330ml bottle served in a tulip. Bottle is dated Mindestens haltbar bis: Ende Maerz 2025. Brought this home from Europe, I probably picked it up in Munich.

Pours a murky amber with a slow-to-form and short-lived head that peaked around a finger, falls back into a generous ring. Smell is citrus rind, slight booziness, fairly mild overall.

Taste is also fairly mild. Definitely has a strong citrus presence, definitely gives a boozy impression, gives a little bit of a grainy note, but nothing in the flavor really speaks of tripel or Belgian at all.

Mouthfeel is the one thing (besides alcohol content) that really reminds me of tripel -- moderately thick, chewy, but not sticky. Overall...it's not bad, but it's not very interesting, and it's not really much of a tripel.

I had a 0.33l bottle of this at Tap-House Munich on 27SEP22. Oddly, the address listed for Brew Mafia is the same as that for Tap-House Munich.... Cost was €7.90, a bit steep..... but anyhoo....

Poured a clear, medium golden, with a thin, sparse, off-white head, and light lacing. Nose was lightly fruity and mild. Body was a good medium, with a decent feel on the tongue.

Taste was lightly fruity, with notes of orange and lemon. also sported a bit of biscuity malt upfront. Finish had a smidge of spiciness, with citrus lingering, and was somewhat dry. A different sort of Tripel.... Prosit!
