Draft at Beervana. Hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma of mild citrus that was a bit overwhelmed by the barbecuing meat at the stall next door. Taste is sweet and sticky orange.

On tap at Murray’s in Manly, April 2013. Hazy gold with a slight white head. Light coriander notes, some spice, citrus fruits, grainy malts and a hint of bubble gum, before a gentle finish. Good.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin golden head. The aroma has notes of oxidation, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, metal from the alcohol, and oxidation.

Pours pale amber with a lasting white head.Nose shows doughy yeast, light spicy phenols, orange peel, passion fruit, white wine and wheat. Very expressive, seems to be a mix of a triple, a witbier and a new world pale ale.Very similar flavours but the alcohol is a little rough and overbearing. Quite sweet as well.The carbonation could be a fair bit higher to cut out the sweetness for a drier finish.Very interesting beer, very light and summer, although the alcohol needs to be curbed.

330ml bottle. Almost clear gold with a modest white head. Light caramel, nectarine, soap and spice aroma. Mellow fruity taste with peaches and pears as well as quite a bit of caramel. There’s a little bitterness in the pepper and clove finish. Interesting mouthfeel - it’s a little undercarbonated for a Tripel and it’s not very yeasty, but there’s enough there to make it full without being all that heavy.

Bottle. Hazy golden with very little head. Complex, but not very intense aroma, with spice, hops and orange. Medium body, medium carbonation, with a creamy texture. The flavour is complex and evolves as the beer warrms. There are sweet malts, orange, some spice (coriander, maybe clove) and enjoyable bitterness throughut the taste, starting spicey peppery and ending with dark chocolate notes on what is clearly hops. A rich, interesting, complex beer.

Looks and initally smells like brandy. No head and a much paler color than I used to for a Grand Cru. Nevertheless, caramel and oranges add to the aromatic excitment. Rich, tangy mouth that continues the brandy theme and is quit warming. Well balanced. Syrupy without being cloying. Very enjoyable though fairly straight forward.
