4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Classy beer from the always reliable Het Anker. Big stewed apricot nose and bubblegum nose. Really nice. Big carbonation - possibly too carbed for me. Lots of stewed apricot, some lemon, candi sugar. Dryish finish. Really well made and unique - it’s difficult to describe it’s true flavour. Wonderful.

UPDATED: APR 16, 2013 Licht troebel goudblond bier. Aroma licht pittig, brood, vanille, hop. Smaak is bitterzoet. Licht waterig, maar zacht palet.

330 ml bottle, nice appearance and aroma with medium taste. Good but not that good as other tripels.

Bottle @ Belgian Brew Fest. Good Tripel with serious sweetness and depth.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Refrigerated 11.2 oz. brown bottle poured into a trappist glass. Pours dingy golden with small white head. Little lacing, low/medium carbonation, and pale candy sugar aroma. Taste is pale candy sugar, pear, some yeast, and hops to balance the finish. Expected more based on the ratings.

(From notes 16.11.12) Tap. Smells similar to La Chouffe. Smooth mouthfeel, hardly any carbonation. A bit sweet, nutty, butter. Good beer. Served perhaps a bit too cold (I would have prefered warmer).
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
33 cl bottle. The aroma is spicy and fruity, especially citrus. Pale yellow color and fast fading white head. Body is medium, texture slick and slightly creamy, carbonation lively. Carbonated mouthfeel with a bitter citrus dry. The finish is abrupt and dry. Very good triple, but not great, in my opinion.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
2012.12.09 - 11.2oz bottle in tulip glass. Pours an opaque light caramel. Massive foamy 3 finger head sticks around, literally, subsiding to "just" one finger after a bit. Aroma is mild breadiness and spices. Reminded me of Weyerbacher Seventeen so maybe some of the same citrus peel or peppercorn. Taste is sweet maltiness typical of many Belgians with, again, a spice offset reminiscent of Weyerbacher Seventeen (to me). Mouthfeel is medium, a bit of creaminess. Just a bit of alcohol on the back end. I wouldn't drink a ton of this, but this one is going down pretty quick. Classic is one of my favorite beers, and I'm not yet a big Tripel fan so this turned out about how I expected.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This brewery is capable of hitting them out of the park this one I’ll call a triple. Pun intended. A solid brew but not one of my favorite for the style
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
0.75 bottle. The beer is slightly hazy, color hangs between yellow and coppery, and swings either way depending on light intensity. Head is white and big of quite good retention. Nice aroma, typical Belgian mixture of hops, citrus and spices with particularly strong hints of lemon, sugar and an uncanny addition of yeasts. Taste is sweet in a fruity manner somewhat more than a typical tripel although not to a fault, also the lemon and banana are much more featured. A little bit of bitterness on the side does not allow it to lose refreshing qualities. Body is medium, texture creamy and slightly slick as well, carbonation lively or even fizzy. Finish is medium in length, follows the taste and aroma but the characteristic lemon taste is toned down, it is also bitterer and thus not so balanced. With small reservations this beer is splendid. What is surprising is that the brew is not perfumed but the high alcohol content is perfectly covered anyway.
