Slightly opalescent darker golden colour, large, dense, though not too stable ecru-ish off-white head; aroma of intensive artificial-like jaffa orange, tropical fruits and candy sugar; taste is basically the same with some hoppy bitterness and even more artificial fruity-syrupy sweetness than expected based on the aroma; it's just horrible! Definitely the biggest mistake of the brewery! Shockingly bad experience

Opalescent to hazy orange colour, half inch of dense ecru-ish head; aroma of tangerine, marmalade, candied orange peel and maybe some earthy notes; taste is the same with some hoppy bitterness and grape-like notes; not bad

Rose-wine-like appearance with minimal off-white head; aroma of raspberry, citric and acetic acidy, as well as earthy notes; taste of lemony sourness, unripe raspberry, some earthy and yeasty notes; good one, though it is for sure not a tripel

From Beer Drop, best by May 5th 2026.

Pours a mostly clear gold with over 2 fingers of foam. Retention and lacing are excellent.

Smell is sour raspberry, other berries, slight hint of funk, lemon, much tartness going on.

Taste is tart raspberries, some ascetic acid, lemon, other fruity berries, very tart overall, not much sign of the ample alcohol.

Medium bodied, I would drink this again.

Old rating from 12-01-15 - 355ml bottle brought back by my wife from the States. Poured at home in Jersey. It's light red in colour with a foamy white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, vanilla, strawberry, honey, orange peel, pine, toffee & malt. Medium body. Medium fruity bitter finish. Outstanding old school IPA
