Pours a hazy pear-brown with a thin creamy head with some lace. Wonderful sweet spicy and fruity aroma, strong and present. Instant hoppy taste, mellows to malt and spice - coriander - and notes of peach and green grape, ending with a dry finish. Slightly overcarbonated, creamy body. Satisfying Tripel, fruity and well-balanced hopping, I like.

This is my favorite beer, hands down. Lots of spice and body to this abbey tripel. Enough alcohol to keep things interesting, but not overpowering. Nice thick creamy bitter head on this beer that stays with you until the beer is gone. If you like Piraat or Duvel, this beer is comparative. Surprised that this beer isn’t rated a bit higher.

Pale gold with bubbles, white head that disappears quickly. Yeast aroma. Very bubbly, sweet yeast taste, similiar to Duvel.

11.2 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Hazy orange with lasting ring head. Bready spicy ripe peach orange aroma. Caramel orange sweet fruitiness and spiciness. Medium body and carbo. Spicy and complex, pretty good flavor.

Bought as part of a variety pack. Wonderful whipped egg white foam head that lasts. Fainter, but definite aroma of a hog barn - decomposing hay, grain, other more sour notes - and green fruit (actually quite pleasant). Flavor a nice match. I actually can’t pull out too many particular flavors, just a nice beer taste.
