Straling (32), Amstenrade, Netherlands Oct 10, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a clear golden colour with a nice foamy head.
Aroma is that of oranges and some other fruits mixed in.
Taste is also oranges, but can also detect banana.
A good abbey tripel. GardenGabe (7), Colorado, USA does not count Oct 9, 2008 Sour yeasty slightly grassy noise. Lots of carbonation somewhat hazy and light in color. Dense lacing. Sour taste with a bitter finish. Heavy on alcohol. Delightful mouth feel with a medium body. DSG (867), Yuvalim, Israel Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Clear golden beer with a huge frothy white head that diminishes slowly. Fruity aroma with some yeast, light hoppy notes, citrus hints and spice (some pepper in there). Flavor is slightly sweetish at first with light bready notes, later gets drier with some yeast and fruits, and finishes with rather bitter spicy hops and some alcohol. Medium-bodied. Not too bad, just nothing exciting and a bit too alcoholic. MagooinPA (89), Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 5, 2008 Wow! Some powerful stuff. Very light straw color with tons of carbonation and a big white fluffy head poured into a Chimay goblet. Very spicy compared to many tripels with lots of sweet alcohol burn. definitely a sipper. Some tripels are almost like session beers in taste, not this one but still very nice. It is an over the top Chimay. Rciesla (871), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a bearly transient golden body with orange tones. Creamy white head. Fruity ethanol latent spicy citrus. A bit sweet and bitter with lots of astringent fruit. Fruit almost converges to a bubblegum like sweetness. Etoh is coming across strong on this one. decent.
