Jul 31, 2007 Pour looks just like champagne with a thicker white head. Aroma of white grapes, apples, sour yeast, and alcohol. Tart, bitter flavor was unexpected but not bad. Apples, grain, and bready prevalent. Missing the nice banana/bubblegum. There are better trippels out there.

Jul 27, 2007 Bottle. Light yellow beer with a white head that dissipates quickly. Alcohol was noticeable and a bit watery. Van Steenberge has made better efforts.

Jul 21, 2007 Nice enough tripel- although nothing to get too excited about. Very sweet and spicy. Hard to believe it comes in at 9%. More drinkable than most tripels, but maybe because it is missing some of the complexity you’d expect.

Jul 12, 2007 Bottle. (as Old Buccaneer Reserve) Hazy, golden-orange body and a white head. Spiced and fruity, mostly orange and lemon, with some alcohol. Sweet flavor as well, some alcohol, spices, fruits and some grain. Full body. Long, sweet and fruity finish with a little spiced touch. Dangerously easy to drink. Nice. (070528)

Jul 6, 2007 Bottle. A very lively bottle, perhaps shaken up in its trip from Belgium to Alaska to Panama. Aroma is excellent yeast, flowers, banana...very alive smelling. However, I think that this smells better than it tastes. The taste seems off balanced with the alcohol dominating (9%). Taste is dominated by some tartness. Average (or below) for the style, but still it is a belgian ale, so better than 80% of the beers out there.
