Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sweetish malt, yeast, sweet ripe fruits, mild citrus, spicy notes with coriander, sugary, bit boozy, touch of marzipan. Flavour is sugary sweet and light bitter with a little alcohol. Body is medium. A bit too boozy and sweet to be a good Tripel in my book.

Bottle from a local department store. Aroma is lots of sweet ripe fruits, malt, sweet stone fruits such as peach and apricot, some spicy yeasty and floral notes, candied fruits. Flavour is fairly sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Better than I expected from looking at that label art, which is pure pain. Bit heavy on the sweetness for my taste, but not bad.

Aroma of malts, yeast, fruits, some spices. Flavour is very yeasty, some fruity sweetness. Lively carbonation. Very nice and drinkable Blonde.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Aroma is grainy malt, wet cardboard, dusty with buttery notes. Flavour is sweetish with a light bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Not a nice Pilsener with its dusty buttery aroma.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Aroma is wheaty with sugary notes, yeast, spices, sweetish malt, bready notes, citrus. Flavour is above medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. A clumsy sweetish Wit that lacks the refreshing character of the style.

From tap at Speciaalbier Café De Markies, Leeuwarden. Sweet with an aroma of subtle oak, sweet caramel malt, toffee, likeur, alcohol, pear and overripe apple. Sweet flavour with a sticky mouthfeel. Body is medium to full. Okay-ish, expected more, way too sticky and heavy on the caramel toffee with the kind of ripe fruits I don't particularly care for. Barrel is too subtle.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is floral and a bit grassy with a soapy element, spicy yeast, grainy malt, bit chemical. Flavour is medium sweet with an above moderate bitterness. Body is medium but falls a bit short. Which pretty much sums up this below average Belgian Blond.

From bottle at Bier XXL, Steenwijk. Like a Quadruple with more roast, chocolate, yeast, caramel, picking up spicy notes. Sweet flavour with some roasty bitterness, toffee, very Belgian 'Stout', in between Quadruple and Stout, above medium body. Nice.

Аромат весьма просто если честно, немного карамельного солода, есть намек на темные фрукты и изюм. легкая сладость. Цвет слегка карамельный, пена средняя. Вкус для 7 градусов слишком водянистый наверно. Снова карамель с намеком на мед, почти ничего более. Послевкусие как будто с пшеницей, много солода. В целом дюбель в стиль, но слишком просто.
