zaf (62) - ITALY - APR 19, 2012
aroma: resin, spruce, caramel, alcohol, apparenza: amber, cloudy, gusto: medium sweetness, palato: average carbonation, full body, aroma fruttato e speziato,allo stesso tempo alcolico,molto complesso poichè presenta molti degli elementi fondamentali della birra,tutti insieme..il gusto è speciale,molto molto fruttato,l’unica "pecca" se così si può definire è che l’alcool forse è un pò troppo pronunciato,ma resta comunque ottima!

Snegurochka (157) - Tromsø, NORWAY - APR 4, 2012
Courtesy of Rune. Shared at Rating Session 22.06.11. Foamy head, which leaves a beautiful lacing. Unclear orange body. Smells like artificial lemon, like the one added to the bathroom and toilet cleaners. All in all it reminds me of unpleasant house work. I also think the taste of alcohol was too protruding.

SPDickerman (424) - Texas, USA - APR 3, 2012
Pours hazy yellow golden with a sudsy white head. Smells fruity and bready. Taste is sweet, tangy fruits from the yeast, and a bit like sourdough bread. Medium-to-full bodied with a smooth texture and lots of mouth-carbonation, Affligem Tripel finishes like pears.

martinrumsam (233) - BARNSTAPLE, Devon, ENGLAND - MAR 20, 2012
bottle in trappist glass . mid gold , just a touch hazy with thin white head that lays on top throughout and laces . aroma is overripe banana, cloves yeast. medium - full carbonation with decent body . taste starts spicy with sweetness in the middle with a dry slightly bitter finish - a touch too much alcohol in the taste but gives a satisfying afterwarmth . A decent tripel if you like the style but cannot match the Karmeliet .
