Pours deep gold into a tulip. Off-white micro head with excellent retention leaves no lacing. Candi and coriander aromas. Harsh upfront pepper turns to sweet/sour lemon and summer fruits before a lasting alcohol burn.

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Clear gold, thin ivory head. Sticky sweet tripel/eurotpean strong lager, with a Belgian yeast giving it some subtle esters. Bit of heat and white pepper on finish. Bit hot on the alcohol.

Consumed at Zythos, St Niklaas, Belgium, 08-03-09 Pours clear golden with a white head. Some bitter hops ’lager style’ maybe? Taste is bitter but the sweetness comes through. I definately keep getting hints of a pilsnerness about this (maybe its just me) Its refreshing and tasty, there is plenty of maltiness, its quite clean but the strength is really showing now.

Draught Good yellowish head, with textbook lace, over metallic-golden beer with a slight verdigris shine. Hyper-typical V.S. nose with white candi sugar, esters, and some alcohol, V.S. thumbprint more clear than anything. Sweet start with drier following, fruity-estery. Well bodied and very slick, quite carbonated. It supposed to be new. As Pierlala, Meerendree,... Mind you, it’s NOT bad.

Bottle from Mar. Guess I had to come to Texas to get this (available at home). Pours with a white head that fades over a clear golden colored body. Okay lacing. Banana esters and peanuts on the nosee. Taste is peanut shells, spices, and honey. A bit fizzy.

Bottle corked & caged from Natomas BevMo. Orange tinged golden color with a two finger white head. Aromas of pale malt, citrus, light stone fruits, and mild yeast. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is sweet malt, light fruit, mild spicey hop - grassy? Each mouthful starts a bit sweet, but it reduces towards moderate astringency or bitter. Perhaps tilted a bit towards a tripel. The alcohol is not noticeable, except in my brain. Not a waste of money - it’s a pretty good ale.
