Style: Abbey Tripel

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

nice foam, complex aroma (caramel, ?), sweet and spicy flavor, full-bodied

Hazy golden color, huge head, rocky; impressive, chaotic perlage. Besides the obvious aroma for a Tripel, this wonderful beer has a very nice hop note. A very good body, with good malt, and maybe a too high residual sweetness (would prefer if hoppier at the end). A very good one!.

Very suprising! I though it was a commercial sub-trademark of the brewery. But ... it was great (not fantastic)! Has a hop and mandarine aroma. Amber coloured with a beautiful head. It’s soft, sweet, fruity and some alcohol flavor. The flavors dissapear very quickly sadly enough, but leave a burning alcohol sensation behind.

Very clear & transparant for a tripel. Good head, good lacing. Pleasant malty aroma. Outstanding taste, very full-bodied and balanced. Slightly metallic finish. The mouthfeel is lush and thick, with low carbonation. Very nice.

Clear yellow-amber with medium size short lasting creamy head. Delicate brief fruity peach, followed by some caramel malt, and fainter yeast and citrus sour aromas. Medium body with a fair bit of action on the tongue and mouth - somewhat Duvel like. A reasonably complex set of flavours, short fruity sweet start, malty and bitter hops middle and bitter finish fading to sweeter aftertaste. I found it quite light and alcohol supressed for an 8.5% tripel. Nice fragrant floral burps too.

Full bodied, great appearance, cloudy golden coulour. Lasting head. Strong spicy aroma. taste is average; just like caesar said. smooth palate, bit alcoholic perhaps.

Surprising triple. Perfect appearance: golden color, slightly hazy. Medium lasting head. Delicious aroma of spices, coriander and grains. Taste is not special though, decent spicy triple taste. Palate also moderate. Comes a bit short for a personal top50 notation.
