing. The aroma is sweet and spicy with hints of grapefruit. The taste is drier than expected with some spiciness. Although the beer is pleasant enough the finish is quite short and I get the impression there is still a bit of ’finding its feet’ about this beer.

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.

Hazy golden ale with a thick creamy white head. Pleasant funky Orval aroma, coriander and herbal hops. In mouth, smooth lightly sweet malts, with ground cherries, coriander and light spicey final. Creamy, smooth. Very much in Orval style. Bought at Knighly Liquors, Orlando, 4.49$

Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy light amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, cookie), moderately hoppy (flowers), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of banana, baked apples, cotton candy. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, velvety/creamy texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic. For some reason I can’t really get full excited about this one. It’s nice, all the components are there, but it’s just not quite a 4+ beer. Close, though. Could be slightly more bitter.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Yellow colour. Heavy hoppy and yeasty aroma. Not great but powerfull flavor with heavy mango notes. Long finish. Creamy palate. Not my favorite.

33 cl bottle. Foggy, yeasty light golden, medium lasting head. Lightly spicy apple/banana/orange nose. Light, honeyish orangey-grapefruity initial flavor, decaying into yeasty light sourness towards the end, but with a bit of citrusy bit throughout. It’s fine, but nothing special.

a bit weird and composty with some chicken salt or maybe that was ostrich salt
