A top fermentation beer based on color malt and pilsner malt and refermentation in the bottle. A spicy, bitter taste with a malty finish that flows into a pleasant bitter mouthfeel.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a blond and huge foamy head. Yeasty, Fruity hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, hints of lemon peel, backed by a cara-malty background and a mildly spicy touch. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm carbonation. Slightly bready cara-malty taste with citric notes and coriander spice; moderately sweet and hoppy and yeasty bitter finish with a present alcoholic strength. 28.XI.13

bottle kindly shared by Rune 14.04.10 at Rating Session. The first thing I noticed was the ugly label: it looked really cheap. Golden body with a big foamy head. Smells of alcohol, brown sugar, candy, cola, bread and yeast. Tastes of grapefruit, honey, coriander, wood and, of course, alcohol. The alcohol aroma was stronger than the taste though.

750 ml bottle into chalice, best before 3/2/2014. Pours lightly cloudy golden orange color with a nice 1-2 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice rocky cap that lasts. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a nice amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big pear, apricot, apple, golden raisin, lemon zest, candi sugar, honey, bread, clove, pepper, herbal, and earthy yeast esters. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of fruity, spicy, and malt notes. Taste of pear, apricot, apple, golden raisin, lemon zest, candi sugar, clove, pepper, bread, honey, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of light fruits, candi sugar, clove, bread, pepper, honey, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of fruity and spicy esters with malt sweetness; and nearly zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a fairly slick, smooth, and lightly prickly that is nice. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with hardly any warming noticed at all after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent tripel style. Great balance and complexity of malt, fruity, and spicy flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A highly enjoyable offering.

33cl bottle. Dorée orangée, col épais crémeux beige. Arôme est houblonné citronné et citronnelle, herbacé avec un bouquet fleuri, levure aussi à noter. Palais est houblonné, herbacé presque raisin blanc, profile restant belge, fruité et herbacé avec un malt résiduel en fin de bouche et une certaine épaisseur de levure qui donne un profile type de triple, cette dernière gardant une pointe d’ester fruité.

Purchased at de Bier Tempel in Brussels, Belgium; enjoyed at my hotel room while working late in Eppingen, Germany. Appearance is a cloudy dark gold with a thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma smells pretty damn good, notes of cinnamon/spice, honey, sweetness, banana, like a good candy. Taste is moderately carbonated with a sweet banana flavor, Belgian ale yeast, fruity. Pretty good stuff, enjoyable.
