Had vorig jaar 2 flessen meegenomen uit Groningen vanwege het Wintervelvaart feest, de eerste fles meegegeven aan Joes tijdens het winterbier festival te Gouda, vandaar de eerdere ratings. Was hem eigenlijk al vergeten stond wat achterin de kast. Tijdens schenken zag ik al dat het een helder gouden bier was met schuimige witte kraag. De aroma kwam floraal, citrus, sinaasappel, koriander, gist, mout en licht zuur binnen. Al proevende kwam gelijk al een zuurtje naar boven, maar vond het eerlijk gezegd wel lekker, niet zo complex als een Belgische red/brown, en of het er eerlijk gezegd in hoorde weet ik niet, maar hé ben niet ziek geworden ;)... matig/redelijk zoet, licht bitter, redelijk zuurtje (azijn/druif), matig qua sterkte, redelijk fruitig oa de citrus weer. zwak gemout, redelijk kruidig van koriander en iets van curaçao. echter wel een te hoog co2. zwakke body en wat dun/waterig. niet echt een typisch winterbier edoch redelijk...

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a dark mahogany with a frothy white head. The aroma is dry yeast acid apple sour. The flavour is moderate sour with a watery sour apple infected medicinal palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Took a few sips and poured the rest away. Absolutely awful. This really should not be sold commercially. The bottle was fresh too. I only bought it a week before. The THT date was May 2015. I will be avoiding anything from this brewery in future.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, acid, apple. The flavour is light sour with a light acidic sour palate. Not much to say about this. If this was the way it was meant to be i’d be surprised. Pretty awful. I drank a third of the bottle and drain poured the rest. Waste of money.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear golden color, medium sized quickly diminishing off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly sweetish, lightly fruity and maybe a slight hint of herbs or spices. More fruity than I had expected which imo is a good thing. Decent body, a bit firm carbonation.

Golden. Persistent white head and lacing. Moderate tripel aroma. Standard tripel taste. Fine, but not especially exciting or complex.
