Bottle, pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is light, with hop hints and some citrus. Taste is pretty bitter with a light malt backround. Ends lightly bitter and dry with a light alcohol burn. It’s not that bad, but fails in the substance department.

11.2 bottle purchased from the Belhaize supermarket in Brussels. Murky golden-tan color with a nice healthy head even after a year in the closet. Smells like Belgium. Surprisingly drinkable considering it’ll probably run you 70 euro-cents. A lot of fruity characteristics. Sugary sweetness becomes a little overbearing. Decent, but come on, if you are in Belgium you can do so much better.

Tasted 2007-07-22. Fresh bottle. Hazy yellow colour with white head. Cloves, banana, yeast, sweetness and alcohol. A little too much alcohol for my taste.

Bottled. Thanx oh6gdx. Clear golden in colour. Minor white head, lacings. The aroma is fruity with hints of alcohol. Thb flavour is alcoholic, sweet and has a dry aftertaste

golden appearance with quickly disapearing white head. very sweet with slight hints of hops, but just bitter enough to play this sweetness off better than most of sweet tripels

(Bottled) Hazy yellow-golden with a large, white head. Slightly alcoholic, honey-malty aroma. Acidic and somewhat alcoholic, pretty dry flavor. Light to medium-bodied, stingy-alcoholic palate. Dry, acidic, straightforward and alcoholic seems to be the recipe for Florival Triple. I don’t think that’s the winning combination this time…

Bottled. Orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is glue, malts and some yeast. Flavour is very much fruits, yeast and some hops. Also quite wellspiced.

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2007 Gul let uklar øl. med hvidt skum. Duften er sød, belgisk gæren. og sødligt krydret. Smagen er sød, varm. Let karaml og humle, og let gæret. En af de bedre.
