Bottle. Cheap from Lidl. Nose is slightly sulpherous, grass, lychee, some fruity esters, peach. It smells slightly awkward. Taste is grassy, slightly sweet, and flat cardboard taste akin to a macro lager, corriander, dry medicinal finish. It’s not a very pleasant beer and probably the worst triple I’ve tasted. It was cheap but bad value.

23rd May 2015: 330ml bottle into a Corsendonk badged stemmed tulip. Poured the whole bottle in, so the sediment clouded the orange/golden body somewhat. The head being a white blanket which did not hang around too long. Hops and yeasty esters rule the nose, the taste also has a hop lead. Not your typical Abbey Tripel, no malt presence in either the aroma or flavour: decent enough but I expected and wanted more from the brew.

330 ml bottle into chalice, N29ID bottle code. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a small foamy off white head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing very quickly. Minimal glass lacing and some moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange, pear, apple, white grape, light banana, pepper, clove, honey, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with solid complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and pale malt notes; with decent strength. Taste of lemon, orange, pear, apple, white grape, light banana, pepper, clove, honey, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fair amount of earthy yeast spiciness and light herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange, pear, apple, white grape, light banana, clove, pepper, honey, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good robustness and solid complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and pale malt flavors; with a good malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and slightly slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a pretty solid tripel style. All around solid complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, earthy hops, and pale malt flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A fairly enjoyable offering.
