Bottle shared with tupalev. Pours a clear bubbly golden-orange with a small white head. Aroma of fruit, malt, hops, caramel, spices and yeast. Nice! Sweet flavour follows the aroma but has a mild alcoholic bite to it. Hides the 8.5% very well and goes down really smooth. Medium bodied. A pleasant surprise, this is a very good Tripel!

Aug 21, 2008 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.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle. A fruity, yeasty golden blond tripel with a sweet/sour taste, slight alcohol bitter finish. More than average carbonation.

Aug 13, 2008 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

Aug 6, 2008 What can I say? Very high quality beer! Aroma is quite strong; almost smells like whiskey. Got almost an apple-y taste. If you’re willing to shell out the dough, this is a good one.
