Gold-blond beer, small head. Aromas of fresh fruit. Tastes intense, dense, fruity, some honey, rasp or black berries? Nice finish,long-lasting.

(750ml bottle). Pours a hazy dark orange and has aroma of candy sugar. Flavor is sweet with some bitterness. Slightly bitter finish. A good triple.

Bottle. Clear golden amber body with a fluffy white head that lasts a while. Sweet, yeasty aroma with notes of caramel, lemon, coriander, molasses and clove. Flavour is sweet and spicy and is very similar to the aroma. Dry mouthfeel with a lots of carbonation, nicely hidden alcohol and a mildly bitter finish. Strangely, while being powerful and compelling, this beer is also a little boring and unadventurous. A very nice tripel all the same.

Ködösen narancsos színben mutatja magát kitöltéskor a belga tripla, melynek krémes, piszkosfehér színű habja vékonyan megmarad ill. csipkét hagy a pohár szélén. Édes-fanyar illatából alkoholba mártott gyümölcs (pl. barack) árad az orrba. Kóstolása csípősen, közepes és sima testességgel indul, és fanyar aromája citrusokat, gyantát és kenyeret hordoz magával. Íze édes, gyümölcsös. Erőteljesen száraz és gyantás befejezését az édeskés alkohol vezeti fel, amelyet aztán a fanyar citrusok váltják. A komplex íz- és aroma kavalkád végül egy hosszan tartó, édeskés-fűszeres utóízben marad meg a szájban. Számomra valamelyest elmarad a triplák élbolyától, de így is egy élvezetes, könnyen iható és (nem utolsósorban) összetett főzethez volt szerencsém.

godofsky (262) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 26, 2010
bottle at Bičres et Compagnie. served in its proper chalice, this beer pours a clear orange colour with a white head that quickly dissipates. aroma is very fruity and spicy. very pleasant. lots of cloves, citrus and banana in the taste, the alcohol well hidden. mouthfeel is a bit thin and light for my liking, but overall still a very good beer.

Hazy honey amber, almost biege head. Fruity aroma (surprising for this style). Bittersweet flavour - very nice.

Great body, and fruit, strong taste in order to simulate a classic trappist beer. Of course is missing a real procedure to be a real flamish abbey beer... too industrial. Please I accept comments. Salud !

From a 11.2 oz bottle. Pourned a hazy gold color, somewhat dark for a tripel. The taste was about as expected, but I got an odd -- and not unpleasant -- cedary note on the finish. A good triple in a convenient size.
