330ml Bottle - Amber body with a very frothy head that laces the drink. Aroma is fresh, crisp citrus, caramel and a bit of yeast. Taste is dominated by caramel with a touch of malt and a clove nip á la Leffe. A little citrus in the finish with a boozy warmth throughout.

Penderels Oak, Holborn 1 Nov 12. JDW Festivaløl. Mørkebrun. Lavt, litt farget skum som varer litt. Lite aroma. Myk munnfølelse. Tynn på smak & innhold. Et sjeldent eksempel på at flaskeutgaven var signifikant bedre.

Dark blond colour, white head. Aroma of banana, quite sweet, yeast, malts and sugar. Sweet malty flavour. Finish banana.
Quite a generic tripel. Not bad, just not great either.

750 ml bottle into chalice, best before 4/1/2014. Pours fairly crystal clear golden amber color with a nice 1-2 finger fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass, with a nice amount of streaming carbonation; this is a great looking tripel. Aromas of big apple, pear, grape, honey, apricot, clove, light pepper, herbal, floral, candi sugar, bread, and light yeast spiciness. Damn nice aromas with good complexity and balance. Taste of apple, pear, apricot, grape, clove, light pepper, grass, floral, earth, honey, bread, candi sugar, and yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of light fruits, clove, pepper, honey, bread, herbal, floral, earth, honey, candi sugar, and yeast spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice flavor complexity; with a great malt and spicy yeast ester balance; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly slick and foamy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice Tripel! Great flavor balance and complexity; very smooth and easy to sip on. A very enjoyable offering; and very much in line to what I like to see in the style.
