3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. White lasting head. Golden unclear body. Aroma of green apples. Some bitterness but general impression is sweet and fruity flavor.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hazy orange color with a dispersive head and very lively carbonation. Aroma is very clean with sweet hops, raspberry, slightly tart with lots of complexities, this is a great aroma. Flavor has detectable alcohol with unripe cherry notes. Yeast, clove, spice and coriander are also detectable. Finishes with a slight burn of alcohol with a profound bready feeling. This was a totally unexpected delight. Thanks Indra!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 3, 2007 November 2007. On Tap @ Beer Bistro. Golden amber body with a good sized head. (3+) Sweeter and less dryly alcoholic profile than many triples in both the aroma and flavour. Light caramel notes throughout. Aroma is a bit more traditionally tripleish than the flavour which leans more towards the malty character of a dubbel. Average palate. Quite pleasant. 7/3+/7+/3/14-15 - 3.5
<P>January 2004. Bottle. Hazy golden amber body with a fluffy white head. Bit of yeast in the aroma and flavour, sweet slightly spicy with a hint of a flavour I described as honey but wasn’t. 6/3/7/3/16 - 3.5
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUL 20, 2005 Nice light brown color with a foamy tan head, this has an awfully sweet aroma, strong malts with some fruitiness. It’s light, yet syrupy in the mouth. Sweet malt tastes, little else, execept for a dash of bitterness on the sticky finish. I prefer the dubbel and quadrupel. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Stockholm Beer Festival 2003)
Golden, a little hazy. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is fruity, sweet, some herbal, but also something almost artificial. Very mild.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy deep amber colour with small white head. Sweet aroma with hints of berries. Malty flavor with some sweet notes. Very thin palate. Different from most other tripel’s.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
So I bought this Belgian together with La Trappe official glass. Poured and orangey tea look matched well toffee / sweet cherry aromas. Nothing spectacular just nice. Hmmm, I must say that it tasted more complex than aroma would suggest. Pear at start transforms into mid roasted malts with specific for Belgian ales finish. A bit earthy, garden like.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: JUN 18, 2007 750mL bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy light amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is
moderately yeasty (mold/basement), lightly to moderately malty (light grain),
with notes of alcohol, perfume, candied fruit. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, watery texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Quite boring.
