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 peach loaded with swirling sediment and carbonation that appears to originate from the sediment on the bottom of the glass. Weird. Thin off white head (slow pour as this sucker was hissing when I uncapped it). Moderate carbonation, as said. Sweet/tart aroma with light tropical fruit, spices and hamster cage (after a turd dropping). Bubbly body with the sweet/tart flavor and a light tangerine + peel flavor. Spicy but not herby. Not much malt depth and the carbonation gets in the way of letting any flavor settle in. Dry aftertaste with a yeasty bite. Zero hint of alcohol. Finishes tart and dry and yeasty. Very un-trippel like. Decent.

Yellow to orangish color with a quickly dissapaiting white head. Aroma of mushrooms and mold and some cheese funk. A bit of bittereness and peppercorn in the body. weird.

Golden color; giant thick head. Strange aroma, malt, vegetables and sweet oranges. Smooth and sweet, but not characteristic. Thanks Jacob (Lövenlund) for this bottle.

I’m giving this an estimate for the appearance because it was pitch black when i drank it. But it tasted like it wouldve looked nice. slightly tangy, yeasty and sour for a tripel. thick and dusty and dry at finish.

Pours a rich golden with a thick puffy white head. Aroma of bready malts, yeast, and a touch of citrus. Body starts somewhat thin with a musty, dry, and sour maltiness before some peppery off-flavors and a smoother yeasty finish. Nice thin-bubbled carbonation throughout enhaces the mouthfeel. This beer could use some more sweetness and balance.

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.

Bottled. Hazy golden, large white head. Grassy, hoppy flavour. Dry and sourish flavor. A bit geuze-ish.

Bottle - yeasty, malty, a touch of citrus and spice. Deep, dirty gold colored. White, white head. A bunch of floaties! Love the floaties. A good amount of spiciness in the flavor. Long, lingering yeastiness. Nice slight fizziness. This is a good one.
