Marsiblursi (2375) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 17, 2009
(Bottle) Pours deep golden with a large, off-white head. The aroma holds malty tones of honey, nuts, light caramel and light marzipan. Fruity notes of sweet red apples, pears, canned pineapples, sweet lemons and bananas as well as hints of peppery and clove-like phenols. Light herbal hops and dusty yeast. The flavour is light to medium sweet and near medium bitter with tones of bread, nuts, honey, oranges, red apples, apricots, herbs and light clove. The mouthfeel is clean and light acidic with a light crisp carbonation. The finish is of alcohol, almond paste, honey and earthy herbs. Medium bodied.

Sampled form a 750ml bottle. Darker than the previous Trippels. A nice deep honey hue. Off white head. Big floral nose. Fruity undertones. Full bodied and smooth. Really nice. Easy drinking. Mellow palate with an equally mellow burn. Good palate. I really enjoied this one compared to the others.

Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - JUN 17, 2003
Bottled. Pure, golden clear body, with a rich large fluffy white head. Very good looking beer this. Lovely beer, that perhaps has been under rated thus to date. I really enjoyed this beer. It just lacked the finish a classy palate that would put it up with Duvel and others.

PhillyBeer2112 (2328) - Oviedo, Florida, USA - DEC 12, 2002
Cloudy amber-gold with small fading fizzy head. Spicy yeasty and citrusy aroma: lemon, orange, coriander, and sourdough bread. Zesty and yeasty flavors. Generally sweet profile, with a mild dry finish. Fluffy. Not terribly complex, but pretty good. Alcohol becomes noticeable in the finish, almost fuselly.

NoiZe (2325) - Amersfoort, NETHERLANDS - DEC 7, 2008
Orange, golden colored brew. Fruity aroma. Flavor is fruity, some yeast. Pretty average, but nice.

Indra (2323) - Overland Park, Kansas, USA - FEB 3, 2003
Lightly sugary, sweet, floral aroma, with some melon fruitiness. Medium orange in color with a nicely lasting, billowing, creamy head and intricate sheets of lacing. Flavor has some candi and light brown sugar sweetness, banana, lemon, berry, a slight amount of clove and spiciness, bready and caramel malt and ever-so-faint alcohol. Finish is malty, yeasty and lightly sticky. Medium to full bodied, palate is smooth and a bit thinner than I would have guessed. Pleasant.
