4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A very good Belgian style. Anderson Valley makes some great beers, and this is a good example. Pours slightly cloudy, with an herby smell. Taste is great, with an alcoholic tint. Had in the bottle.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
This was a worthy triple! It poured a very pretty, albeit slightly flat, amber. The nose was a bit off, but there was definitely some honeysuckle with brown sugar and biscuit, but you also get funky cheese and meaty strands in there. The taste was what a triple should be, sweet, but not syrupy sweet. The alcohol and body was right where it should be. A very enjoyable triple!
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Murky golden brown color, medium white head that settles quickly Aroma Aroma of straw, hay, and a bit of cardboard. Taste is very sweet straw.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The nice copper body and silky lacing makes for an attractive brew here. Aromas are fairly yeasty, with notes of vanilla and dried citrus. While the scent is floral, the taste is rather sharp; again yeasty, but pretty fruity with a light warmth at the end. Finishes smooth and a tad sweet, only hinting at the 10% alcohol. All in all this is a good brew, just not aggressive enough to make a fair Abbey Tripel.

Orange golden colour, fluffy white head. Spicy aroma, malt, yeast with a good hops tone. Candy sugar, citrus and cloves. Flavour fresh malty, sweet, fruity. Pleasant bitterness, quite spicy. ABV is well balanced. Lively carbonation, spicy finish. Nice.
(Draught @ Café Samson, Nijmegen)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yellow orange, really good head. Belgian funk aroma with the taste of dark spices and a touch of sweetness. Good - just unfortunate thew style is not in my wheelhouse. I keep drinking these and one day that’ll change.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
355ml bottle. Clear orange, fine sparkling, creamy white head. Fruity and spicy aroma. Sweet, but not too sweet malt, citrus overtones. Burning alcoholic finish. Could do better with some tart yeastie notes.
