hazy golden to orange colour, large, though not too stable off-white head; aroma of bread, tropical fruits, floral and earthy notes; taste is rather malty than hoppy with tropical fruity, earthy andyesty notes; good, but not a typical IPA

33cl bottle in the new K & S Beer & Tobacco store/tasting room in Brugge on Sunday 7th Feb 2016. Clean orange pour with a full white head. Hop lead with grass, grapefruit and other citrus notes overpowering any yeast or malty aromas. In the taste there is more balance as the malts assert themselves a little. Decent and a change from all the really heavy beers Belgium is usually known for (that and lager of course).

Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a compact, off-white head. Fruity aroma of orange peel, lemon, pale malt and dry hay. The flavor is also fruity with more oranges, grapefruit, fruity hops and grass. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a balanced bitterness. A fruity and malty IPA. Well-balanced and easy-drinking.

Ambar amarillenta, turbia. Aspecto de tripel con espuma efervescente blanca poco duradera. Bastante aromática, frutal. Melocoton. Lo mantiene en boca. Frutal y cremosa al principio. Con una base malteada muy agradable pero bien lupulada. Evolución hacia final carbonico, con aire de cava, seco y bastante amargo, aunque manteniéndo el recuerdo frutal, de melocoton. Bastante buena, especie de tripel afrutada.
