High carbonation. Smells weirdly vinous and yogurty. Taste is pretty weird too, something caramelly and something lightly acidic. Licorice, dusty, bit of roast, still something yoghurty. Not what I was expecting, but not very unpleasant. Doesn't linger.

Bottle, 0.33l. Murky brown/black pour, two finger creamy beige head. Long lasting, very good retention. Thick lacing on the glass as it goes down. Lots of cocoa and chocolate on the nose, fruity background. Thin to medium body, surprisingly. Kinda hoped for it to be a bit fuller. Medium to high carbonation. Light texture, easily drinkable. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. Roasty bittersweet taste. Aroma is fine. Watered down, yes, but fine nonetheless. Strongly on the malt side as expected. Caramel, roasted, cocoa. Toffee, dark fruits, mild sour notes. Notable bitterness throughout the aftertaste at the bottom of the tongue, mild metal presence. Slight stickiness, a bit dry. Medium lasting finish. Overall, it's fine but unremarkable. A bit too light and watery for the style.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy red/pink pour, half finger soapy white head, short lasting. Not so fruity on the nose actually, there is some faint raspberry presence in the background but the main stage is taken by yeasts and grass. Thin body, medium carbonation. Soft texture, mild fizzy. Quite light and watery mouthfeel. Taste is balanced between sweet and sour with some very faint bitter notes thrown in the mix. Watered down aroma, similar to nose. Malt, yeasts, grass and artificial raspberry juice. Slight metal in the aftertaste. Dry. Sticky. Short finish, mild fruit tart. Well, that was unimpressive. Weak and watery, definitely not something I'd reach out for again. The meh is strong in this one.

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy orange pour, two finger creamy white head. Long lasting, very good retention, lots of thick lacing on the glass. Pleasant nose, fresh and crispy, citrus fruits, grassy hops. A bit perfumy. Thin body, medium to high carbonation, quite fizzy and prickly on the tongue. Bitter taste with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of yeast and grains, wheat, grassy hops. Fruity notes, mild tropical. Herbal spiciness. A bit boozy for the relatively low ABV. Could use a bit more balance. Medium lasting finish, very dry. Lingering mild alcohol burn. Ok.

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy orange/copper pour, huge creamy white head. Long lasting, thick lacing on the glass. Yeasty nose, flowery and fruity notes, grainy background. Medium body, soft to medium carbonation, pleasantly fizzy mouthfeel. Balanced bittersweet taste with very subtle fruity sour notes. Strong yeasty notes in aroma, malts, wheat and grains. Pronounced herbal spiciness, bitter liquory aftertaste. Drying, lasting bitterness throughout the finish. Pretty good tripel. Flavorful and nicely balanced.
