(bottle, 33cl, gushing!) Hazy, golden coloured and effervescent hue with a blond and tall foamy head. Yeasty, fruit-accented taste with notes of apricots, lemon, as well as (phenolic) spices. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonation. Lemon-fruity and wheaty taste with curacao and mildly herbal spicy notes; sweet-bitter mildly malty and spicy finish with a tinge of alcohol. Balanced and not too spicy. 10.I.11

Cloudy brown beer. Soft frothy creamy malt. A subtle vein of marmite provides some colour. Semi dry frothy finish.

A 2005 bottle. Brown cloudy beer. Aged malt chocolatey caramel. Reasonable carbonation. Underlying minerals. Okay - probably past it’s best!

Draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear red color with a medium sized frothy offwhite head. Decent head retention and lacing. A tart and tannic aroma with some citrus notes. The taste is tart berries, cranberries, cherries and some leafy notes. Medium bodied. Strongly carbonated. Good beer.

Bottle. Inviting aroma of clean pilsner malts, honey, lots of grassy hops, and some farmyard hay. Light yeastiness, light spice character without added spices. Clear gold witha tall, fine head. Fruity, hoppy, slightly alcoholic flavor. Nice citrus hop flavors, fruity but not very sweet; very dry, actually, with a well bitter finish and lingering long. Wow! a pleasant surprise. like a very well-hopped tripel with a farmhouse touch. Nice honey flavor as well, without the sweetness. rich, full body. Great.

330 ml bottle. Aroma of honey, dust, grass. Dusty flavor of caramel, raisins, honey. Very dry finish. Actually very dry from start to finish, with alcohol well hidden. Expected it to be sweet, but it was very nice and clean.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, as Santa-Bee at Oud Arsenaal) The beer poured dark brown and almost clear. Its head was medium sized, long lasting and lightly brown shaded white. Aroma had cloves, malts and yeast. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were clove, spices, hops, malts, yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste was dry and malty. Ok beer but bit too spicy and also boring.

Nice fruity aroma of apples, lemon, honey, bready, biscuity malts, also coriander, orangel deep golden yellow, heading towards copper, with a tall, fluffy head. Malty flavor, fruity, with apples and abit of orange, lots of bread, some honey. Dry, slightly bitter finish works well, and the bitterness lasts a while, as does a cracker-like malt, with some minerals. Decent, balanced tripel, though there is something minerally i there i cannot name that is interesting and weird.
