Slightly hazy golden with a smallish white head. Aroma of apricot, caramel and some pretty pleasant light spicy hops. Medium body, quite smooth. Flavours of dried stonefruit, caramel fudge and spicy yeast. Warming finish, simple but enjoyable.

Good, but far from great. A standard Belgian Tripel in the outline of many others. A bit spicy, with dark fruit notions. The 8.5% is well represented with slight esophageal burn, a highlight. Worth a try, yet not the best Tripel. Good bargain though, I should add; Great value at $5.99 for a 750ml.

Bottle. A fruity, yeasty golden blond tripel with a sweet/sour taste, slight alcohol bitter finish. More than average carbonation.

golden orange body with a very frothy white head that sticks around for a while. Smells of fruit and yeast with a hint of nuttyness. Bitter at first, but then sweet and citrus takes over, definite overtones of yeast and alcohol. Overall an above average abbey, just nothing outstanding
