4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a bubbly/hazy golden color. It’s a tripel from Belgium, I don’t think I’ve ever had one that I didn’t like. This one has nice effervescence on the front end that fades to a dry brut finish on the back. Really like it. Grassy hops, candied sugar and classic yeast flavor that’s characteristic of this style. Good/reliable beer. Also ...the Chouffe gnome is the fucking man.
4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 mL bottle from Total Wine in Norfolk, VA. Pours pale yellow, yet appears an almost rusty orange in the glass, with a frothy white head. Aroma of grassy hops and slightly sweet toasted malts. The flavor is on the sweeter side with some candi sugar notes but is well balanced with the grassy and Earthy hops. The palate is clean with everything working in perfect harmony. A near perfect Belgian beer that strangely could be though of as a great gateway beer for the non-beer drinker.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good golden colour with a white head consisting of large bubbles. Aromas of oranges, ginger, spices and bread. Cool in the mouth with plenty of orange and mandarin flavours leaving a touch of citric tartness, which seems to be the main component of the finish along with heavy alcohols. Tasty and drinkable.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is one of my favorite available Belgian ales. Pours light golden amber with a thin white head and good lacing, The aroma of this beer puts a smile on my face and takes me back to Belgium with a nose full of yeast, hay & sweet floral fuit like apricot, Taste is the same with spice and yeasty Belgian bread dough. The finish is complex, smooth & creamy. Very good!
