OnTap Looks kinda dark for a tripel, its a hazy orange with a big fluffy head. Aroma of citrus, and yeasts,with a touch of hops. Flavor is very smooth for a tripel. This is dangerously easy drinking for a beer of 8%. Sweet aftertase, a nice overall beer.

Pours a dark honey color with a thick and fluffy bed of foam. Sweet banana, pineapple, and tangerine in the aroma. The flavor is sweet with banana’s foster combined with some tangy pineapple. Lively mouth feel. Good stuff.

Pours deep orange amber into a trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to spot surface. Apricot and yeast aromas. Sweet and full upfront with apricots and pit fruits. Turning to a dry caramel and hop finish. Quite nice...

Pour from a 25.4oz. Slightly hazy golden beer with a small head. Tingles the tongue and the back of the nose. Smells of dried porcini mushrooms, cork and light caramel. Tastes of porcini, pepper, caramel, and raisins. Finishes of yeast and subtle hops.

Pours a clear, amber color with an average, off-white, creamy, fizzy head which is mostly dimishing and leaves minimal lace. Nose is very un tripel-like; lots of red apple notes, light musty yeast, faint spicy notes, mild warmth, and faint caramel notes. Flavor is similar the same stewed red apple note, some cinnamon to match (like apple sauce), a bit of caramel, some buttery bread, and light spicy notes. Palate is light to medium, watery, lively, and warming. Finishes spicy with pepper, cinnamon, some apple, maybe even a bit of bitterness with warmth. Not really like a tripel at all but light to amber Belgain with a very light palate for a Belgian. Very fruity... not much else to say about this one. The quad was so good and this was just not what I was expecting.

Bottle 330ml. Hazy amber colour, fastly dissapearing head. Aroma has various fruits, alcohol and some sweet notes. Taste is a lot less foamy than in Quadrupel, which leaves the carbonation level unbalancy high. Flavors include alcohol, sweet malt and fruits, bitter and fresh aftertaste.
