bottle... light golden color with a small lingering white head and spotty lacing. aromas of lots of yeast, spiciness, dried apricots and fresh flowers. sweetness hits the palate first but is soon followed by dry yeast and a lightly bitter finish. the flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma... a little sweet for my liking. medium body with airy carbonation which gives it a creamy soft mouth feel...

Jul 23, 2008 My favourite of Chimay’s offerings. Lovely citrus flavours that keep you wanting more. A bench-mark for the style.

Jul 22, 2008 this is the first triple i’ve ever had. Poured darker than i expected, a dark cloudy gold with shit floating around. the head was beautiful and rocky and white. flavor was very fruity with a medium body. moderately bitter with dried fruits in the finish and flavor. very good but nothing life changing going on.

Jul 21, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex Trappist, good balance, hazy, rocky head, good brew, but not a topper

Jul 17, 2008 Had a much fresher version than I have been drinking recently and it really showed in aroma. Real hop aroma, some resin and citrus combined with a distinct clove character. Lots of hops race around the palate, oranges and spices and a full malt body all interplay on the path to a dryness and bitterness that last. Perhaps with some black pudding or soused mackerel? I have always had a fondness for the slightly hazy golden tinged orange colour. It looks great and strangely perfect in a Chimay glass.
