Beer pours a hazed dark gold with orange hues and a huge white long lasting head. Aroma is yeast, spices, grains and citrus. Mouthfeel is weak to meadium bodied with average carbonation. Was hoping for something less thin. The flavour is yeast, citrus, and the spices really come through as an herbal addition to the grains.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

A 69 day old maibock, but that is partly my fault as I misplaced the bottle in the cellar. The beer pours a translucent light scarlet colour with a thin tan head that quickly disippates. Aroma is grains, floral hops, and weak yeast. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is toasted malt, yeast, weak caramel. A pretty good attempt at a spring bock.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Bottle is labelled as "Scaldis Blonde Tripel". The beer pours a hazed darek gold colour with a generous white head. Aroma is yeast, light fruits, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. Alcohol is the firest thing I taste followed by some sweet fruit notes, yeast, and spices. Over the course of the hour, the alcohol does become less noticeable.
