Draught Very good, lightly off-white head, dense, over veiled orange amber beer. Dry, herbal nose. Garden herbs, carrots. Bitter-spicy-vegetable with some outspoken yeasty notes. Finish is liqueurish, as an artichoke liqueur, with a long-lasting bitterish-spicy aftertaste. Medium bodied, Spritzy feel but ending dry. Wants to be too much Triple (BE) to be 100% convincing.

(Bottle) Cloudy mid brown with off-white head. Aroma has pleasant yeasty esters, pepper, alcohol and hints of sweet fruitiness. Full bodies, creamy velvety with some stickiness. Interesting and unusual flavor profile. It starts characteristic if a string Belgian beer and finishes with some noticeable hoppy bitterness - guess that the Triple + IPA. The foretaste has caramel sweetness and stone fruit. Peppery spice develops and then some rather harsh bitterness leads into a long finish. The alcohol is not apparent in the taste. This is an interesting combination of styles, and quite enjoyable; however the hops are a little harsh.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Italian Beerfest ’13. Orangée, col épais crémeux beige. Arôme est dominé par le malt avec un houblonné qui arrive juste en rétro-nasal et donne cette impression de houblon bouillis. Note de grains avec un rappel à un bol e céréales. Palais est malté, note de sève de houblon-huileux-jus. Malt pâle-caramel pour une pétillance moyenne, amertume légère. Pas mauvaise, mais le profil général des houblons semble trop atténué par les grains.

Sampled draft @ CML Italian Beer Festival 2013. Thx! to Sebletitje. Slightly hazy amber orange with a patchy white head. Smell is sweet caramel, slightly fruity, thick malts, touch booze,… Taste is dominated by sticky & sweet malt syrup, caramel malts, bitter malts, syrupy malts lead into some floral notes, huge candy sugar, light white grapes, herbal bitter in the finish,… Sticky, slightly oily,… I originally thought that this was supposed to be an IIIPA - I was wrong because according to the brewer - triplipa is a cross between the styles and triple and ipa (not a 3 ipa) That the beer was still quite young. My bad - thx! for the info. These guys really seem to care about what they are doing. Cheers to them.
