Bouteille de 330ml Nos yeux contemplent cette bière de couleur ambrée trouble et qui possède un col de mousse parfait. Au nez on découvre des arômes de fleurs, de levure fruitée, de fruits jaunes avec des esters d’alcool. En bouche le corps est rond avec une effervescence crémeuse. Au départ on goûte des saveurs de grain, vient ensuite des saveurs florales, fruitées et subtilement épicées et pour finir une bonne amertume citronnée en coalition avec des notes d’alcool. Excellent et complexe.

Hazy deep yellow with huge white head. Clove, yeast, musty nose. Sweet but dry spiced flavor. Some citrus hops. Candy sugar. Hides the alcohol well.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy brownish orange with a large, white head. The head has great retention. Musty yeast, orange, spice, a bit lemon, and ripe fruit in the nose. Medium-high carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. The carbonation is very fine and quite nice. Spice, light honey notes, orange, and a ripe fruit sweetness. The lingering finish is sweet and dry. Quite nice! I must say, this really is an excellent tripel!

Bottle. Pours with a large white lasting head and a burnt orange colour. Has a bready-orange aroma and clove-honey flavour with a subtle bitterness to the finish and a pleasant alcoholic warmth

Very hazy yellowish-orange with a lot of sediment and moderate head, aroma is extremely orange and spicy, flavor has strong alcohol presence, coriander, orange slight bitterness, finishes dry with strong alcohol presence... I don’t feel my sample lived up to the hype.

33cl bottle poured into a Westmalle Trappist glass. Cloudy orange with three finger head. Smells fruity, kind of like cotton candy or bubble gum. Sweet tasting with a lot of hoppy undertones. You can really taste the alcohol in this one. Palate is really smooth with a bit of carbonation. Not a bad aftertaste but you can tell you’ve been drinking alcohol. Can’t drink it all the time but a good beer.

Hard to think of something better. A pleasure through and through. I only wish I could buy this by the case without putting me in the poorhouse.
