Appearance: Pours hazy orange, bright breakfest tea with the drop of milk like colour, carbonation of body is mild and gentle. head is dreamy in colour, medium to large and frothy, head has a fair lacing, head is mostly diminishing, in body colour there is something like the addition of a juice from wildberries or strawberries. Beer is medium to full bodied.
Aroma: Cookie, yeasty, fresh fruits, milk, honey, coriander, a sweet aroma of flowers, a hint of alcohol that is decreases to a minimum and very well build in considering it’s 8% content. Aroma is very complex, hints of grains, wheat grains, wood, strawberries, fructosis, a hint of hoppy nose but weak, the same with the carbonation, a bit bready (white bread), very weak barley malt aroma, a hint of grapes, butterscotch, brown sugar, very mild, light, gentle.
Flavour: Strong, full bodied, you can feel alcohol warmth on palate, texture is wattery but the taste is syrupy like. Very distinctive grainy taste on palate, like bread, alcohol is very well build in and is present with its warmth on the back of the palate and the throat, while the fruity taste develops on palate and in nose breath, hoppy nose, aroma is sweeter than flavour, bread accid, very intense, full and rounded, cognac, the yeast, fruit and sugar content lower than in Grombergen Tripel but have the bready taste is stronger and more decisive. Light bitter, light accidic and light sweet. Generally, very well balanced and rounded taste. Finish duration is long. Hoppy nose.

Bottle, 75 cl. Beautifully rounded tripel, with decent and fairly long-living head. Off-golden appearance. Fruit, hops and yeast on the palate and predominantly yeast and hops to the nose, with sweet and fulfilling mouthfeel. Commendable beer.

herbs, citrus, golden, white foam, light sweetness, medium bitterness, medium sourness, full body, average carbonation, long finish,

12 oz bottle served in a tulip. Pour was a dark copper with two fingers of slightly off-white head. Nose is candied sugar, apples, pears, grapes, and Belgian yeast. Taste is Belgian yeast, apples, and a bit of sugar. This beer comes off much light than I expected. It is quite tasty, but the fruit salad, also known as the aroma, is my favorite part.

Pours muddy yellow/brownish with a big frothy head. Aroma is sweet, light malt and yeast. Taste really good, it’s sweet with banana hint and tasty malt flavor, no bitterness. Lasting sweet/spicy finish. Palate is high/lively carbonation, really good smooth mouthfeel and medium bodied. A really enjoyable Trappist.

Buona! Si comincia a salire nella produzione Trappe con questa bella triple, classica nel suo stile, ma con quei sentori di malto e frutta che la rendono particolare. Una bella schiuma chiara e corposa, anche se non molto persistente. Sempre piacevole da bere, scende benissimo nonostante il grado alcolico.

Dark colour with little head. Sweet, fruity aroma. Sweet, fruity strong taste.
