Bottle: light copper color with a small head that dissipates quickly. A smooth softly sweet Belgian that is not over the top with any flavor, but is quality and nicely representative. Alcohol taste was not noticeable.

Bottle. Clear and golden wth reasonable, although short-lived, white head. Beautiful complex aroma with spice, fruit and malt. Smooth mouthfeel, full bodied with good carbonation. The flavour is excellent and quite complex. It starts with some fairly clean fruit and malt tastes and then some spiciness kicks in. The main spiciness is coriander. It ends with a fair amount of hoppy bitterness and alcohol and some very long lingering fruity (banana) notes. Overall an excellent beer and a somewhat unusual tripel; not very complex and with a fairly bitter finish.

0.33L bottle. Small quickly disapearing head, deep darkish golden colour with some sediment at the end. Aroma of fruit smoked meat (maybe bacon) and a touch of malt. Carbonation is extremely strong, almost abrasive. Flavour of peach, melonand cremy vanila with a strong sweet alcoholic presence. Aftertaste is fruity, long and lingering.

A clear yellow colored beer, with a huge white head. The glass for this beer is huge too. The head head disappears quite soon. The aroma has nice coriander, spices, malts and some fruit. The taste is malty too, sweet with nice fruits and malty tones. It’s not to complex beer, but very tasteful.

Good, strong flower smell. There is a great fruit taste on the back end of the flavor. Good aftertaste but leaves quickly.

Beautiful golden color with thing large bubble head. Nice floral and fruity aroma and very smooth high quality feel. Fruity aftertaste that is a little sour.

Poured a light hazy straw gold with a very thick and profuse, creamy, off white head. The aroma was sweet and sharp, some spice, not as up front as expected. The flavor was spicy, warm from alcohol, dry hopped it seemed.

nice aroma of spice and pineapple. Pour is a bit disappointing with large bubbles and thin head. Flavour is great, range of fruits and some breadiness that finishes with a long bitter finish. Very good beer indeed, the alcohol does not interfere on the flavour profile.
