Pours cloudy gold color with a massive head that has little retention. I don’t see to many yeast floaties on my first pour into my Corsendonk glass (shown in picture... sweet!). Aroma is yeast, spice, citrus. It goes down real smooth, sweet fruity malts up balanced nice with spicy hops with a dry finish. Big frothy mouthfeel that just adds to the exceptional quality of the brew. This wins my best beer of the weekend award.

Jul 12, 2008 12 oz bottle into pseudo-trappist glass. Yellow/orange/golden pour with a nice white head that lasts pretty long - looks refreshing. Aroma includes typical Belgian sugar candi with additional hints of orange and coriander and maybe some clove. Flavor is the exact same but more potent. Smooth finish with just a very faint hop bitterness drag. Light and fizzy on the palate with a champaign-like fine but active carbonation. Overall: refreshing and highly drinkable brew. Great for these hot summer days and nights.

Jul 12, 2008 750ml bottle, at home with renffisch, 17th June 2008. Pours a very lively straw yellow with a white head. Beautiful aroma of coriander, cardamon, apples and honey. Soft and velvety on the tongue with a honeyed character (but not too sweet) balanced by some bitterness coming through late in the sip. The alcohol is well hidden and this is a very drinkable tripel.

Jul 9, 2008 Decent, not at all what I expected. I knew from the start it was not a pale ale, but It tasted more like a very strong pilsner to me. Slightly grassy hoppy and spicy taste. Lots of head and carbonation. Nice balance of sweetness and bitterness.

Jun 27, 2008 Bottle and tap. Liquid gold in a bottle! Odd to call it a "pale ale’. A bomb will go off across the palate as you enjoy a very unadulterated and elegant triple. A must!
