neongolden (177) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 11, 2012
(350mL bottle from the LCBO) Pours a cloudy pale golden orange with a fairly thin white head for a Belgian. Nose kind of dusty with yeast at first, but some pale fruity malt and candy sugar underneath. Flavour a little better than the nose; light fruit, vanilla, yeast and malt with a faint spice and metal on the finish. Body was medium, a little oily with very soft and creamy carbonation. A fairly good tripel but not a standout.

Atheist_Peace (737) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - DEC 5, 2012
330ml bottle. Golden/yellow pour with average snow white head that sticks around a little. Nose is chalky on top with some solid fruit and candi sugar underneath. There’s something....rubbery about the nose. Tastier than expected. Those weird chalk and rubber notes are gone, leaving a nice fruitiness and slightly warming finish. Solid, if not that exciting.

Bendrixian (711) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - DEC 1, 2012
Clear golden colour with lots of carbonation and a finely bubbled head. I find the aroma reduced but there is banana and vanilla esters as well as bread notes and vanilla pudding with a hint of lemon. medium bodied for the style and fast finish. It opens up with a metallic taste, creamy texture and flavours are vanilla, some bitterness but i find it surprisingly watery.

Shaney (1807) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - NOV 30, 2012
#377 Kraftvolles Tripel mit fruchtigem Geschmack nach Aprikose und Pfirsich. Der Abgang wird zunehmend herber nach Steinobst und Aromahopfen. Ein gelungenes Tripel! Test vom 24.5.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,10,10,11,10,11 - 10,75

prawlie (870) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - NOV 13, 2012
33 cL bottle from ABS Drinks into an Affligem glass. Golden orange, fizzy, with a good creamy head. Nice spiced aroma. Refreshing, nicely hopped, fruity and a good example of a Belgian tripel.
