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.

Taverner (1037) - San Ramon, USA - NOV 5, 2009
Pours golden with white fluffy head. Aroma is fruity, musty, and spicy. Flavor is sweet, tangy but ends on a strange aftertaste affecting only the palate - an oily residue.

SPDickerman (326) - Texas, USA - FEB 7, 2012
Pours clear golden with small white fizzy head. Smells crisp fruity, as triples do, with some malt and hop flavors underneath, hints of bread and earthy notes. Taste is a lot more like a sweet white wine, fruity, very mild bitterness and not much malt characteristic, but hints of bread. Full-bodied with a slick texture and lots of mouth-carbonation, Bornem Triple finishes with a faint dryness.

rondphoto (465) - Lakeside Park, Kentucky, USA - DEC 17, 2011
Hazy orange with good head and lace. Thin at the beginning, but expands quickly to an explosion of orange citrus and alcohol. Light floral hops seal the deal. This is a big ale that deserves to be savored.

SilkTork (4691) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - NOV 20, 2011
From the Nice Carrefouir Belgian pack. Just completed the Nice-Cannes marathon, though outside the six hour limit, so no time, no medal and no t-shirt. Bastards. To be honest, this beer isn’t much compensation. Bog standard perfumey strong pale beer with foamy carbonation, Alcohol - hot, harsh, soapy, burning down the gullet. This is crude stuff. No thought, no originality, no finesse. I’d have honestly preferred a strong Euro lager - while it would have also been crude and lacking in originality - at least it would have been sweet, smooth and drinkable. Right, off for a nap now - bloody exhausted.
