A hazy orange beer with a collapsing though lazing white head. The aroma is sweet spicy - with coriander standing out - but also yeasty. The flavor is sweet fruity with oranges being most dominant, but there’s also notes of yeast and alcohol, leading to a dry end.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy orangey golden with a decent, white head. Very yeasty nose, some sweetish malt with a very pronounced alcohol. Not bad but far from being a top-Tripel. 241097

Hazy golden color, white head. Yeasty, malty and fruity nose. Medium-bodied. Yeasty, acidy, alcoholic but same time soft palate. Grassy and leafy notes. (7/3/6/3/12 3.1)
Re-rated, bottle (BB 09/2008)
Orange, slightly hazy color, small white head, lace. Cardboard, wild yeast, fruits and alcohol in the nose. It is almost a bit lambic-like with cellary tones - maybe it is because of wheat malts used here. Palate is suprisingly watery and 8 % is not noticed here. But it means also that this is quite bland. Weak fruityness with apple and mango flavors. (7/3/5/2/10 2.7)

Hazy orange color, small white head. Dry hoppy, horse blanket aroma, underlying some sweetness. Not very strong but some "Orval-character". Light-bodied, grassy and citrusy, but quite watery - weak malt profile. Bitterish aftertaste.

Bottled. A bit hazy golden/orange colour with enormous longlasting white bubbly/foamy head, lacing. Bitter fruitish aroma with spicy and caramelly hints. Also a sting of alcohol. Flavour is sweet caramel with hints of vanilla. It gets a bit bitter and alcoholic in finish, but aftertaste is sweet candy. Hides alcohol pretty well.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, huge longlasting beigishorange creamy head, lacing. Aroma consists of sugar, rye and stinging alcohol. Mouthfeel is soft, due to very low carbonation. Very hoppy and sour flavour. Hayish and harsh alcoholic finish. Sticky palate. Not that interesting beer...

Probably a 2004 bottle at Julio’s Spring Beer Fest, 4/02/05. Had this immediately following the gold. Lightly spicy, a bit dusty, dry nose with a bit of toast, dry fruits, appleskins and a touch of caramel sugar. Flavor is sweeter than the gold, not surprisingly, with a good deal more candi sugar apparency and some yeast dryness on the end. Orange peel, a touch of orange creme and light caramel and nuttiness. Medium body, though not anything strikingly fuller than the gold, maybe a bit more sugar to create a bigger effect. Orange body, with some faint auburn tints and an off-white head, very ligth haziness.

Undated bottle, probably 2004, at Julio’s Spring Beer Fest, 4/02/05. Pour is a light orange-rust-yellow, very light haze with a small, but lasting white head. Moderate lacing. Aroma of honey, clove, caramel, sugar, slight dirty earthiness/yeastiness. Not overly complex, yet not bad either, rather average Duvel style nose. Flavor is dry to start, but gains some candi sugar and light caramel sweetness. A hint of vanilla and light, dusty, hay-like hops bitterness, with some muddled yeastiness and a dirty, overly dry finish. Medium body, heavily carbonated, but not overdone on alcohol apparency.

Hazy dark amber, no head - looks like sahti. Aroma has brown sugar, rye, hops, spices, a bit odd and chemical. Mouthfeel is flat - low carbonation. Hoppied, sour. Harsh in the finish, English bitter-like flavor. Dry malt character. Unbalanced and not very delicious.
