750 ml. big 'ole brown Belgian bottle, although this is not a Belgian beer. Corked and caged. No freshness date, but mine is clearly over the hill. Poured out good enough, with a bright-orange copper color. Has a decent enough head, but faded quickly to a thin layer of foam on top of the beer itself. Aromas are of estery fruits, even to the point of rotting apples, and oranges. This beer should NOT taste this way. I'll rerate it when I can find a fresher bottle.

330 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours tiny hazy dark golden / amber with a frothy and fizzy off-white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some thick lacing on the glass. Smell is intense and sweet with pears, green apples, flower nectar, white bread, lemon zest, plums, green grapes, yeasty esters, hay, overripe banana, cloves and coriander. Taste is sweet, tiny bitter, tiny sour and fruity with red apples, overripe pears, lemon juice, white bread, green grapes, biscuits, hay, alcohol, peaches and pears in sugar syrup, lemon zest and hints of metal, coriander and marzipan. Mouthfeel is round, slightly sticky sweet, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with crackers, apples, pears, lemon zest, coriander and alcohol.

Bottle. Dark orange with a small yet persistent head. Aroma is banana, fruit bubble gum, biscuity malt, apple mousse, yeast, some clove and strong orange. What I like about this tripel is that the phenolic side is tempered and the beer comes across rather soft. The mouthfeel is velvety and skilfully balanced. Light sweet, light bitter taste with a warming, orange infused finish. Very good sipper.

(750ml bottle) cloudy gold, creamy offwhite head. Nose of candi sugar, Belgian yeast, creamy, and a bit of alcohol. Taste is creamy, smooth, candi sugar, bits of banana, light alcohol, marshmallow and cotton candy. Near perfect carbonation.

Amber yellow color with orange tones. Fizzy head that settles out nicely. It’s very tasty, some trappist yeast, some mixed fruits. Maybe just little too much sense of alcohol. Highly carbonated.

Light red colour with off white head. Great banana yeast malt aroma. Taste is sweet and malty with a bit of spice and lively palate. A great tripel.

deep orange, small head. fruity with quite a bit of belgian spice. typical tripel caramel as well.

750 ml bottle. frothy cream coloured head, well laced, hazy amber/orange colour. Floral aroma, some banana and bread note as well. Yeasty esters, vanilla. creamy flavour profile, more banana bread notes and other flavours from yeast. has a slight bitterness and a hint of something malted. it is a decent brew but not the most memorable for this style.

aroma: floral, fresh hay, grassie hoptones lead to a bitter sweet finish with ripe fruit and spices.marmelade with cloves and coriander.

Troebel oranje met een witte kop. Geur is licht kruidig, niet erg sterk. Smaak is kruidig (koriander?), zoet van abrikoos en iets meer dan gemiddeld koolzuur. Eindigt met een kruidig vleugje dat net een extra geeft. Aldus Huubs. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
