Poured a slightly yellow colour with a large white head. Not bad, i’ve had better Tripels. Spicy, fruity(lots of banana), and a prominent taste of alchohol.

330 ml bottle. I love the bottle shape on these beers, which is unfortunately one of the few redeeming qualities of this beer. Pours a nearly clear gold with a moderate, white fluffy head that lasted until I poured my glass down the sink. Aroma of wet straw, kind of stale actually, along with a bit of honey. Flavor was sickly sweet. Not excessively sweet, but sweet like in a rotting fruit kind of way that makes you seek out the Pepto Bismol to keep it nearby just in case. Lots of alcohol as well. Long, dry, acrid finish. This stuff was pretty bad. After about half an hour, down the drain it went.

33 cl bottle. Muddy/dirty yellow colour, fast fading white head. Pretty nasty and limpid looking really. Decent aroma, light Belgian malt, a touch of honey, wheat, and apricot/peach. The fruitiness has an overripened character that seems a bit too close to rotting to be really impressive. Light clove and a touch of mintiness. Flavour are similar with a bit of metallic character. Lightly cidery on the finish. Doesn’t really do it for me.

Cloudy golden body with a two-finger tall white head. Aroma of bananas and alcohol. Sweet fruits up front with hops becoming evident in the piney finish. Interesting.

Poured a Hazy Yellow color into a Duvel tulip glass. Big White head that retained for a while. Aroma of many fruits. Spicy at first then smooths out but still leaves along some alcohol. Overall, pretty good Triple.

Bottle. Syrupy sweet orange and apple aroma with strong alcohol nose. Cloudy light yellow with moderate head. Sharp acidic bite initially followed by a sweet dried apricot, white pepper, and citrus hops flavor. Slightly on the dry side.

Not unlike other bottled triples, this one poured a light yellow with a large creamy white head. Smelled of wheat and straw malt and heavy hop perfume of grapefruit and lemon. Hints of bubble gum, like others I have had, with apple and a white wine type of aroma.

At first taste, I get a light sweet flavour and it feels very smooth. The lively carbonation compliments it well. It finishes with a slight acidic taste that’s lasts on average with other triples. Light to medium body with a dry texture and leaving a slight metallic taste in my mouth.

This is a very smooth abbey triple and is easy to drink. The aroma backs up the flavour and tastes a bit spicy on the tongue. Fruity and refreshing, I liked it.
