Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Aroma of yeast, some caramel malt and some peppery spice. Cloudy, yellow coloured with a decent head. Taste is sweet, bitter slightly dry. Caramel malts, spice and citrus. Decent triple.

Clear golden with a huge, white, Duvel-like head.Sweet coriander and yeasty nose. A lot of coriander and some pleasant sweet chocolatey maltiness in the flavours.Dry finish. Feeling rather light-weight for its strength, above-average carbonation. Alcohol is warming, though. A tripel with some refreshing saison qualities- definitely a beer with personality.

Bottle courtesy of the fine bartenders at Max’s on Broadway at the end of the 72 Hour Belgian Festival. Murky gold with tons of flecks of suspended particles. Fading strong white head leaves a pretty lacing. Big spice and candied orange in the nose along with yeast notes and sweet malts. Hints of cut wild flowers as well. Taste is honey, sweet malts, candied fruits, spices, and yeast notes. Very tasty! Body is smooth with dense but creamy carbonation. Some light warmth as well. Finishes with more grains, candied fruits, peppery spices, honey and yeast notes. Rather tasty tripel!

Cloudy orange golden color, short but lasting head. Aroma of sweet spices, some fruits like orange, wheat and grain. Taste is full bodied, spicy, some cookie, wheat, peppery. Nice beer.

Bottle. Dark golden beer with a very strong head. The aroma is deeply spiced, and the flavour is fruity and spiced with a lot of ginger. Overall a reasonable Belgian ale.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, yellow body with a smallish, white head. Some sediment rolling around in there, too. Smell: Belgian malts coated in candi sugar, honey, spices, hunks of fruit, and even some flower petals. Taste: Pale maltiness augmented with a kick of candi sugar sweetness. Fruity tastes of lemons and pears. A tad floral. Spoonful of orange blossom honey. The tiniest pinch of Chinese Five Spice. Mild hop bitterness. Slight yeastiness. I must say the 9% ABV is well hidden. Sweetish, fruity finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-high, effervescent carbonation. Drinkability: My my, that’s not half bad! Reasonably tasty and surprisingly easy to drink down.

in bottle from beertopia. chunky debris in an orange hazy dark gold color with a big white poofy head. citrus orangey aroma and a big pepper taste on the tongue. a bit chalky at the finish with a sweet and sour abbreviation. this is very good for seven dollars a bottle.
