Pinkish golden color, cloudy. Soft mandarin aroma with a touch of yeast. Alcohol hidden somewhat by a fruity sweetness. Mandarin Napoleon liquor. Pleasant beer.

One of the original Alvinne beers, precursor to Morpheus Tripel, not sure if this original version is still made now. Tasted some years ago, this was a hazy peach blonde beer with creamy, off-white head and fruity and bready character with floral hops and some spiciness as well as a hint of ’jenever’ but not disturbingly so. This was a good tripel indeed, too bad I never got (or took) the chance to compare it side by side with the Morpheus version.

Backlog. Bottle, 8.7%. Gushing. Cloudy orange color. Big dense head. Aroma’s: hoppy, herbal, refreshing. Retronasal there’s candy sugar, light fruit, citrus, light herbs (vanilla?). Flavor is light sweet and light acidic (due to high CO2?). Medium bodied. Long finish, but hardly bitter. Interesting triple.

Bottle @ home. A bit hazy orange to amber color. Smell malts spices some sweetness and yeast. Taste malts spices yeast and some herbs. Not bad but certainly not good either. A bit weird. Medium carbonation, medium body.

330ml bottle, vintage 2007, 8.7% abv., bb. Nov. 2011 bought at The Bottle Shop in Brugge. Served comfortably chilled in a tulip glass at home. Big, airy white head, slowly dissipating. Cloudy, orange-grey body. Good lacing to the glassware. Sweet spiced orange fruits to the nose. Lemon and orange taste with underlying hints of spices. Half-dry, bittersweet ending. Foamy in the mouth. Mostly covered alcohol. Refreshing and pleasurable (Tromsø, 27.08.2011).

[330ml bottle from Beers of Europe at 8.7% ABV] My first beer from a "picobrewery", although given that it’s distributing to England it’s probably not as "pico" as it proclaims itself to be. Orangey-gold, slight white head, moderate fizz. Aroma of chardonnay and banana. Big hit of ginger on the first taste which fades to give… yep, more chardonnay. There’s some welcome bursts of juicy oranges, a slight dryness, some bread, and a slight but lasting mineral bitterness in the finish. Overwhelming impression is of a lightly hopped white wine! Disconcerting, and although it grew on me a little I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not. On balance, probably not.

Bottle from Bier Temple in Brussels. Pours orange gold with a foamy off-white head. Interesting aroma. Rather citrus, but something a bit solvent? Or citrus oil? Medium body with really foamy carbonation. Flavor is bready, citrusy, and flowery! It is bitter - as bitter in the finish as would be grapefruit threads. A strong flavored beer. A very different beer. Another surprising gem from Alvinne.

Bottle. It pours a diminishing off-white head over a hazy, orange-golden body. Slightly herbal on the nose, some citrus and sweetness, mostly fruityness. The flavor is pretty much the same, citrusy, fruity and with malty sweetness. Fine bitterness in the finish. Medium body. A good beer that doesn’t impress, but it’s easy to drink, too easy maybe considering the ABV. 090828
