Hazy honey amber, almost biege head. Fruity aroma (surprising for this style). Bittersweet flavour - very nice.

Vinegar92 (40) - Matera, ITALY - JAN 15, 2012
Eccellente birra di chiaro "scuro", quasi ambrato. Il gusto delicato e allo stesso tempo saporito nasconde abbastanza bene i sentori alcolici. Cio che mi ha colpito di piu è stata la schiuma, che con una grana estremamente fine, addirittura vellutata separa la nostra birra dall esterno dall’inizio alla fine. Un’altra cosa di cui tener conto sono i gradi alcolici, che trasmettono un piacevolissimo leggerol "stordimento" verso la fine. Resoconto: Eccezionale.

Hazy orange/brown pour. Surprisingly little aroma. Rich bready mouthfeel. Yeast sourness throughout, can sense the coriander, yeast, banana. Honestly maybe I’m not in the mood for this stuff but I love tripel and I’ve had much better. Poor balance, booze is evident. Both quite sour and sharp on the finish. Just not that great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours clear deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt,, yeast, sugar and dried fruits. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Crockett (916) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 2, 2012
Orange Haze with a big frothy white head. Nose of citrus, bread, spice. Crisp and very effervescent. Big strong wheat beer flavours. Notes of pepper, clove and banana. Coriander is pretty bold. Darker and more bold than the average Tripel. Quite nice.

DeliriumT (47) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - DEC 30, 2011
A thick amber beer which offers little in the way of aroma for a trappist beer. It pours a fantastic deep amber colour with a redish tinge. Decent dose of syrupy smoothness with a nice hit of hoppy bitterness on the palate. However, la trappe tripel just doesn’t quite compete with it’s Belgian trappist counterparts (achel brune, rochefort 8, chimay blue, westvleteren 8, westmalle tripel and Orval).

sulawang (151) - British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 29, 2011
pours light copper brown, smallish thick head, tons and tons of CO2 streams, sticky lacing. A bit of malt on the nose. 8/10 quite sweet caramel malts up front, 7/10 bitter mids, fruity fig element, lingering bitter malted finish. Halfway through the bottle, the sweetness level becomes too aggressive and somewhat unenjoyable. Medium complexity, medium-high depth, long length, great carry, minor sweetness imbalance, soft tingly carbonation. The flavour of the alcohol is quite apparent in the mids and distracts from the smoothness of the experience.
