Fredagsbaren pĺ biologi, Aarhus Bottled - on tap somewhere in Aarhus Beatifull colour and head. Smells of citrus and lots of yeast. Carbonation is high and so is the alcohol flavor

11.2oz bottle. Pours copper/orange, with frothy off-white head. Head lasts a while, and leaves light lacing. Aroma of citrus, smoke, and light hops. Taste is lightly sweet and moderately acidic, and finishes a bit bitter. Light to medium body, dry texture, and soft carbonation. Lighter and more quenching than some other trappist ales. Very good!

Bottle pours a cloudy golden clover honey color with a slight white head. Aroma includes citrus peel, honey, yeast, and spices. Has a sweet dry flavor that reminds me of white wine. Nice aftertaste. Lively carbonation.

330mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy, dark gold with a big, coarse head. Very rich aroma, notes of lemon and banana. Rich, deep flavour. Mild spice up front, with thick malt at the centre. Sweet finish, with a touch of herbal hops at the end. Doesn’t have the astringency of a Chimay White. Excellent.

(33cl bottle, BBE 12/2007). Hazy golden yellow, lacing white head. Nose is fresh with honey, fruits and some wheat. A bit mineral tinge. Flavor has strong exotic fruits (banana, orange, mango), spices and some alcohol. Finishes chalky dry with perfumey hops and faint vinous tartness. Medium to full bodied, smooth and foamy carbonation. Nicely fruity, shows it’s ABV, but not disturbingly. I guess some bottle age has done the trick.

Fantastic tripel from Westmalle me la bevo e mi rilasso pensando a Marco Attilio Regolo e Lucio Manlio Volsone che sbarcano in Africa (al Capo Bon) nel 256 a.C.

Hazy golden with a dense head. Spicy aroma with notes of coriander citrus, straw, orange peels and yeast. The flavour is sweet and has a bit of vanilla and a fresh bitternes to complete the spicy base. Unfurtunately the alchohol is too present.

Pours a hazy gold with abundant white head. Smells of fruits and spice. Taste is spices with a bitter component on the back of the tounge. I preferred the Double over this, but it is still a fine beer.
