330ml bottle kindly shared by Finn. Bubbly white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass, cloudy golden body. Moderate saison fruity aromas, hints of spices. Traces of yeasty fruitiness and spices to the taste character. Mid-dry ending with saison fruity moments, slightly bitter component to it. Satisfying. (Tromsø, 18.12.2024).

Head gone in an eyeblink to almost still metallic golden beer. Sweet, maltsyrup, almonds, cardboard. Almonds, sugarwater, liqueur-ish. Concentrated & filtered pineapplejuice. Warming up, more and more raw booze. Alcohol is (at least initially) unbelievably hidden. Feels a lot better carbonated than it looks. Alcoholthinning candisugar fermenting helping. Don't know how they hid the alcohol. Any character is equally non-existant, but that, I guess, is just a fact. Txs to Stef!

50cl can: BB 7th May 2025, drank at home on 15th November 2024. Tramp juice at it's finest, this is a real brown paper bag beer to be drank on a park bench, shared with people down on their luck.

330ml bottle from Carrefour, Hazebrouck. Pours hazed gold, good white head. Possesses a strong spiced sweetness with woody herbal notes from the sage, galangal and laurel. Not your average Tripel. Hints of victorian cough medicine and grandmas Christmas liqueur alongside a tripel yeast. Becomes quite palatable by the last few sips.
