Golden shining and soft feeling in the mouth - perfectly balanced taste - full body and heart warming, a splendid aroma, tickling in the nose - hoppy dry long finish.

Boozy citrusy scent coming from a hazy yellow orange pour with a very thick foamy white head. Very carbonated. Nice deep taste. Citrus, vanilla, cinamon, slightly bready and yeasty. Overall sweet. Alcohol not there in the taste but is there in the warmth. A rather nice Tripple and I love tripples.

Skidds (252) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 2, 2008
Pours a nice sparkling gold colour with a white head. Yeasty and slightly citrus aroma. Strong yeast flavour with a strong citrus and vanilla taste. Quite spicy and hoppy. Far from my fav tripel, but still a good one.

Golden with bubbles and white head that thins quickly. Nice flowery yeast aroma. Pleasant bubbly, yeasty bread taste. Similiar to Duvel.

heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - NOV 27, 2008
02/11 0.33 l bottle @ Hopdevil, Zagreb. It poured hazy golden body with medium sized head. Some yeast fruitiness like apple and orange in aroma. Slightly winy as well. Fine yeasty flavor, more sweet than bitter, with orange, cookies, vanilla and raisins being most prominent. Thinner in body for the style, but one must admit alcohol is greatly hidden here. Shorter, but pleasantly sweet finish. Fine beer, but a bit industrial and cheapish.

Derek881 (664) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - NOV 1, 2008
Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass to drink. The beer had a citrus and grainy-earthy hops aroma, with a sweet candy effect and maybe some yeast and barley too. A fairly standard amber-orange color with a thin, bubbly head that was slightly short-lived. Taste is sweet and candy-like, only a touch of bitterness. A thinner, lighter feel, without much effect on the palate; low-average carbonation. Pretty good beer, but not spectacular.

illkarate (113) - Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 29, 2008
330ml. Pours a light orange/golden color with a minimal head. If I was going to describe this in one word, it would be caramel. It’s right in the front and tends to overshadow the other flavors (grass, fruits, raisins). Overall, pretty watered down, but still a decent brew. Not your typical triple.
