3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Fruity smell (cherry, red wine?), average malty. Medium sized white creamy head, fast diminishing. Red sparkling body. Moderate sweet start, light bitter finish, average duration. Medium body, dry and creamy texture, lively carbonation. Finally light astringent finish. Nice one, not one the best Trappist beers but a good one!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark orange, very fizzy with very little head. Fizz went quickly leaving it smooth to drink. Caramel malt nose. Tastes initially sweet then follows up with a nice bitter finish. Nice, but not the best trappist tripel.

Wow. This was a great beer. i wish had been my first, niot my 3rd beer at Strange Brew bar. Muddy orangey brown sewage color with hardly any head. Sweet taste. Tastes belgian. Slightly loweer rating because it is super expensive.

bready yeast aroma with oranges and spice ... heavily carbonated ... malty sweet with a bitter finish ... aftertaste is a bit pastey with a light soapy film ... nice beer but I feel like I’m missing something
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Muddy orangey brown sewage color with hardly any head. Ugliest tripel I have seen. Cotton candy and bubble gum nose. Thin, waxy palate. Malty, tropical fruit framework. Very sweet. Quite possibly an off bottle.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a thick creamy white head, yeasty, bready dough, cheesy nose, with some orange, citrusy, fruity accents, a mild floral hop apricot accent, with some honeyed malt notes in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, toasty, fruity, cheesy character, with some candied orange peel, marmalade fruitiness, some honeyed pale malt, caramelized malt accents, a nice carbonation balance, with a subtle floral hop citrusy, leading towards a malty, fruity, faint hop bitterness finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark hazy orange with a large off white sustained head. Floral peachy aroma. Soft fruity flavour, peach and lemon, caramel and a lot of esters. Soft full body with a very gentle carbonation. A complex and interesting tripel, nicer than some of the other trappist versions.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: APR 26, 2008 33cl bottle from Systembolaget. Pours a golden color with very little head. The color looks a lot like the Blonde. The flavor is sweet, bitter and fruity and tastes like apples and bananas. It has a short aftertaste.
