(Draught at Bier Circus, Brussels, 19 Oct 2022) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of apricots, bread, candy sugar and spicy hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with dried fruit, pineapple, apricots, citrus and a balanced resiny/spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced tripel. Quite nice.
