On keg at Holyrood 9A. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Nose - a bit savoury, quit cheesey in fact, Must be hop resin notes and there’s a whiff of lime and green stalky vegetables in there too. Taste - much the same but lime dominates green vegetables. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry finish, Overall - a decent example though the nose was not the high point.

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Appearance - amber with a head that disappears seconds after pouring. Indication that it’s not bottle conditioned which I’d have expected for style. Nose - oranges, a hint of coriander. It’s going down the Karmeliet line here. Taste - yeah nice oranges and gentle spice again. Green herb note too. Pickled lime finish. Palate - medium to full bodied with a big tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Great palate. Overall - three quarters of the way there to being a very good Belgian Tripel. The lack of bottle conditioning means it lacks the zing and creaminess that the style should have.

Tap. Sheffield Tap. Hazy, straw colour. Thin, white head. Bready, and yeasty. Lemon notes. A bit grassy. Grainy malts. Taste is light, grainy sweet. A little dryness. Crisp, and zesty palate. Feels a little thin, though. Short, dry close. Decent. Refreshing.

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle! Frisch hopfenblumiger Antrunk, mild-weich, toll vollmundig. Malzig-mild, funky-spritzig. Leicht säuerlich. Voll im Nachgeschmack, mild weiche Hefe. Intensiv herb-floraler Nachgeschmack. Sehr spannend!

Keg @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. An unclear dark brown in colour with the same coloured but very thin head. It has a mild but noticeable sourness in its nose with a hint of roasted malt there too. It has a small activeness in the palate and there’s not a lot of flavours for the tongue either with a very light roasted malt here too.

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon and pineapple sorbet plus white pepper. Floral background. Taste - white pepper up front. Lemon sorbet and very pithy. Palate - light bodied with a persistent long lean middle section and finish. Overall - drinks easily for the ABV.

Bottle from Cork and Cask. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - not great, soggy bran flakes some metallic element too. No chocolate or roast. Taste - burnt toast and a sour thing. More burnt malt, still looking for the chocolate and any depth of flavour. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy but dank texture in the middlesection and a dry burnt section. Overall - is this as the brewer intended?

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Appearance - cloudy golden orange with a nice continental head. Nose - apricots and creamy, like apricot yoghurt or peach melba. Taste - zingy lemon and orange, still some apricot, then some gentle sweet spices, maybe delicate clove. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a dry yeasty finish. Overall - interesting ale and plenty of punch for an unusually low Belgian style alcohol level.

Many thanks to Sean for this bottle. Best before November 2015. The beer starts smooth and malty-chocolate-like. Quite sourish-fresh and funky for a stout. And easy to drink for the 7%. Smooth and fruity-deep. Wild berries, fruity sourish hints, chocolate and toffee in the background. Nice fresh and easy to drink fruity aftertaste. Nearly no bitterness there, roasted malt, smooth, warming, great!
