Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Pours cloudy amber with good but brief white head. Aroma is fresh fruity, peach some orange and yeast. Flavour is moderately sweet, fruity (peach, raisins) with an almond note, low bitterness. Lingering moderately sweet and fruity finish. A very decent tripel.

33cl bottle. Golden colour with a frothy and mostly diminishing white head. Nice lacework on the glass. Aroma is yeasty, moderate citrus and alcoholic. Flavor has notes of orange peel, coriander, yeast, spicy, with a final moderate sweet, alcoholic and with an average duration. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high.

Coppery orange, white head that quickly dissipates. Nose is candy, malt, yeast, alcohol. Smooth, oily, somewhat cloying mouthfeel. Taste is yeasty, sweet, caramel notes, but it also has an odd turnip tinge in the finish.

une de mes bières préférées, très agréables avec un bon morceau de viande rouge

Pours a hazy amber with a fair amount of sediment Sweet, fruity, bubblegum aroma. Fairly well carbonated with a well balance sweet/bitterness. The taint reminds me of a lollipop. Must be the candi sugar. However it is not as sweet as some triples. One of my favorite beers.

It’s a long tima ago I drank this one but I remember it like it was yesterday: this is a perfect example why a trappist that isn’t Belgian still can be good!

Orange brown with withe head. Ordinary but rather sweetish tripel. Ok, but nothing special.

Bottle. Slightly hazy dark golden with a creamy head. Fruit, yeast, malt, some alcohol and toffee. Descent stuff!

blonde/orange color, nice white head, medium bitterness, light sweetness. I particulary like this one, because, compared to other tripels, it isn’t so agressive tasting...
