Pours golden, clear and with a decent head. Bad retention, though. Smells sweet and malty. Tastes sweet and malty. Some mild bitter towards the end, before continuing in an oily sweet aftertaste with some alcohol warmth. Overruling sweetness makes it not very refreshing and puts it off-balance. There are way better tripels out there.

Taste is great like a kleffe tripel. The beer as expected from a.Belgium brewary. I recommend it.

Citrus, esters. A bit more on the malty side than some. Some butterscotch, but otherwise nice. A bit something green. Nice, a bit malty, but good. Butter. But soft and easily drunk. Bananas, ripe ones. overall, this is more like a double/quad-gone-tripel. The malts and candi are more prominent. Not an overcarbed hard, spicy, thin one. But more of a estery, fullbodied soft thing.

Oh dear momma i love this delicious beer like i love the feel of smooth, tender butt-cheeks of a special woman who i would marriage and live to please forever. this amazing beer is to be enjoyed regularly with many many plays of Louis Prima with full orchestration and devotion to beautiful song and glorious ass. this amazing beer is a special favourite as I can obtain at Local Albertson’s for a price of only 9.99 us dollar. so as to satisfy the beer snob of people around this planet i will say it has hint of fallafil, equine musk, strawberry, melon of fruit and berry and even a hint of gyro or even special kabob on a cold new york city night when only thing available is man with cart and special skewar of meat. i love you and please to enjoy this delicious beer with your best girl and special Louis Prima Songs for love and devotion.

330 ml bottle. 1511. BB 30/05/14. 9%. From bierzwerg.de.
Cloudy golden colour with an average sized white head. Belgian style yeast, malt, fruitiness and mild sweetness. The flavour is yeast, mild sweetness, mild hops and maltiness. Rather balanced. It’s warming a lot but still there’s no alcohol flavour. Not a bad one.

Bottle @ home. Profumo di malto e alcolico, poco fruttato e poco intenso. Colore ambrato un filo opaco. Gusto non molto complesso, anzi, sin troppo standard. Di corpo pieno, carbonatazione in linea con lo stile (presente ma non eccessiva) finale piuttosto lungo e pastoso. Il palato è sicuramente l’unico vero pregio. Il resto è un po’ soft... anche il gusto di pesca sciroppata e di alcol non è ben bilanciato. Rimane una tripel di disceta fattura, ma lontana anni luce dall’olimpo delle sue più particolari colleghe...

Pours a pretty amber gold, with plenty of frothing head, many bubbles and some bouncing sediment. Pleasant palate, with some excitable carbonation. Fruity, hoppy aroma, some malts. Pleasant flavour hides its high alcohol content, lots of fruits, sweetness, hops and malts. Tasty.

Bottle 33cl. Golden clear with a huge foamy whithe head. Aroma of malt, banana, spices and bread. Sweet taste with a light bitter caramelish end. Interesting. München 5.4.2013

Bottle 33 cl, BBE 06/2014. Pours unclear golden in color with a creamy white head. Fruity, bready malty and light peppery spicy in aroma. Nice. Some bready malts, light honey kind of sweetness, some citrus and a bit of sour wheat in taste.

there are better triples then this one. Nice golden beer, light bitter and sweet, with fruity smells. Txture was thin watery and a bit sticky. Carbo was nice.
