3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with an enormous almost overcarbonated white head, excellent lacing. Aroma of slight funk, spice and fruit - pears? Flavor begins malty, a slight sour twinge in the middle, and a spiciness that finishes. The alcohol is masked nicely by the spice and yeast presence, overall I enjoyed this very much. I don’t consider this to be an elite Belgian by any means, but it is a very solid beer, I don’t understand some of the harsh ratings.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle from Gent. Well done tripel all around. Golden colour with medium yeast sediment suspended. Sharp, spicey aroma. Pleasant flavour that was spot on for a tripel. Would not have guessed the 8.5 ABV.

750ml Bottle. Aroma of spices, candi sugar, cloves, banana, orange peels, earth, and alcohol. Appearance has a lot of yeasty chunks. Burns the nose slighlty. Has a nice body, good head retention. Taste a little bitter but doesn’t linger. Smooth and sliky mouthfeel. Spice taste, sweet, creamy, rich and complex. Pretty good.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
LIght and a bit wheaty in aroma, this is quite nice. A good light spice, witha faint bite at the finish. Overall, just solid stuff.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
corked bottle 750ml - poured with a really white head and lemony yellow color reminiscent of some wheats I’ve had...a little overly carbonated and fizzy on the tongue - echoes of white wine - a bit astringent. Best part, in my opinion, was that the abv% was masked - not at all hot or even a hint that it was packing a bit of a punch...with all the Belgians out there to choose from now, I didn’t think this one was anything special.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 2, 2009 Deep golden color, dense creamy head with no lacing, lots of carbonation. Very light, fruity aroma. Flavor was maltier than expected, with a fruity, bitter finish. Slightly metallic. This beer did not live up to my expectations.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lager’ish pour, nothing impressive. Light nose with a hoppy finish which was somewhat metallic. Disappointing, 92 overall is far too high for this, IMO. Extra .2 for alc content.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 33 cl. Amber/orange colour, Aroma is spicy. Flavor is very yeasty and spicy with fruity notes and some alcohol and metal.
