hazy golden yellow with a fizzy white head. It’s got an aroma of polished leather, cabbage, and citrus which is certainly interesting. The flavor is grapefruit, ginger, with a carbonated smooth aftertaste. Not the best Van Steenberge by any stretch...

I actually enjoyed this one better than most users seem to. It had a nice crispness to complement a good flavor. An easy drinking Tripel, and a nice change of pace from heavier versions. Not GREAT, but good enough.

Cloudy gold, big white head with large bubbles. You get some citrus, some spice, and a decent amount of yeast with this one. Tingly mouthfeel, some alcohol present, almost too much, but smoothness kind of balances it out. A decent tripel, but not top notch.

Huge fluffy white head on top of a murky pale yellow body. Aroma is of lemon, spice and fruit. More spice mixed with lemon upfront in the taste, alcohol shows up at mid-palate but not overpowering. Ok for a triple but nothing outstanding.

I like the aroma, its light and yeasty and refreshing. Color is cloudy yellow. A little sweet, a little alcohol after bite. I prefer their augustijn beer better, but this was decent. Not watery at all.

Rating #300- Aroma is apple cider, cinnamon, and slight alcohol. Light body, with a thick white head. Taste is almost like a schnapps, alcohol isn’t covered up well, not overly sweet. Decent, but I will never buy this again.

The bier poured a light murky yellow color with a very large fluffy white head. The aroma is lemony with a nice yeasty overtone. The flavor is somewhat spicy with some ginger and lemons. I also catch some bananas and wheat. The aftertaste is slight sour with a nice soft mouthfeel. Not a Triple that will cause you to dance the gig, but it is pleasent in all its simplicity.

Light golden color with a big bold head. Sweet fruity aroma, has some accents of honey. First taste is acidic, lightly tart moderatly balanced. Hoppy and spicey, the flavor is just all over the place, not very appealing. Like a rock falling from the mountain it starts out great then crashes.
