Colour is yellow, very clear. Yellowish, thick head. Nose of a summer grainfield, a sweetness and a leafy note. hints of some ester, fruity. The taste is immediate sweet but then bitterness jumps up as a surprise, as the nose didn't warn at alll. It is not a pure hop-bitterness, more something vegetable. Candisugar, probably too. Alcohol is very prominent, sugar becomes a bit sticky. Bitterness keeps hanging around in the back of the mouth, but the yeast yields more hoppy tones, at last. It's all there, but unbalanced...

Dark amber; creamy generous head. Aroma of malt, cork, nuts. Sweet, but less than other Christmas beers, malty, caramel, light liquorice, a bit corky, well balanced, with a well bitter final (also the roasted malt contributes).

Bottled. Deep golden with creamy head. Spicy nose. Nicely malty and well balanced with concentrated, dry hoppy flavour. and a balanced sweet/bitter finish. Wow!

Odd light brown color. But with the spicy aroma and taste, it is a Duvel-look-a-like, though you wouldn't have guessed it when you look at the color. I really enjoy these types of beers.

Clear golden color, lasting head. Spicy aroma. Spicy hoppy taste, bit metallic and yeasty. Not as good for a blonde as the score would suggest.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Golden colour and clear, with little head. I get berries,spices and honey in the aroma. It has a funky, dryich and yeasty flavour and a quite bitter finish with some salt, obvious yeastyness and perhaps a hint of metal. Complex.

Weak tripel in my opinion. Bit sweet. Not much of an explicit or complex taste.

Blond colour. Light aroma, of malt and spices. Good body, dry malt, coriander; robust bitterness. Good and pretty long palate.
