Tulip snifter from bottle aged around a year. A: slight pine, slight lemon, slight lime, sourness all around. App: deep golden hue with 3 finger frothy, white head. T: slight alcohol on the front with a belgium yeast sweetness. Sweeter on the back with slight breadiness on the back. P: medium bubbles, finish is long and consists of slight honeydew and alcohol.

Not showing any of the flaws from other raters. Dark gold with an orange tint. The nose shows Belgian yeast along with some banana/esters. Medium bodied tripel, brioche and coriander palate. Soft and round mouthfeel. Medium finish.

12 oz. bottle purchased Dec 2011. Something is very wrong here. This beer tastes like a cross between a tripel and a Flemish sour, with an emphasis on the sour. My guess is that this batch is infected, because I seriously doubt this was intentional.

Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Lots of carbonation. Belgian yeasts, bananas, vinegar and sour apple...slightly floral too. Get that Belgian yeast flavor first followed by a pretty potent lemon/orange tanginess. Definitely odd. Mouthfeel is incredibly sour. The lemon sourness lingers in your mouth. Strange flavors but not a bad beer.

Bottled. Hazy Golden. Sweet yeasty nose. Taste follows that add alcohol. Average. Mine says 9%.

Pours a hazy dark golden color with a large, frothy white head. Aroma is of Belgian yeast, some fruit and some alcohol. Fair taste, kind of bland, some yeast, dark fruit, alcohol, citrus. Something is off.

Deep hazy golden coloured body with a honey glow and a thin off-white head. Aroma of yeast, honey, flowers and a touch of sweetness - very strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong yeastie flavour with some wheat, coriander seed, curacao and a thick malty flavour all noticeable with some apricots and apples dancing on the finish and a little complexity at the tail end. Overall, a nice tripel with a lot of sweetness, some pungent flavours and good complexity. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia camping at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

UPDATED: APR 28, 2012 The color looks like orange juice. Very orange and bright - almost radioactive. The smell isn’t too pleasant and the palate is very tart and bitter. It has prominent hops flavors throughout sips but mostly it tastes like citrus and orange. I like it better than the Unibroue Don de Dieu.nuts,

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a large, off-white head. Aroma of yeast, light fruit and spices. Flavor is light and similar to the aroma. Unremarkable but drinkable.
