Bottle, 8.5%. 1999 vintage, 5 years past BB date. OK bready aroma. Quite cloudy orange colour. Small, creamy white head. Good bready flavour with a little flavour hops and spicy aroma hops. Creamy aftertaste. Very rounded finish, slightly warming.

(33 cl bottle at The Rover, Göteborg) Shady orange color, small white head. Fruity sweet marzipan and yeast, sugary scent, also metal. Sweet marzipan and yeast taste. Sweet and alcohol aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Fluffy to creamy off-white head over orange beer with amber shine. Caramel and candy sugar nose, bit herbal & grassy, but not hoppy. Citrus, pickles. Taste is marked by burnt sugar, and sweet-alcoholic tones. Bitterish-sweetish character, with a long-flowing finish, getting sweeter. Just faint citrus notes. Quite dry, despite all the sugars. Texture tripel-thin but alcohol is anything but hidden. Rather coarse tripel, IMO.

Bottled (BB 06/2007)
Golden color, big foamy head, lace. Aroma has metal, burnt sugars and sweetish fruits. Medium-bodied. Good balanced bitterness and malt profile, decent alcoholic bite and long hoppy aftertaste. Hints of brown (burnt) sugars in the flavor. Extra sweetness (sugar) drops total value of this beer more to bulk tripel class, but I wonder what a couple of years in the cellar would do to this.

(Bottle 33 cl) My version with 7% ABV. Golden with a huge, fluffy head. Some bittersweet notes of malt with the hops most pronounced in the finish. Lightly burned malt in this according to the label. Nice and rather classical tripel. 280196

An orange beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coriander and yeast. The flavor is very sweet with lots of coriander and oranges, before the alcohol makes it mark, by warming the mouth. The end is dry spicy both from coriander and hops.

Hazy golden color, huge head, rocky; impressive, chaotic perlage. Besides the obvious aroma for a Tripel, this wonderful beer has a very nice hop note. A very good body, with good malt, and maybe a too high residual sweetness (would prefer if hoppier at the end). A very good one!.
