"A special and strong Trappist ale. The use of coriander gives it a spicy character. Golden in colour with a fruity, bittersweet taste.
Ingredients: Water; Barley malt; Hops; Yeast; Coriander

Too red. Smeels horribly of hard candy and rotten fruit. Way too sweet. Tastes better than smells. So sweet. So rancid.

Bottle, pours filtered amber with a tall white head. Looks great and smells biscuity with some malt and floral hops. Light alcohol and very malty in the mouth the finish is nice and bitter but not overly. Mouth is crisp with moderate carbonation. Nice tripel.

stryk (30) - Farsta, SWEDEN - DEC 28, 2008
UPDATED: DEC 29, 2008 From bottle, red wine glas. Konongshoeven is not the best trappist brewery but not the least good either. Creamy nice head, fully lasting with nice sparkling and lively carbonation. Amber orange body. This is a nice tripel, the nose beeing hay, citrus, grape, orange and even more Seville orange. Apple, coriander, honey, hints of green cheese. Spicy and complex. Medium to full body, dry and a bit on the watery side. Inital sweet and bitter taste finishing in a medium sweet, light acidic and light bitter flavor. The only dutch trappist tripel is better then many belgian tripels not really a world wonder but still sexy. Cheers

pivnizub (7022) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - DEC 25, 2008
Bottle. Deep golden, a bit unclear, lazy carbonation, big creamy off-white head. Solid sweet orangey-almondy nose. Moderate to solid sweet flavour, accompanied by a little bitterness, medium bodied. Almonds, sweet fruits and a little tartness in the finish. Pleasant, warming stuff........
