4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
750ml. Bottle. Pours hazy and golden. I thought the Aroma was a little off or light I should say; but...im 3 ribs in, to a rack of spare ribs, so maybe all the complex features are there and I just can smell them. That aside; the beer, I thought was exceptional. Medium bitternesss and very light on the sweet end, finish is long and the taste is very refreshing. A score of 97 is spot on. Although somewhat heavy, this beer goes great with a rack of ribs...enjoy

Hazy yellow, good head. Aroma has a spicy, Belgian funk. Taste is spices with a feel of alcohol. Finish is more warmth from alcohol.

11/01/2011 - 33cl bottle @ home (2011-13)
Clear yellow to light orange beer, white head, continuously supported by lots of carbon in the glass. Creamy nor adheasive though. Aroma: sweet malts, a little overripe fruits, alcohol, a little citrus. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malts, somewhat fruity (peaches are present) and a little spices. Aftertaste: first some hops, then sweet, sugary. Finishes with some citrus. Not bad, but not very exciting either.

Oh man the triple is such a beautiful light color. Nice and smooth with a really pleasing finish. Maybe a little dried fruit lingers. The wonderful thing is the slight bit of heat in your throat mixed with spicy dried fruit aftertaste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Beer Ritz. Bright golden pour with an off-white head. Banana, apricot and cinnamon aromas. Fruity tang. Lots of citrus, apricot and pineapple. Fruity finish with a light bitter tang.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a cloudy golden color out of the bottle with a white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of citrus and yeast with some leathery notes. Nice full flavor with mostly orange zest and coriander hints balancing a sweatbready malt. Palate was a little flat, but did have some lively carbonation. Its thin on the mouth. A good example of a Tripel.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
High carbonation, clear beer. Quickly dissolving head. Suger, light floral, hay, spices. Nice rich taste, tingling bitterness.

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2011 750 ml bottle slowly poured in tulips and shared with friend. Tantilizing gold with lots of carbination. 3 " head which left nice lacing. Aromas of tangyBelgium yeasts with fruits minimal spices mixed with lightly roasted malts and alcohol.Tastes closely resembles the nose of this brew. a perfect representation for this style. The trappist tripels began my journey into Belgium brews. I have since ventured into sour and Russian Imperial stouts as well.
