first trappist ale I’v ever had. It’s pretty good. very smooth and fruity. It has a nice color as well as alot of sediment that seems ’hang’ in the beer. Very nice brew.

zvikar (1205) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - AUG 12, 2009
UPDATED: MAY 29, 2010 Rerate: 33cl, thanks Tomer, pours honey color with a nice cream head, lively aroma of cheese, light acidity, apricot and loral notes, dry flavor with malt, fruits, wine, finishes herby and alcoholic. Medium bodied From Bottle, deep orange with nice tan head, aroma is quite perfumy with some marmalade, cheese, apples and clove. Flavor is quite alcoholic with caramel, butterscotch, apples, banana and lots of yeast in this brew. finishes bitter, body is medium. OK triple.

Blond with a big creamy head. Flowery fruity aroma and taste. There is also an odd side taste.

csbosox (1188) - Prairie Village, Kansas, USA - JUL 9, 2007
K24J2 bottle code. 750ml bottle that has been in my cellar for at about 2 years. Served in a small chalice. Aroma is yeast, vanilla, lemon, honey, light caramel, with hints of apple. Copper colored with a small and fluffy head. Well carbonated. Huge mouthfeel at first. The initial taste is honey, fruit, yeast, floral followed by a rush of alcohol and black pepper that cleans up the beer. Overall a really nice beer. On a side note, I got a good dose of what I can only describe as their "house" taste, which is redolent of cobwebs, mold, and dust, but not in a bad way.

13/08/2011 on tap @ La Trappe Koningshoeven (2011-380)

Little cloudy orange to amber coloured beer, creamy white head, bit stable, adhesive and nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: some caramel, yeast, fruity, some grapefruit, toasted malts. MF: light carbon, full body, some toast, citrus and fruity, alcohol is pretty noticeable. Aftertaste: caramel, bitter hops, citrus. Not the best tripel I ever had.

Scopey (1179) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 2, 2011
Bottle from Nelson wines. It pours orange-amber, with low carbonation and a rapidly dissipating white head. The nose is hay, grass, pear drops, melon, strawberry, yeast and spice. The taste is hay, grass, sweet pear, red apple, melon, peach, orange, lemon sherbet and cucumber, with a fruity-slightly spicy finish. Too sweet for my taste.
