(bottle, 33cl, gushing!) Hazy, golden coloured and effervescent hue with a blond and tall foamy head. Yeasty, fruit-accented taste with notes of apricots, lemon, as well as (phenolic) spices. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonation. Lemon-fruity and wheaty taste with curacao and mildly herbal spicy notes; sweet-bitter mildly malty and spicy finish with a tinge of alcohol. Balanced and not too spicy. 10.I.11

750 ml bottle at Zythos Beer Festival 2010. Clear yellow color, fluffy white head, good lacing. Aroma of orange peel, ginger. Heavily spiced taste, lots of malt, white pepper. Interesting.

Very good, fine-yellow head over hazy orange-yellow beer. Very pungent citruspeel, toiletsoap-like aroma, like dishwash liquid with lemon - OK, but a lot nicer than that sounds. Taste is even more spicy, less lemony. Coriander? Almost certainly ginger. Citruspeel? Spicy palte, medium bodied, big spicy aftertaste, even more warming up. Interesting variation on tripel indeed, but not my idea, unfortunately. The nose is intriguing.
