Deep golden coloured body with almost an amber and copper glow, all without much head at all, after starting with a centimetre and a half of a tan head. Aroma of honey, peated malt, grain, astringent nuts and earth, a dose of flowers and some pure caramelised sugars that doesn't really amount to anything Belgian and definitely nothing of a Tripel. Medium-bodied; Strong sweet honey flavour at first that shows a lot of pungency with the grain and nutty flavours showing right behind and leaving the palate a bit sharp with the alcohol and bitterness from the sweetness the strongest of the bunch. Aftertaste shows a little nutty and earthy flavours with the grain and astringency quite high, but the honey again shows through and topples everything else, even alcohol. Overall, a decent enough beer, but definitely not a tripel, and sadly, not anything Belgian-inspired. I saved this one for last, since I thought it was my last hope of finding a good beer produced down here, but I was mistaken - I believe my favourite of the bunch was the 'typical' Hinano Amber. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased yesterday from Champion [supermarche] in [downtown] Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia on 31-July-2019 for XPF380 sampled the following day, before leaving for Tokyo, Japan, later at my hotel here in Papeete.
