0.33 l can from 'Hoptimaal', best before November 2024. Hazy, golden amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, quite yeasty-spicy, gently fruity-grassy aroma of banana, clove, honey, vanilla and some citrus. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity-grassy taste of banana, clove, honey, vanilla, orange peel, light pear and maybe a touch of thyme, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, grassy finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nicely hoppy Tripel, still very true to the style.

330ml can. Cloudy, orange, dark golden colour with small to average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy-bready, wheaty malty, minimally yeasty fruity and slightly grassy, hoppy aroma, hints of crisp bread, a touch of spelt, some apricot. Taste is initially sweet-ish, wheaty malty and fruity hoppy, almost a bit Hopfenweisse-like, later additionally yeasty fruity and slightly peppery, yeasty spicy, hoppy notes of mandarine and orange, yeasty fruity notes of apricot, some peach and mirabelle, mild bitterness; minimally warming, alcoholic finish. Dissloved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly dry palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Well balanced, fairly hopped, nice and relatively clean fruitiness - pleasant.
