pretty decent. strong head and quite perfumey. perhaps a tad too sweet but some pleasant dry fruit spice helps

Malt intensity detracts, but a great smooth alcoholic finish. A very good beer to wean your belgian palate. You will like this stuff.

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2004 Nice more brown coloured for a tripel, great head. Lots of carbonation. Easy to drink, malty. Presence of alcohol is noticable.
Beer is okay but not too great. Overrated imo.

eczematic (1284) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - SEP 6, 2002
excellent stuff - smooth, maltier than most tripels, and fruity-spicy. enormous, creamy, cloudy head - one of the best heads i know. quite sweet, round and yeasty. not unlike my own hello! tripel in fact.

Kåstå (1202) - Mol, BELGIUM - SEP 4, 2002
Dark blond with a medium head. Weak aroma, the alcohol is obvious. A well balanced beer.

A little bit too sweet, almost cloying, especially at first. There are better Tripels out there.

Indra (2323) - Overland Park, Kansas, USA - AUG 7, 2002
Light but festive aroma, white cake and flowers. Hazy, light golden amber color with impressive head and lacing. Honeyed apple, vanilla and malt flavors blend seamlessly into the spiced, lightly bitter finish. Texture is absolutely spot on for these well-built flavors. Efferevescent and light on the tongue, creamy, and without the viscous heaviness some tripels can bring. Incredible balance, and one of the more complex yet laid-back tripels I have yet had. Definitely recommended.

karsten (241) - odense, DENMARK - JUL 28, 2002
Sour, citrus, fruity hops and spiced aroma and flavour. Warming alcohol mouth feel not too overpowering. Nice slightly bitter aftertaste. A very unusual tripel
