The better Tripels tend to have notes of peaches and apricots - but this was something else. I cant wait to get my hands on more.

500ml bottle

I tried this beer on August 18, 2010 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy dark gold colour with a generous white head that lasted. The aroma was yeast, citrus, and malt. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation and creamy. The flavour was yeasty, peppery, malty, with some citrusy hints.

500ml bottle from the LCBO. pours clear orange-amber with a nice white head. Great lacing and good retention. Aroma is spicy some orange and subtle hops. Taste is yeasty with some spice and some orange coriander, bit of ginger minor alcoholic notes mostly in aftertaste also noticable are some hops. Plate medium bodied think texture with fizzy carbonation. Awesome palate. Overall an excellent example of a tripel. Exceptionally well balanced. I feel this tripel is more balanced than La Fin du Monde but lacks some of its boldness. Overall quite satisfied. Aroma and taste are a bit understated.

500 ml bottle. Pours a nice hazy, golden yellow with a very rich, thick, creamy, persistent white head. Smells of grain, hops, alcohol. Tastes of major spices, peppermint, yeast, bread. Slight bitterness and alcohol in the finish. Medium-bodied, very creamy. Quite possibly the best blonde ale I’ve ever had. I’m blown away.

The beautiful beer poured a hazy amber with a rather large foamy head. Lacing was just fantastic. Top that off with fantastic carbonation. This one was a looker! The nose on this was simply divine. Citrus comes out in the form of lemon or grapefruit. Spices aplenty. You’ve got to love coriander. The hop profile is very delectable. Then come the flavors. The hops come roaring out like a madman. Big citrus and bitterness. The coriander blends the hops together fantastically. Very nice yeast background. The alcohol is very well hidden. Palate is nice and sticky, a big body and a bitter finish to a wonderful Triple. Thanks Rastacouere!

Amazing orange-brown and very cloudy beer. Nice white brew. Complex fruity and spicy (coriander) aroma. The alcohol is perfectly hidden. Long and moderately bitter final. Wonderful beer!!!

Just a beautiful piece of work. Have had the triple, and the "single", with a couple of bottles of the double on deck. An amazing piece of quality work. Makes me want to visit the brewery, which is really the ultimate compliment.
