Jun 6, 2009 Nice golden color with some off white golden streaks. The aroma has hints of honey and spice. Not too overpowering, which makes for a very drinkable beer. Would highly recommend. Cheers to this one.

Jun 5, 2009 Appears hazy reddish orange with a thick rich head. Smells yeasty with hints of orange and some floral aromas. There is a sharp bite added with mixed spicy bitterness. The taste slowly mellows out, with a smooth clean finish. This is easily drinkable, in fact I drank it way to quickly without realizing it. It achieves both refreshment and complexity. There is just the right amount of alcohol presence, not overpowering, but you know its there

Jun 5, 2009 Bottle - Shared this one with a buddy. Pours cloudy yellow with a huge 4 finger white fluffy head. It’s yeasty, but I really can’t pick out any other obvious flavors. I really enjoyed the smoothness on the end. Aftertaste has a touch of alcohol. I do enjoy Chimay Red just a bit more, but this is still near the top of my list.

Jun 5, 2009 Bottle. Out of the three Chimay brews, I feel this is the weakest. This tripel is pretty good but not great.

Jun 4, 2009 I was not impressed.. I actually switch Glasses to see if it would make it better.. It helped but not enough.. Half way through drinking this I was thinking to myself that NB trippel is better than this... My opinion is Tripel Karmeliet is by far the better tripel out of all of them.. Great appearnce and body with hughe carbonation. But I longed for more spice with this brew.. It was way too mellow for a tripel... Bummer

Jun 3, 2009 This tripel pours golden yellow with a slight orange tint. It has a strong white head that stays and then fades into a ring. The aroma is light and hops-filled with slight fruity characteristics. The taste is instantly bitter which lets the taster know that there is a great deal of hops in this brew, but quietly fades into a dry, fruity taste.

Jun 2, 2009 This is a beer you can’t get here in Edmonton. I’ve been wanting to sample it for a very long time, with the hope it would be as good as the red and blue label. Wholly crap was I disappointed! What the hell happened to this one!!!! The beer did pour a nice cloudy light orange color, with a thick white head and had a very floral scent that got stronger the warmer the beer got, but it was very light feeling in my mouth with some carbonation. I think it was the taste of this beer that really let me down; it was very light tasting with sweetness, and some citrus in the background but the flavor felt very watered down to me. There was bitter sweet after taste that disappeared almost instantly. I want to try this beer again to give it another chance because I was pretty loaded while playing poker at the time of the sampling. I wouldn’t say it was a bad beer it just didn’t live up to my expectations, or the quality of the other Chimay’s
