THT online/At Maakun’s. Hazy golden with white head. Dry, wheaty, grainy, vintage leather barstool, yeasty. Light sweet, quite bitter. Firm pucker. Decent body, unfiltered look&feel, tasty.

Bottle shared at THT online thanks to sjogro. Bit hazy golden with big white head. Sweet malts, flowery, light yeasty, flowery, marzipan, light grassy hops, green melon. Solid sweet with nice balancing bitterness. Over medium bodied with quite some carbonation. Nice tripel but not as nice as their dark beers.

0,33 bottle. Beautiful opaque amber color, dense white foam that remains in a small dense layer. Delicious, cognac, sweet, fruity round and intense aroma. Slightly carbonated, moderately full-bodied among the Belgians. Feel a little alcohol too. As it warms up, it becomes more and more dried-fruit. The candy flavor is a bit dominant, so "cellar in nature" but in a good way. Matured old, serious "musty", sweet old wine effect. Classic. Somehow it turned out that I tasted 8 and 10 earlier. They may have been better, but it’s also a very fine strong ale. As it warmed up, it became more and more delicious. Interestingly, there was a lot of yeast and sediment at the bottom, I would improve it to be fuller than the average Belgian :) It is also a respectable beer.
***
Gyönyörű opálos borostyán szín, sűrű fehér hab, ami egy kis sűrű rétegben megmarad. Finom, konyakos, édeskés, gyümölcsös kerek és intenzív illat. Kissé szénsavas, közepesen testes a belgák közt. Picit az alkoholt is érezni. Ahogy melegszik, egyre jobban aszalt-gyümölcsösség uralkodik. Kicsit uralkodó a kandiscukros íz, olyan "pince jellegű", de jó értelemben. Érlelt régi, komoly "dohos" , édes óboros hatás. Klasszikus. Valahogy úgy alakult, hogy a 8-ast és a 10-est hamarabb kóstoltam. Azok talán jobbak voltak, de ez is egy nagyon finom erős ale. Ahogy melegedett, egyre finomabb lett. Érdekességként : rendkívül sok élesztő és üledék volt az alján, azt javítanám, hogy a közepes belgánál testesebb :) Tekintélyes sör ez is.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierloods22', bottled in September 2022. Hazy, golden with a large, foamy, stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, fairly grassy-spicy, slightly fruity-floral and a little yeasty-spicy aroma of lemon balm, fresh grass, white pepper, light apricot and a touch of Belgian yeast. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, very grassy-spicy, almost herbal, a bit fruity-floral taste of lemon balm, fresh grass, white pepper, some apricot and a touch of honey, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, very grassy-spicy, slightly herbal, just minimally yeasty-spicy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Unusually hoppy, extremely grassy-spicy Tripel, the aroma resembles a fresh Franconian Lager. A brilliant beer, haven't had a Tripel like this before. Very good!
