| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2009 Bottle 75 cl. Pours a cloudy, hazy yellow with a medium white head and a hoppy, spicey aroma. The flavour is really complex for a tripel, extremely hoppy with hints of yeast, spices, ripe fruits, honey, brown sugar and some alcohol. A silky mouthfeel and a very bitter finish. A great beer, highly recommended! CUJO (339), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 28, 2009 Can you say sediment?! Visible in the bottle, obviously more so after the pour. The strong hoppy aroma gives a patented IPA punch in the nose, however the flavor is thankfully much more mild. Long lasting, dry looking head. Overall flavor is lighter than expected, a nice surprise. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2009 This light gold pour smells of hops. The flavor is fruitier and it goes down smooth. It does retain that essence of the hop flower though. rodenbach99 (681), Longueuil, Quebec, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 23, 2009 Bouteille verte de 750 ml. Arômes de levure légèrement épicée et de houblon citronné. Belle robe dorée et trouble, effervescence très active et belle mousse. Malgré la présence d’une levure épicée et d’un houblon citronné et floral, le malt retient l’attention avec des notes de bonbon au miel. Finale alcoolisée, sèche et moyennement amère. Agréable. TheEnergy (2), England does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 22, 2009 I was lucky enough to try this on draught at ’t Bruges Beertje and what an amazing beer. It was helped by the fact I had a ridiculous thirst but this beer is truely impressive. A strong hoppy flavour throughout and remarkably refreshing. There were also spices which complemented the hops well. I would advise picking this up whenever you see it. Quite highly carbonated and one of the more gulpable beers given its strength. To date, probably ranks in my top ten.
