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) Pours a lightly cloudy golden body with a large off-white head. Aroma is tart and dusty. Flavor of sweet fruit with spicy yeast (nice balance). Clean, light, soft, and creamy mouthfeel. Tasty!

Sweet marzipan malt and yeast with spicy, flowery hops in the aroma. Hazy, golden yellow with initially strong white head that recedes to cover. Malt dominated, sweet flavour has plenty of tropical fruits and a light tartness toward the finish. Very tasty. Smooth and creamy in the mouth. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT and Rastacouere at Spuyten Duyvil (Brooklyn, New York).

Bottle. Pours cloudy light yellow with a large, frothy white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, hay, straw), average hops (flowers, perfume), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, soap, earth) with notes of alcohol and cloves. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a metallic finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness and acidity, light bitterness.

Poured a hazy golden/amber color with an averaged sized white head. Lots of large particles. Aromas of oranges, lemons, apples, cinnamon and honey. Starts of slightly sweet and ends in a nice bitter and sour finish. Fruity, spicy and yeasty flavors.

33cl bottle. Pour a murky orange with a substail heady. good lacing. Aroma is understated fruity. flavor is sweet and malty with a lot of fruit and spice. No alchol whatsoever. Finishes sweet wiht just a bit of warming. Not too complex, but goes down easy. I could drink a ton of this.

Thanks to Solan for suggesting this. Pours cloudy orange gold with lots of carbonation and a thick fluffy white head. Citrus, yeast, and sour aroma. Has a medium bodied, with a sour, orange citrus taste. Very smooth drinking despite the big carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter. An interesting blend of flavors, very good.
