12 oz. bottle. Pour is translucent golden-pear with a light but sizeable head. Aroma is spicy and yeasty. A potent underlying alcohol flavor with moments of spice and florals and a balance of hops and malt. Dry finish. Interesting. Almost exotic, but that’s likely descriptive of the style itself. The intricate amalgam of lightness, froth, and eastern spices conveys an almost meditative, ascetic quality. A good beer, but a little spicy.

Deceptively dangerous...bright yellow golden pour, tons of fluffy white head, nice lacing...very yeasty and spicy, nice balance between malt and hops, hides the strong alcohol content very well

12oz bottle. Murky gold pour with a big bright white head that sticks around for a while. nice spicy aroma of pineapple and pear. funky sweet yeast and banana taste with cinnamon and cloves (I think). texture is thin to medium with lots of bubbly carbonation. quick unremarkable finish. nothing outrageous - but nice and drinkable.

Slightly hazy light-gold pour with minimal head. Fresh citrusy aroma. Taste is spicy, floral and sweet. Black pepper, hay, green apples. Alcohol is perfectly hidden. Very good tripel; taste-wise it remind me of Achel.

Little to no head. Very clear. Taste was very smooth. Enjoyed this one. Alcohol is hidden very well considering its 9.5 volume.

Nice golden color, lightly hazy and with brownish tint. Spicy aroma with subtle notes of fruit. Heavy but smooth at the same time.

Bottle. It’s a slightly cloudy golden colour in the glass with minimal head. The aroma has some lime with honey and alcohol. Medium in body. There is plenty of alcohol up front in the flavour with more lemon, grain, apple. This might do better with a bit of time in the cellar to mellow out the heavy taste of alcohol.
