Bottle from Lygon shop. Great malt-and-yeast character. Aromas of cherries, bread, coriander, and caramel. Taste is sweet, with sour notes, and very long length. Palate is silky, highly carbonated, and medium bodied. Orange, with a frothy head.

great stuff. they’ve nailed it here. like a more vivid, bigger version of duvel. beautiful yeasty aroma - lots of pepper, dough, zesty hops, alcohol, cloves, pear - just really big belgian aroma that comes from treating your yeast really well. firm concentrated pilsener malt flavour then a super dry and complex, peppery, yeasty finish with supporting bitterness and alcohol heat (in a good way). best tripel i’ve had made outside belgium. worth all the $ they charge for sure.

Purchased at "Jungle Jim’s International Market" in Fairfield, Ohio - Alright, this one poured out a hazey yellow brew with a rapidly diminishing white head of foam and noticeable lacing on my glass. The aroma of this one is rich with a mown grass note, and the alcohol is noticeable. Tastewise, this is a rich, full bodied Belgian Tripel brew, although I thought it leaned heavily towards a French Farmhouse ale in its flavor.

A very well balanced triple, has hints bannana, clove that balanced out with a nice hops
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Corked bottle and served in my Big O’ Tripel Karmeliet tulip: Golden hued with a HUGE fluffy head which left excellent sticky lace upon the glass. The aroma has those classic Tripel esters of Belgian Yeast, Belgian Candi Sugar, moderate or heavy alcohol vapours, grains of paradise, clove, cardamom along with a noble and classic grassy hop character. The taste starts slightly sweet and bubble gummy with some honey overtones before the grassy and herbal noble like hops come about. Plenty of over ripened peach and apricot tones as well. Finishes off with a spice forward character. The mouth feel is aggressive and warming, slightly sticky. Well once you get past the initial pungent hops, this is true Tripel and very true to the style. I do not know what some of these folks had in the past but this is a shockingly good Tripel and ultimately scary good. If you are the rare ratebeerian into this style, then you must seek out a bottle of this, you will be glad when you do find one.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ponied up the $$$ after reading eczematic’s rave and I’m in complete ’agreeance’ - this is great stuff. Really authentic-tasting. It certainly looks the part - great colour and excellent head. Fairly hoppy aroma with peaches and tropical fruit like a big Saison Dupont (as opposed to the funkiness of Moinette). Clear, bright, glassy pils malt flavour with more Dupont-style esters, and a little clean booziness, finishing perhaps just a tiny touch sugary. It’s hard to criticise a beer you rate 4.1 but with a bit more hoppiness in the finish this would really kick arse.
4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Hazy pale gold with a rocky white head, producing a spicy grassy aroma with a bit of sage and clove, with some earthy yeastiness. Flavor is full on a light-ish palate that somehow gets stronger on the aftertaste. Nice strong linger for a medium bodied brew. Taste starts blonde and grainy but eccentric grassy herbal hop notes follow, like rosemary, clove, and a light spicy bitterness, finishing with a touch of dusty earthy yeast, light biscuit, and a touch of bubblegum. This brew screams out Belgian Tripel, in a traditional monastic way. It’s delicious yet rustic, classic yet a showstopper. Loved this!
