3.3 Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, biscotto, frutta secca, erbaceo, agrumi ed alcol presente.

3.4 Tämligen hög sötma. Smakrik och trevlig bekantskap. Inte sentationell.

3.8 Hazed golden in the glass and fine head Ok intensity in the aroma Balanced sweetness and a fine carbonation level Easy and pleasant to drink Fruity, some yeast, mild banana and some spices in the flavor [Can from Systembolaget in Sweden]

3.4 Ljusgul med tunt vitt skum. Doftar kryddigt, lite fruktigt. Smaken fyllig, kryddig, lite söt. Eftersmaken hyggligt lång, kryddig, lite söt och besk. Något tunn och alkoholanstruken på slutet.

3.2 Clear light golden with medium head. Banana and honey aroma. Also taste of banana and honey on a malty base. Light bitterness at the end.

3.0 0,25 l can. Pours deep yellow with medium homogeneous white, medium lasting head. Aroma is bread, malt, some fruity and herbal hop notes. Sweetness. Taste is medium to heavy sweet and medium mellow bitterness. Finish is on the short side, malty with some pleasant bitterness.

3.2 0.33 l can from a Systembolaget in Eskilstuna. Shared with Habas. Paired with piquant sausage and some fatty bacon. Grainy and fruity aroma, banana candy. Some vegetables. Ripe pear after a while. Moderately sweet, malty, fruity, moderate carbonation. Some candy, apricot, banana sweetness in the finish. Almost no bitterness.

3.5 330ml can, thanks to Finn for sharing. Stable white head, misty golden body, spotty lacing. Oily hoppy aromas, moments of fruity wheat. Ripe banana flavours joined by spices and moderate yeasty fruitiness. Rounded ending, banana-fruity. Not overly sweet. Fine depth. Likable. (Tromsø 14.12.2021).

3.4 Canned from Systembolaget Clear golden with a medium head. Spicy and yeasty. Sweetish with a low bitterness.

3.4 Delt med Rune på Nerstranda. Gylden. Middels høyt skum som daler sakte. Sevjearoma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken plommer & litt alkohol. Tørr avslutning.

4.1 Fin, smakrik belgarer med mycket kropp.

3.9 Klar ljusgul vätska med två fingrar tjockt och vitt skumlock. Fruktig och brödig i aromen som blandas med lite jästiga toner. Inledande sötma från malten och så en aningens, aningen beska. Allt omsvept av mer smaktäcke av jäst. Lagom bråkig och komplex. Eldig, fyllig och uthållig eftersmak.

3.7 Gylden brun klar med hvitt skum. Lukter karamell, alkohol, honning og belgisk gjær. Fyldig. Fruktig og maltig, noe bitter. Tørket frukt, karamell, sirup, lyst brød og belgisk gjær.

4.4 Fantastic Belgian yeast and spicy aroma, with banana notes. Blind, I could take this for a wheat ale. Taste is sweetish, full grain, syrup loaf, Belgian yeast, and butter flowers. Wow!

3.0 Burk systembolaget. Gyllengul vätska. Doft av druva, alkohol, jäst och örter. Ganska plåtig smak med inslag av övermoget äpple, citrus, jäst och alkohol

3.7 Burk från SB. Klar gyllengul vätska med medelhögt eller kanske snarare lågt kritvitt skum för stilen. En ganska stram och elegant trippel med stor kropp och värmande alkohol. Frukt möter säd, vetemjöl och bröd. Banan och estriga fruktsmaker. Avslutning är förvånandsvärt besk med örter, gräs och peppar. Bra balan. Gott. Men trippel i burk, ska det vara nödvändigt?

3.7 Golden color, small white head. Aromas of bananas, yeast, wheat and spices. Taste of yeast, alcohol, bananas, spices and wheat.

3.8 Can (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear golden, medium white head. Bready malt, fruity notes with some bananas, some floral hops. Semi dry, medium bitterness. A bit Leffe-like.

3.4 Burk från systembolaget. Gyllengul öl med vitt skum. Fruktig och jästig med fina toner av grapefrukt och malt. Torr avslutning.

3.6 @ Gammelgårdsvägen 4/9-21. Can from Systembolaget. Malty, fruity, yeasty and spicy. Body is medium, the finish is dry, malty and spicy.

3.8 Butik Kokkens Vinhus i Glostrup.

3.6 Keg Ölrep 2021-08-10 Göteborg AR: banana skids, Belgian yeasty AP: clear golden, wee transparent white lid F: banana skids, Belgian yeasty,

3.3 (330ml bottle, Netherlands. 07 Aug 2021) AROMA: some alcohol, fermented grain, fall spice, cloves, orange peel, APPEARANCE: medium straw yellow, clear, nice carbonation, average thickness white head with long lasting 1mm residual TASTE: pumpkin, malt, some sweetness, spice, pepper, then a spike in alcohol, roasted malt, smokey bittering hops, PALATE: crisp and light then solidly medium body, nice variance, inside of mouth and tongue bitter coating OVERALL: ok ale with some flavor and alcohol punch, typical high alcohol Belgian ale (or bock) taste. Nice pumpkin and spice to go with the roasted malt. Above average.

3.2 Bottle at a tasting with RB boys. Rather thin body, medium carbonation. Pretty plain, slightly boozy, slightly sugary and grainy malty, with a hint of astringency. Med-light green apples, classic for tripels in my experience. IMO a pretty classic and good example of tripel style. Since I do not like tripels, this means I do not really like it. Okay.

3.0 Tasted @ BBT 07/2021. Strawy pale golden color with medium white head. Bit generic one with banana, spice. Kinda average one.

3.0 BTT 2021. Yellow color with white head. Aroma of banana, candy, malt. Taste the same. Generic Belgian tripel.

3.3 Can at BBT 06/2021. Malty and spicy aroma and taste, banana, light sweet, light to medium bitter. Medium body, malty spicy bitter sweet finish. Ok.

3.2 Can at Bratislava beer tasting 07/2021. Pours pale golden color, white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, malty. Taste is medium sweet, Belgian yeast, malty, banana, caramel.

2.7 Bière blonde forte 8.5%. Aspect limpide, mousse faible, effervescence correcte. Arôme prononcé mais qui s'estompe vite, on ressent peu l'alcool. Amertume correcte. Pour une bière forte, je ne la trouve pas assez complexe, quitte à prendre une blonde pas très complexe on va miser sur une bière plus légère et désaltérante. A l'inverse si on veut une bière forte on préférera prendre une bière avec plus de goût.

5.0 Top Xanesco y Guillesco.
