Hellmalziger Antrunk, in dem ein einzelnes Kräuteraroma den Takt angibt. Leicht wird es schnell milder und hinterlässt eine trockene aber solide Herbe, die das Bier mit wenig süßer Unterstützung weiterführt. Mild, fast unauffällig ist das Bier nun, nur eine leichte Untergrundwürze verhindert das komplette Abdriften ins Wässrige. An diesem milden Punkt angekommen erholt sich das Bier kaum und bleibt mild. Etwas entäuschend ist daher der nichtssagende Abgang. 11/8/7/5/8/8

Starker Kräuterantrunk mit deutlichen Hefeakzenten. Sehr blumig hopfig, verdrängt durch die zu starke Karbonisierung. Trotzdem sind die Aromen deutlich erkennbar, zum Ende verschmelzen sie zu einem weichen Gesamtaroma, eine minimale Säuerlichkeit passt. Bald werden die Kräuter milder, auch lohnt nun nicht mehr die Unterscheidung der verschiedenen Arten. Erfrischendes Wit! 8/8/10/10/10/9

Herb-hefiger, leicht trockener Antrunk. Süßlich, hellmalzig, etwas alkoholisch. Monoton, schnell wird das Bier wässrig und langweilig, wenig attraktiv, trocken-herb zum Ende. Wenig zitrus-bitter. 8/6/6/5/8/5

03/10/2010 - 75cl @ home Thanks to Anniek for the bottle!

Drank 2 months before expiration date

Pours a very murky yellow to orange beer with little flakes floating around in it. A fine laced white head, reduces quickly. Aroma has some banana, dead yeast, a little malt and caramel. MF is ok, medium body. Sweet start, both malt and sugar. Then hoppy and fruity continuation. Aftertaste is hoppy with some sweet and citrus. A very good tripel, but probably mostly due to it's age and the combination with refermentation in the bottle.
