330ml bottle. Purchased a Tops Liquor, Tempe, AZ. Pour is nearly clear golden, with lots of floaties. Head is moderate, white, eventually leaving a ring. Aroma is yeasty, fruity and sweet. Taste is sweet fruit, and bitter hops. Finish is bitter.

Clear gold pour, white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with a fruity note. Flavor is yeasty, sweet grain, honeyed notes.

330 ml bottle - pours clear and very transparant golden ale (pilsner) alike colour with superwhite head. Aromas of pale malt, some yeast and alcohol. Supersweet body with silky mouthfeel, taste of malts and alcohol warmth glowing as from the mid to the finish and beyond. No bitterness... too sweet to be a decent tripel.

Pours a hazy orange with a nice white head. Aroma is slightly boozy when it gets warm, but before then, it is mostly citrus and stuff. Taste is slightly sweet, with some lingering sweetness in the aftertaste. Some bite and something akin to bitterness. Still, this is pretty smooth and drinkable. Not a bad tripel, but this does not approach greatness.

Had a draught version in the top bar of Delirium Tremens Dec 2011: almost enjoyed it! Would have scored higher if I’d reviewed this on-tap version. But here’s the original review: The second beer in ’a random Belgian tasting evening’ held with my wife. Posh brown 33cl bottle, best before Apr 2011, drank mid Nov 2010. The beer was poured slowly into a Duvel glass, sadly half way through the pour a huge globule of sediment flew out of the bottle inpregnating the glass with large lumps of floating yeast and whatever friends it had lurking at the base of the bottle. The beer was a cloudy, dull, old gold colour with flotsam taking its time sinking to the bottom of the glass. I watched the white head disappear quicker than I watched the beer clear. The smell was of strong yeasts (the glass was full of it, so what did I expect to find?) and alcohol, nothing else. I couldn’t wait all night, so I started to sip the beer as soon as I saw a clear portion at the top. The beer is just a sweet, alcohol carrying Vessel, disappointed. No depth of flavours, no uniqueness or redeeming features at all. It could have been a can of any super strenght lager that alcoholics seem to favour (apart from the look of course).

33 cl bottle @ Beersel.

Pours golden color with small head. Aroma of fruits, yeast and malts. Flavor of fruits, malts, caramel, spice notes and yeast.

Poco cuerpo pero mucha personalidad, se entiende porque ganó el premio a la mejor pale de abadía en el 2009.

Sweet and woody aroma with a clear appearance and a small head. It has a sharp taste with an abrupt finish.

33l bottle. Good white head. Clear golden blond pour. Noticeable alcohol but a decent beer

Taste is sweet and candy like with a high alcohol kick, very clean on the palate
