Bottle at Hops, Crewe (but have drunk it before). Pours deep ruby with a minimal frothy off-white head. There’s biscuits, plums and raisins in the aroma, plus a hint of banana. In the mouth it is sweet and spicy with a yeasty texture. Plenty of flavour which emerges slowly, red fruits, caramel, herbs, pear drops, orange peel and cloves giving a satisfying fruity finish. This is excellent – wonderfully complex.

Dullish hazy, slightly fruity nose. Yeasty fruity palate, low bitterness. Sort of phenolic, not really hitting.

Nose is a gentle mixture of banana, honey, raisins and malt. The taste replicates the nose, but adds further complexity. Dark berries, brown sugar, tropical fruit and some soft spices are complimented by a very soft effervescence and appropriately rich body. As good as advertised (if you are not a hop head).

Bottle, 2025 vintage. Spicy Belgian yeast aroma with notes of caramel, toffee, dark fruit, Candi sugar, coriander, clove and earthy hops. Pours cloudy caramel colored with a large tan head that has good retention and decent lacing. Starts with caramel, toffee, coriander and earthy hop flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth though slightly bitter with spicy Belgian yeast, clove, dark fruit and Candi sugar flavors. Excellent Belgian.

A medium-deep golden with a firm white head. Candied fruits, muted citrus, Belgian yeast, sweet malt, a touch of spice. Full bodied. Finish has a light spice and sweet fruit profile. This one is a little more muted than I’d prefer but it’s a solid tripel.

Bought locally, best by September 13th 2025.
It pours a slightly hazy gold with a multiple finger head of foam, I see floaties, retention is great, as is the lacing.
The smell has coriander, yeast, fruity notes, some citrus, some bitterness.
The taste is yeasty, coriander, mild citrus hops, fruity, hint of candi sugar.
Medium bodied, plenty of carbonation, this is one that I only buy occasionally when I see it on the shelf.
