Large foamy white head, cloudy medium sparkling beer. Grapefruit, aroma not too specific. Taste is more special with a dry bitterness and some sweetness to balance it. Good mouth feel, quite east to drink even though it’s not watery at all. I quite like the hint of spices. Has a lot of sediment when poured fully. (1,85 eur, 33cl bottle)

Amber colour. Decent head. I’m in a friends garden drinking this and the light is fading fast . Sorry, reaslised I have 2 user id’s on here and just trying to copy some of my own ratings. One extra thing, it’s very cloudy and looks more like a wit beer

I am not a particular fan of tripels but you have to love the doen head on this beer, the rather spicy flavour and the fruity nose. A true Belgian style triple! Especially on draught, as it now is in brewery’s tasting room, a pretty good beer.

On tap at De Prael Proeflokaal, Amsterdam. Clouded gold with white head. Quite a peachy, dry beer, light on the palate with reasonable bittering. pretty reasonable.

Bottle. Cloudy golden yellowy beer with a strong head. The aroma is mildly spiced, and the flavour is strongly spiced, very bitter, very rich and vinous in nature. Overall a nice very well flavoured beer.

Starts off great with the aroma, there are few hints if pleasantness in it, but the overall flavor is too hoppy, and so is the aftertaste

Bottle at 17th PINT winterbier festival, Gouda. Pours a hazy light yellow color with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and orange, quite like a decent Belgian white. Flavor is slightly bitter and watery. Somehow there is no finish and low carbonation.

On tap at Café Elsa’s, Amsterdam. Cloudy opaque yellow colour, white head. Aroma of malts, yeast and some flowers. Flavour is light sweet, flowery, yeast, malty, some coriander, slightly alcoholic, dry bitter hoppy finish. Dry mouthfeel, bitter overall. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow with a thick body. Starts off bitter then other flavours kick in but the bitterness still dominates. Drunk from a 75 cl bottle. pleasant.
