750 ml bottle in Westmalle glass. Pours hazy pale yellow orange with dense, rocky off-white head and full lace. Mild aroma of grapefruity hops, vanilla, bread dough. Complex flavors of grapefruityness, honey, vanilla tobacco, mild spiciness, with a clean hop bitter finish. Surprisingly light body. Not sure why this is a tripel instead of strong blonde. I wish I could adequately describe how fucking good this is. Might be a new favorite.

750ml bottle poured in a Trappist glass. this hazy unfiltered beer looks like grapefruit juice with a thick head that settles quickly. I smell green apples and tart cherries along with a faint hint of balsa wood. The first taste isn’t really attention grabbing. It has mostly a citrus-like lemon flavor with noticeable carbonation. Upon further sampling I detect an almost German wheat flavor of banana and clove that is well-hidden in the alcohol taste. This isn’t a bad beer but I’ve had much better Abbey Tripels before. This one is easy to drink but doesn’t have the character I associate with the style. It a little bit of a boring beer.

Good reliable tripel with character. Above-average for its style. In fact, Moinette Blonde has session-drinking potential and goes down well. Have tried both in bottle and tap.

Pours a nice deep gold color. Aroma of yeast and alcohol. Strong alcohol flavor, not enough going on with this beer to balance the high alcohol content.

11.2oz bottle. Label is framed in green and reads just "Moinette." 8.5% ABV. Served in a duvel tulip. Nice floral aroma with some light fruits (pears), honey, lavender, and a touch of white pepper. Very subtle aroma, but very nice too. Light golden color with a large three fingered head at first, but it dissipated leaving a thick ring of foam on the glass. Gentle, but persistent carbonation. Flavor at first is rock candy, pears, some subtle spiciness, vanilla, and mild orange followed by earthiness, vanilla/cream, spiciness (nutmeg?), and a touch of alcohol in the finish. Nice body. I love DuPont beers.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Medium golden in color. Large head that lasts. Tart grainy aromas. Some sourness. Dry spiced flavors. Some graininess. Finish is fairly bitter. Not bad.

(33cl bottle, thankfully received from bierkoning) Hazy, golden colour with a huge foamy white head. Dusty, moderately sweet malty, citrus-fruity aroma with a well-rounded peppery spicy and light herbal hoppy notes. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full body with a pleasant, crispy carbonation. Well-balanced malty, citrus-fruity and yeasty taste with coriander-spice; dry, slightly bitter finish with a warming alcoholic touch. Well-rounded, strong and spicy brew.
