Countbeer (1686) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - OCT 7, 2010
Bottle: Nice vast off white foamy head. Hazy dark orange amber color. Smell fruits (orange and red fruit), sweet malts, hint of hops. Taste light fruity and hoppy with balanced bitterness and sweet dryness. Taste fruit, hops, bitter, light sweets and spices. Taste no alcohol. Well balanced: low carbo and long fruity dry bitter aftertaste.

YUMMERS. The Aroma is not very potent. The body is a dark gold color. The taste is delicious, sweet malty, and even some notes of fresh baked bread- go yeast. Really liked the brew.

Large cork top bottle shared with a friend. Poured large thick head. Light hazy yellow. Very floral. Kind of flat yeasty taste. I didn’t really taste any alcohol at all. Very nice

Sevenlee (375) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - DEC 21, 2011
Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a creamy off white head. Aroma is dark fruits, yeast and spices. Taste is some bitterness, sweet fruit, yeast and spices leading to a warm alcohol feel. Really nice.

pinkano (56) - CZECH REPUBLIC - JAN 25, 2011
A - yellow with orange tones, not pure clean, little bit of haze S - smell is the best on this beer. It goes with a honey start, then some citrus tones appears with some clove and spiciness. T - pretty much empty start, following by pretty high carbonation, which uncoils bready and honey tones. Kind of Ale taste too. Alcohol is very well hidden in the body. M - higher carbonation then usual, low body and nice semi-dry end D - pretty drinkable, but there are better trappist beers out there

MrHangover (342) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - DEC 8, 2011
0,75 L Bottle work cork. Pours down clear orange colour with a creamy, slightly tanned head. Aroma of spring fruits and yeast. Some honey detected in flavour. Palate is subtle and round. Really well balanced, soft tripel with some raisins in flavour. Great tripel, easy drinkable.

Rando7 (448) - Iowa, USA - AUG 29, 2011
Bottle pours cloudy brownish orange with medium white head. less frothy than most tripels. Aroma malt and spices. Nice flavor of caramel malts, yeast, spices. Seems maltier than most tripels but I liked that. Full palate with moderate carbonation. Finish mild bitterness with moderate alcohol burn.

Kind of a cross between a traditional dubbel and a tripel. Pretty good.
