Pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of sour fruit, vinegar, some funky elements. Reminds me of dry white wine.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a big frothy white head. Aroma of citrus, sweet malts, yeast. A simple but pleasant aroma. Also, pretty easily drinkable for a Tripel.

Aroma of sweet cherry, oak, sugar, tart fruit. Flavour is quite sweet and only light sour. It’s a shame that the sweetness is so dominant. Not for me.

Aroma of sweet malt, more sweet malt, some more sweet malt. Flavour is sweet with a light bitter finish. Nasty stuff, a bit like a cheap supermarket 10% Pilsner.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso fruttato e ciliegia. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e ricca e il modo in cui permane è considerevole. Il manto birroso superiore color rosato chiaro è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage, con carbonazione allegra e vivace. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio e l'amaro è medio: non si surclassano. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di zucchero caramellato, miele, crosta di pane, vaniglia, agrumi, lampone e ciliegia.
