thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - SEP 12, 2009
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy with floating yeast chunks softly carbonated dark yellow colored body and an excellent lacing. The weak aroma was floral and malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The crisp flavor contained notes of malt sweet mild floral hops and mild candy. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

(Bottled) Opaque golden color with a smallish head. Hoppy, slightly sour, tasty and fruity aroma. Sweetish, toffeeish, fruity and berryish flavor. Medium-bodied, neutral, low-carbonated palate. A quite pleasant and tasty brew.

750. ml. bottle. BBD 6/2009. Pours an initially fluffy, tiny bubbled, white head, which collapses into a thin lasting layer, with Belgian lacing, over a clear, golden (SRM 5) body......nose is pepper, light clove, bit of apple, lemon.....taste is light malt to start, then lemon, clove, cardamom, and a tiny bit of pineapple.....mouth feel is on the light side of medium, carbonation adds a light spritz. Honey and floral aromas lingered after the glass was emptied, This is a good example of the style. Spice and fruits are there. The alcohol is well hidden. This appears to be a beer which gains greatly from a time in the cellar. BJCP 9/3/15/4/8

thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 28, 2006
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.

UPDATED: SEP 29, 2008 Pours gold into a snifter. Bright white micro head with good retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes to skim surface. Lemon, biscuit and candi aromas. Thick biscuit and alcohol from front to back with a lasting yeasty lemon pepper finish.

Servida en The Drunk Monk (Mataró). Siempre he sido un gran amante de las tripel y este es un gran ejemplo de gran cerveza tripel. Con cuerpo, aroma, buen final de trago.
