From Sep 2006
Poured from 750ml (notched L4-03) light gold with a medium sized head of foam that sharank down to a fine layer quickly. Plenty of lacing....
The smell has strong notes of sweet caramel mixed with some alcohol.
The taste is less sweet than the nose indicated. There *is* some caramel malt there along with fruity tones of plum, apple, and cherry and a good kick of lemony sourness near and through the finish. The alcohol is also noticeable and does have a warming effect but it doesn't dominate so we're ok there.
Bottom line: A good Tripel that's worth having from time to time.

Flaske fra Belgisk Bryg (København), delt med Ovesen etter tapping av vår Green Bullet ESB: lett uklar gylden med flott skum som varer. Mild og balansert aroma og smak med lyse frukter/bær og hvit kandis. Myk bitterhet i avslutningen. Kjedelig og intetsigende.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 07.04.17. Slighty hazy golden. White head and lacing. Fruity aroma of Continental hops and Belgian yeast. Taste of Belgian yeast, succade, white candi sugar, pale malt and Continental hops. Not particularly exciting.
