Bottle @ home. Clear orange / golden color, small white head that diminishes almost instantly. Smell malts, sweetness, fruits. Taste is sweet for a tripel, with some fruity notes. A bit different from βstandardβ tripel imo. Soft yet lightly fizzy carbonation, medium body, though it doesnβt taste like a 9% ABV beer. Odd.

Bottle I found in a small beershop somewhere, shared with DutchDrebus. Nothing about this beer is very good, nothing is very bad either. I found it to be pretty boring. Taste, rate, forget.
