0.33l bottle at Beerdello. Almost clear golden body, off-white head. Floral hoppy notes over some light phenolic, bit yeasty touches, pear ester as it warms. Lean dry taste, floral, touch of clean sweet maltiness, pear and vague banana esters go up as it warms. Finishes lightly woody, dry, herbal, bitterish. Actually, enjoying this a ton, as a tripel, it's lacking. As a golden strong with CZ hops, it's very enjoyable!

Disappointing. Dark gold with a medium sized fluffy head. Yeasty, phenolic, musty and medicinal. Long finish. Medium body.

Aromas are malt, dry grain, candy sugar, and a little mineral. Flavors are similar to nose, mildly sweet. Kind of a toned down version of a better Belgian strong blonde. Definitely drinkable but nothing special.

Aroma of grainy malt, yeasty notes, a bit floral, sugary notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Very average Belgian Strong Ale.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, biscotto, frutta secca, erbaceo, agrumi ed alcol presente.
