Pours a hazy orange color with a real nice foamy head. Aroma is citrus fruits, yeasty and a little grainy. This is very well balanced and easy drinking with the flavors I’ve come to expect from a good Belgian Tripel. It’s got a nice spicy, yeasty, citrus fruity flavor with a touch of hops, a mildy sour note with a clean finish. The alcohol content is hardly noticed (until your body tells you) unless you let the beer warm quite a bit. I have to be honest I got sick of it halfway through the bottle (750ml bottle) but maybe that’s because I’ve had too many Tripels lately. Even as I did work my way through the bottle that foam remains on top which produces a nice amount of lacing. An excellent brew!

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 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
