23 June 2025. At Pakhuis, Ghent. Cheers to the Teamleader crew!
A: clear golden, small, off-white head.
A: lots of yeast, ripe apple, banana, cake, marmalade.
T: sweet banana, pear, honey, white sugar; spicy phenols.
F: floral hops, yeast, ripe yellow fruits, boozy vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Drinkable but lacks balance.

clear orange to amber colour, large, dense and long lasting ecru head; aroma of fruity (peachy, apricot jam and maybe apple peel, as well), grainy, floral and some grape-raisins notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with some coriander and slight citric notes; really good one
gave a cheers!

Bottle at home from a Lidl bumper bundle. Lively pour and I ended up with crud in the glass. Very annoying. Anyway, too sweet for me. No bite. Not great.

Donker goudgeel bier met schuim. Smaak is warm krachtig, bitterzoet en fruitig met iets van abrikoos, banaan en wat sinaasappel. Voor mij een heel goede tripel die iets te hoog in alcohol is.

On draught at De Garre Brugge. Hazy gold colour. Lasting white head. Orange spice aroma. Its really quote orange led for a wit. Light spice. Light coriander. No soap. Really quite refreshing. Light. Good orange and tangerine flavours. Its rather lovely. Good lacing.
Oranges light ok but very light.

Bottle at home from a Lidl bumper fun bundle. Opened on a Saturday night having dropped middle child to a house party and all my driving was finished. Luckily the oldest agreed to pick her up. Anyway, great pour and aroma and taste and mouthfeel. This is just really good and the extreme alcohol was very well hidden.
