Lightly hazed golden hue, moderate head formation. Yeasty aroma with peach and honey prevalent. Sweet fruitiness on the palate, canned peaches, oranges and pears, a touch of candy sugar. Spiciness and alcohol warmth provide some balance. On the sweeter side with noticeable alcohol which makes it surprising for me to say "pretty tastey."

Bottled. Pours an almost apple juice looking color. Aroma is mostly of yeast and is a little fruity. Sweet fruity flavor. Some smokiness as well. Alcohol is a little strong in the finish. A little bit of spice as well.

[PIBF’04] Draught. Murky golden yellow with good head and lacing. Spice and yeast in the nose. Spicy and yeasty flavors with notes of citrus. Creamy texture and finish. Good beer.

Golden, cloudy appearance, with relative little carbonation compared to what one might expect for the style. Alcohol is very evident, and taste is generally very sweet. A decent Belgian tripel, but seems like the alcohol content was deliberately goosed up to me.

Not as smooth as the "true" belgian trippels I have tried, but a decent approximation at a nice price.

Dark orange gold, slight head, wafts of cinnamon and evergreen forest after it’s open...smooth, all most lager like malt cut by spicy alcohol, slight bannana and "slop" in the finish. Better than the last time I tried it...

Draught @ Brouwer’s Cafe pours cloudy golden, medium white frothy head, lovely lacing, with soft carbonation.   Sweet bready/yeasty nose.   Slightly fruity as well.   Quite sweet on the tongue, bready, fruity... almost a bit cloying tho.   Feels fairly heavy as well, body and mouthfeel.   Finishes strong, spicy, very bready, but not very smooth.   Slight alcohol burn on the finish.   Meh...

A little biscuit malt with some pilsner malt notes. A touch of malt astingency and some definite candy sugar. Smewhat grassy and hay like hop qualities. Alcohol is noticeable with a grainy mouthfeel. nedds more balance to be very good .

This has a big estery aroma full of fruit and burnt caramel. Perfumey, and definitely composed of uniquely roasted malts. The finish is a little bitter, something in the malt coming through in the final stages here. The alchohol is very well concealed, most perceptible in the ensuing drunkenness, other than the alchohol abundance in the aroma. The yeast is definitely a point of referance for this beer, everything seems to be built around it, hiding under it or sneeking out from underneath it. A touch to typical for the style, but still well done. A decent pick for rating number 700.

Poured a darker, cloudy amber color with almost no head. Aromas of spices, fruits (apples and pears) and yeast. Spices heavier on the tongue. Sweet. 9% Alcohol fairly well hidden. Somewhat of a watery body.
