Bottled, from Systembolaget. Hazy pale amber, rich head. Perfumy marmelade, cinnamon and pine needles. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Tangerine and pine. Resiny finish with some alcohol. American style sweet tripel with heavy hop bitterness. Strange spices, lack of balance. Quite rough.

Bottle from Beer Hawk. A hazy golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Yeasty, lemon, spice aroma. Tastes similar, yeasty, lemon, spice, marmalade. A really drinkable, bitter/sweet tripel. Quite tasty.

Bottle at Prince of Wales, Cardiff. Amber/copper with a massive white head. Aroma of coriander, citrus and ginger nuts. Sour/bitter with a lingering astringent aftertaste: not all that great. The carbonation backs up a slightly thin body. Ok but far from exceptional. I expected more.

Bottle received as extra in trade. Thank you Theydon_Bois! Pours tiny hazy golden with a rather small frothy white head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is fruity, slightly yeasty, slightly estery and phenolic with white bread, candi sugar, overripe tropical fruits, grapefruit juice, pears, apples, glue, hay, dry soil, pepper corns and orange zest. Taste is tiny sweet, bitter, fruity and phenolic with white bread, plums, mango, orange zest, lemon zest, sheet metal, pear skins, apple skins, grapes, pepper corns and hay. Mouthfeel is slightly dry, slightly astringent, round and medium bodied. Finish is fruity and phenolic with white bread, pears, apples, hay, pepper corns and unripe tropical fruits. Decent untraditional tripel.

I hate the blurb on these bottles with a fiery passion. "Seasonal calendar of tree magic" my arse. That said, this is a lovely tripel . Hazy yellow pour, big frothy white head. Cinnamon and yeast esters on the nose, light wheat. Taste is the right side of sweet. Nice spice linger. Good. Apart from the druidic shite.
