Dec 30, 2006 2003 750ml Bottle, tasted December 30, 2006. Beautiful bright orange pour with a big fluffy white head of lacy foam. As the foam recedes from the glass it leaves behind some string lace. Aroma is spicy and flowery, almost saison-ish. Flavor is slightly sweet initially, then the tongue scrapping dryness kicks in. Flowery and spicy. Tripels are one of my least favorites, but this is quality. No hot alcohol in either the aroma or the flavor.

does not count  Dec 27, 2006 Bottle. Murky golden brown color with a big fluffy white head. Tastes of fruity sweetness carried by a texture that’s slightly oily and creamy. All in all this is a must have beer.

Dec 24, 2006 33 cl bottle. Deep golden and slightly earthy with a thick creamy white head. Sticky lace with very spicy/yeasty aromas. Mango, papaya, lime and lemon top notes, more tropical fruit and even some pineapple. A touch of warming follows all of these bringing with it intense spices of cardamon, clove, and ginger. Creamy texture with a lovely wheaty body and spiciness up front. Fresh tropical fruit mingling with warm baking spices. Ginger, clove, black pepper mingle with a soft spearmint flavour on the back. Sweet Belgian malt bring the yeast and fruitiness together. Warming intensifies the spice and softens the fruit. Waves and waves of alternating sweet spice, tropical fruit and tart acidity just make this a world class example of the brewer’s art. Amazing beer.

Dec 21, 2006 Bottle. Golden orange hue with agressively carbonated white head. Nose is orange, pineapple, guava, mango, a little spices, and some yeast. Love the aroma. Flavor is initially sweet with the fruits and then a bit sharper with more bready and yeasty notes along with a pleasent alchohol bite. This is a great beer. So far, my palate has not agreed with de dolle beers, but this one--i likey.

Dec 19, 2006 Bottled. Golden coloured with a rather large head. Yeasty and a bit bready with notes of orange, malts, alcohol, various spices and quite highly carbonated.
iep (229), Amsterdam, Netherlands
Dec 18, 2006 Poured out dark-yellow/copper with a typically huge De Dolle Brouwers head. The head wouldn’t fade either, it just sat there. Nice tripel-aromas, sweet with enough hops to balance it. Very yeasty & bready, with some vanilla. Taste was sweet, not much bitterness. Loads of alcohol noticable - which went well with this beer and amplified the malty bready sweetness. Thick mouthfeel, almost cloying, with alot of carbonation. A very well made, large, heavy & bold tripel.
Arayaga2 (931), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Dec 16, 2006 Reasonable loking yellow with nicely suspended sediment and big white head. Aroma is sweet and tangy which carries over into the flavor. Alcohol is apparent throughout, and burns at the finish. 11.2ozs/$4.10
