WVHouseofBeer (341), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA May 22, 2009 Had a really nice aroma of grapes and yeast. A very clean taste of raisins, spices, and other tropical fruits. Finished very smoothly, mmm what a good beer. SAVertigo (15), Shillington, Pennsylvania, USA May 21, 2009 Chimay on tap? Only at Canal St Pub, at least in this crap town.
The smell was very atypcial of most tripels I enjoy. Westmalle and Bernardus Tripels have a certain belgian tripel smell, no one knows how to describe it but this doens’t have it. Not does it have the american tripel honey nose, nor the canadiana tripel clove nose.
It smells very nicehowever.
The taste is great. Very typical Tripel taste, nothing overally fantastic. There are much better Tirpels for your money out there.
This beer is recommended, but not if other tripels are available. Try a Westmalle, or Bernardus Tripel if you want a true Belgian experience dchmela (1411), Orlando, Florida, USA May 21, 2009 Tasted at the GOBF. Pours a light hazy amber with a thick fluffy white head. Slightly fruity, earthy hop, musty aroma. Spicy hop bitter taste with a nice light malt body and a nice balancing sweetness. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA May 19, 2009 Sampled at the GOBF. Not as bold as the Blue. Much lighter and fruitier. Nice honey flavor with the grainy and wheat flavor. drseusszb200 (187), Florida, USA May 19, 2009 pours a cloudy amber color with a head that fades relatively quickly. it smells of spice, apricot, and sweetness. tastes of orange and clove. hubcrawler (36), , Virginia, USA May 18, 2009 Pours an unfiltered blonde amber with a gererous cream colored head. It has aromas of wheat, apricot, apple spice, and honey. Has an earthy taste coupled with flavors of yeast and subdued hops. There is some moderate carbonation but the alcohol is virtually hidden. A very nice beer to muse over. zakkbironia (82), Athens, Greece May 17, 2009 A great blonde beer, honey color, great palate! Drunk in 330 cl bottle, good impression. Try it out! DaveBrewer (9), Florida, USA does not count May 16, 2009 A beautiful golden color in the glass. Drinks smooth and easy, but you never forget the mild hoppiness. Easy to drink too many of these.
