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.

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.

EValP (30) - Colorado, USA - JAN 7, 2007
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.

Iv been drinking more triples than normal recently, this wasnt such a good one. Aroma was yeasty touch of lemon but unexciting. Tastw was similar a bit buttery at times spicey yeasty finish.

marcus (3763) - Sacramento, California, USA - JAN 2, 2007
This hazy golden ale poured with a marvelous white head, eliciting a fruit and alcohol aroma. The flavor is malty and fruity, with a carbonated mouthfeel and a rather harsh finish.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - DEC 31, 2006
BB 29/3 -06.: Cloudy golden with a wonderfull thick white head . Aroma and taste of yeast/fruit & alcohol. Filling body which has a warmth from alcohol - pleasant. Soft mouthfeel. Malty sweetness. Nice long lasting hoppy finish! Tasted this at Bruggs Bertje 18 month ago, and tasted it for the 2nd time today. Still Brilliant!

DarkStar22769 (100) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 18, 2006
Poured a hazy straw colour with the substantial head that I am becoming accustomed to with these beers. Aroma is astringent, bordering on rubbery. The alcohol is apparent in the nose. Palate is sharp and biting. Flavour is sour on the end, the front made up of the elements that make me pucker my lips...lemony. Lots of lemon. Very interesting. The palate is too sharp for my enjoyment.

probstk (1911) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 15, 2006
300 mL bottle in gift pack from LCBO. App.: pours cloudy golden with a very substantial and long-living, foamy white head. Aroma: a bit of horsey-stink, some honey, fruits (stone fruits and pome fruits), somewhat yeasty. Palate: med bodied, effervescent carbonation and slight astringency. Flav.: spicey, sweet start, something fleeting....maybe the horse-stank(?), surprisingly bitter finish, and not in a good way. Alcohol is definitely present. Not my cup of tea...er, tripel.
