330ml bottle. Hazy, orange golden colour with small to average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Juicy, citrusy and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish, wheaty and pale malty background, notes of orange, lemon, mango, some peach, oaty overtones with a muesli touch. Taste is wheaty and oaty malty with a touch of raw grain as well, bitter and fruity hoppy, minimally diluted notes of mango, orange, lemon; mineral and slightly grainy finish. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Somehow raw, a bit disharmonious - meh!

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Kulenborgse Bierhandel. Dutch brewery #470.
Dark golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with orange and coriander. Sweet taste with a proper bitter finish. Nice hop forward tripel.

Er is heel veel aandacht aan de buitenkant besteed, maar het bier is maar een middle of the road saai blondje. Wat overigens prima is voor de Vijfheerenlanden. Want wat een boer niet kent, dat drinkt hij niet
