Aug 2, 2009 Absolutely fantastic tripel! Best of it’s style i’ve had.
I got it on tap from the Yardhouse in Phoenix. the aroma was difficult to distinguish considering the setting, but it was definitely yeast and raisin, and perhaps a bit more.
Taste was nice and spicy, with hops, and some cinnamon. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. I’ll go back for more and more.

Jul 30, 2009 Bottle at the Garrison Ale House in Fredericton.
A: The bottle was brought to me, and then poured into a tulip glass by my server... noooo!! It was all poured into the glass, at an angle the whole time, in one pour, resulting in barely any head, and no opportunity for swirling the last of the beer. Crap. So, obviously the appearance has been affected. However, the beer was still a nice, dark orange color, and very hazy.
S: Great aroma of yeast and fruitiness... some citrus and maybe banana as well? Very enjoyable.
T: Very nice taste... starts off with the yeastiness, then the citrus notes come creeping in. Very slight presence of alcohol at the end, with the warming sensation, but it’s all good.
M: Nice and smooth on the palate, slightly creamy. Good carbonation, not overwhelming at all.
D: Another fantastic tripel... I’d love to try it again, if only so I could get a proper pour, but I have no doubt I would enjoy it at least as much. A great sipping beer.

Jul 29, 2009 Rich amber colour, fluffy white head. heavy, dense, lots of sediment. Very well balanced, very bright, medium bitter. Notes of peaches.

Jul 28, 2009 Pours a bright gold with a big, dense, off-white head. Lots of sparkly citrus in this one - esters are hugely present, with a big hop contingent, Belgian yeast and a tiny bit of candi sugar. Definitely hop-forward for a tripel. Nice and dry, great effervescence, really smooth for something this sparkly. Just a tad heavy on the starchy aspects - the yeast really plays a part in here - but really nice other than that.

Jul 27, 2009 Had this at the Yardhouse. Very aromatic triple. Lots of yeast and fruit on the nose. Loved how this one tasted of fruits and bread dough. Very good.

Jul 26, 2009 aroma is of yeast and some tropical fruits. a bit sweet but not offensive. appearance is closer to golden (translucent) then blonde. flavor is quite sweet and plenty estery... setting it a bit apart from the other trappist tripels. palate is not as dry as the others either, while yeast is present it doesnt mop the moisture from your mouth like some do.

Jul 26, 2009 Great Belgian triple. I’m a sucker for the style and you all know this one already. More complex than Blue, for me, and when served on tap, hops come through. Beautifully made beer.

Jul 26, 2009 Tap at PIB. Pours a lovely orange with yellow highlights and a tight white head. Aroma full of yeast, coriander, honey. Flavor is very spicy, coriander and pepper and some yeast and light honey. Has a nice snap to it that I very much enjoy. Would love to do side by sides of the three Chimay beers someday.
