Bottle poured a clear yellow with a large lasting white head. Aromas of straw, yeast, pineapple and light spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, yeast, fruittiness and light spice with a crisp dry lingering fruity finish.

750 ml bottle into chalice, bottle code 38596. Pours very hazy golden orange color with a nice 1-2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of apple, pear, apricot, grape, honey, bread, herbal, floral, candi sugar, earthiness, and lightly spicy yeast esters; some slight cardboard but its not too noticeable. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/malty notes. Taste of apple, pear, apricot, honey, grape, bread, herbal, floral, candi sugar, earthiness, and lightly spicy yeast esters. Lingering notes of light fruits, bread, honey, herbal, grass, candi sugar, earthiness, and light spicy yeast esters on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of fruity/malty notes; with zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly slick and lightly crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Tripel. Very nice balance and complexity of fruity/malty notes; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

33cl bottle. Cloudy golden color. A drinkable but not outstanding tripel. Some floral notes, medium bodied and drinkable.

Decent aroma, appearance, taste and palate, overall memorable. Rated from the bottle.

Yet another exemplary Belgian tripel. Poured with thick towering head into tulip, aroma is honey, vanlla and bread. Mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, taste hits the mark perfectly. Yummy!

Bottled. Poured cloudy, milky golden with a colossal cap of yellowy-beige head. The aroma picked up a blend of floral notes and white spices over sweet pale malts and pear meat.. lots more artificially-sweetened fruits and Sweet Tarts as it warmed up. The flavor found pale and fruity malts at the core, with Sweet Tart-like fruits and lesser white spices throughout.. tart finish with fruit skins over pale, grainy malts. Medium-bodied and tangy through the palate.. too much carbonation.. overall OK, but no real great components.

25.4 oz bottle. Clear yellow with white froth. Nose is yeast, banana, toffee and grass. Medium body a touch sticky. Taste is sweet banana, bitter grass and toffee. Clean and simple but lacking depth.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2013 Serving: from bottle--purchased at Full Throttle Bottles. Aroma: citrus/floral aroma. Appearance: large, frothy, white, initial head with no lacing and mostly diminishing longevity. Cloudy, yellow body. Taste: leathery initial flavor and yeasty, slightly sour, grapefruit-like finish with long duration. Palate: light body, dry texture, fizzy, champagne-like carbonation and metallic finish. Overall: a complex beer, but it’s not that great.

Clear yellow in colour with frothy white head. Fainty bready yeasty aroma. Taste is sweet , but kind of watery. A disappointing tripel.

Bottle shared from Deanso. Pours hazy straw with a big white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, apple and sweet light fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
