Very huge, off-white head over clear golden beer, not very carbonated but leaving lace. Dry, spicy malts, garden herbs & weeds, dried continental hops, whiff of vanilla. Dry, tripel-like, malty in a just lightly-toasted way. A bit metallic/galvanic. Ultra-dry finish with a mere hint of alcohol sweetness. Very high attenuation, almost Duvel-like giving a dry, alcohol-hidden force and drinkability. Remarkable beer. Utterly strong blonde Belgian somewhere half-way Westmalle tripel and Duvel.

Really clear, finely carbonated red-copper beer under a good off-white head. Very toasted nose, toasted caramel, caramel malt, maybe some Vienna. Parsley, heated garden herbs. Caramel in the taste, if in a dry way, herbal malts. Still toast, but less imposing as the nose suggested. Light body, low to medium carbonation; bit slick, oily feel. Trying to marry Belgian tripel to Irish red (a style invented by French Pelforth brewery, according to Martyn Cornell)? Not bad, neither special.

Huge, very dense, slowly pitting-in yellowish head over metallic orange-golden beer. Bit toasted nose, pale malts, cucumber, lightly coloured malts, spicy. Again toasted, dry malts dominating, spices-herbs. Hints at non-alcoholic dry drinks. CO² lends a bit of acidity. Light body, seems quite well-attenuated, good carbonation. Bit over-classic, but not bad.

330ml bottle from Craft Republic in Moscow. Bottled in December 2017. Pours opaque brown with a massive beige head. Aroma is Belgian yeast, dried fruit, vinous, cardboard. Taste is light sweet, dried fruit, yeast, stale malt, cardboard. Sweetish finish. Medium bodied. Almost no carbonation. This has aged really quite badly. Seems to be oxidised.
