Nose of spice apple and some tartness. Slightly hazy gold with a small, fizzy, white head. Flavor is of sour apples with a hint of rears.

Bottle. Golden beer with a huge white head. Floral, perfume aroma. Yeasty, apple, floral, some spice and bread all in the flavor. High carbonation. Alcohol present in taste and warming. Dry finish. Could pass on it.

Light golden ale with a thin white silky head. Aroma of pears and coriander. Sweet spiced malt with coriander notes, a rather light triple, without much character. Enjoyed at YEHa!05 Christmas Party on Dec. 17th, 2005.

(bottle) Slightly hazy yellow colour with a frothy white medium head. Strong pear fruity and yeasty aroma. Bitterfruity flavour, medium body, lively carbonation. Sweet malty and fruity taste with yeasts, dry and fruity, a bit vinous (Sherry), light bitter, slightly spicy finish with obvious hints of alcohol. Definitely not uninteresting but a bit strange Triple.

Bottle: Hazy, yellow coloured with a touch of orangey, thin foamy layer; fruity nose (mainly pears and peaches) with traces of alcohol and yeast; intial sweet and fruity taste, mild sweetish flavour; pears, again, in the fruity and a bit tart finish; warming and tasty, quite well hidden alcohol and relatively light bodied for a brew of that strength.

Draught. Hazy yellow colour, huge white foamy head. Strong aroma of lemon and yeast. Smooth flavour of citric fruit along with biting hops. Some yeast also noteable. Pleasant.

Bottle. Aroma is very much like sweet white wine. Hazy golden colour, small unstable white head. Fruity flavour, nicely peppery and freshly citric. Tastes a little oxidized. Full mouthfeel. High carbonation. Not as bitter and harsh as many tripels. Nice for a tripel, but I think I would prefer it fresh (3 months past BB date).

Hazy yellow, good creamy off-white head. Lemony, yeasty, alcoholic aroma. Carbonated, smooth mouthfeel. Flavor has mango, molasses, yeast ... hops are there too underlying. Quite sweet trippel.

Bottled. Blond colour, sparkles of a white beer. Little sweet aroma, also yeasty. Dito flavour, also a bit 'sticky' and malt.
