[30cl bottle] Looks actually like a Helles from Lowe Bavaria: clear, pale golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Slightly sweet and strong spicy aroma with notes of nutmeg. Light bitter flavour, medium body feel with a moderate carbonation. Soft malty, slightly perfumed taste with some zesty fruity notes. Almost a bit slim, faint fruity finish with an rather imbalanced spicy touch. Unsatisfying Kristall-Tripel [27.I.09].

A hazy golden ale with a thick off white head. Aroma is doughy and lightly spiced, with light maple notes. In mouth, a yeasty malt with gin alcohol, coriander, and rather dry. Medium bodied. Bought at Cracked Kettle, Nov. 2006, BB 22-12-2007, so 1 yr past prime.

Bottle, 9.8%. Hazy dark red brown colour. Big bubbly, frothy tan head. The flavour is quite malty, mostly malt syrupy. Rather sweet, even though the alcohol is also apparent. Very high carbonation. Tastes like a mediocre homebrew.
