Dit bier wordt tijdens de lange lagering dry-hopped. Er is een zeer sterke CO2 pareling met een overvloedige witte schuimkraag tot gevolg. De neus wordt beheerst door hop, gevolgd door een kruidigheid (onder andere lichte munttoetsen), eveneens te wijten aan de gebruikte hopsoorten. De alcohol zit goed verborgen en valt nauwelijks op, hopbitter en mouttoetsen zijn mooi in evenwicht.

75 cL bottle, huge thanks to Bierkönig. 2004 bottle, BBD: 12/2007, tasted 01/2008. Pours hazy orange with a diminishing white head. Light honey, yeasty spiced and mild caramel malty aroma. Mellow yeasty, smooth caramel and light fruity flavour. Strong blond, almost triple like (no wonder it is added on RB as a Tripel...despite the name). Slight oxidation.

Bottled, thanks BierKönig! Hazy golden. Fruity tangerine aroma. Lovely dense, soft malt character. Orangey hops and almondy yeast character adds to the pleasure. Salty finish. Wonderfully complex.

Hazy golden color. Peculiar aroma: malt, brown sugar, yeast fruitness... Good Belgian beer (not a Triple), fruity malts, good bitterness (medium old hops), but probably tasted too warm. Thanks Jeppe for sharing this rare bottle.
