Bottle. Simple paper label. Honey color, little chunks of yeast. Yeast and vinegar in the smelly aroma. Initial flavor has pineapple and honey, but is overpowered by yeast flavors. Sorry, not good enough.

Tasted as an old beer under its former name Baudeloo Clooster Tripel, for a convent in the village of Klein-Sinaai in northeastern Flanders. Yellowish white, irregular foam, at first quickly building but then dropping down equally fast only to disappear entirely in the end. Colour a yellowish peach blonde, cloudy. Very yeasty aroma, peach, apple, lots of fresh orange, old bread, rhum, honey, vinegar, floral hops, also quite phenolic (nail polish remover). Taste begins fruity sweet with lots of orange, honeyish malt base, smooth and light, becoming lemony sourish (probably a mild infection), finishing in a relatively long hop bitterness, though the fruity sweetness from the onset also sticks.

Bottle, courtesy of tderoeck (thanks a lot, Tim), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, sweet apple juice, and some notes of oxidation. Flavour reveals notes of lightly sweet apples, Belgian yeast, and light notes of cardboard oxidation. This has aged well, though there are definite signs of age. Decent beer, but shows more and more signs of oxidation with each additional sip.
