75 cl from Belgoklubben. Hazy yellow with a big white foam. Nose is citrus, orange, slight kiwi, white bread, alcohol. Taste is big bodied with citrus, sweetness, bread burning alcohol and bitterness towards the end. No fuzz, a solid tripel.

Bouteille ramenée d'un caviste belge et bue à la maison. Robe brun foncé et translucide avec une mousse cassé. La bouche est assez dense, intense, surtout que j'avais bu une bière très légère avant. Notes de réglisse, anisées, herbacées, une légère astringence. Carbonatation légèrement plus forte que la moyenne de ce type de bière, ce qui n'est pas pour me déplaire. Plutôt sympa!

Bottle from Systemboalget. I thought this was an absolute cracker. Lovely fresh saison with a satisfying Belgian ending. Makes me have nostalgia after the last month there. Love it.

Bit fluffy, lacey whitish head over clear copper-orange beer, big bubbled. Bit dusty hops & herbs, some diary, milk-y, grains. Faint hint of vinegar. Grainy and again diary, buttermilk (without being sour). Something mineral, almost fishy, DMS. Light to medium body, rather slick, good carbonation. I'd expected better from de Cazeau. Thanks to Stef!

Bottle from Cask Beer Oasis, Crewe – drunk at home. [ NB several years out of date, so review may be skewed ] Pours a cloudy orange-brown with fairly high carbonation. Initial foaming from the bottle, but otherwise very little head at all despite trying. What there is off-white. Aroma has malts, marmalade and grains plus hints of ripe cheese. Initially rather watery in the mouth, but then flavour floods in. Malts, yeast and oranges, plus coriander and hints of other spices. Quite nice but I probably need to rerate with a fresh bottle !

Golden, almost clear, full head initially with lasting laces. Yeasty and fruity aroma. Surprisingly dry taste, cereal and some fruit. Lingering bitterness.
