joshwilfong (537), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 15, 2006 nice dark golden appearance with a full white head. flavor finishes with a disappointly bitter after taste, far below average for a belgian triple
Eructoblaster (1266), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 5, 2008 Bottle - 330ml. Hazy amber body with average carbonation and a decent off-white foamy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with some fruity hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Taste is well balanced and carries plummy notes. Ends with a warming bittersweet finish. Enjoyable. thenick (583), North Bellmore, New York, USA Sep 29, 2008 Sample @ BBF ’08, Boston. Pours a hazy golden orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma is fruit (banana stands out), spice, and a bit of yeast. Flavor is fruity up front, dissolving into a wonderful spicy note and a slightly yeasty/acidic finish. It was slightly offbeat for a tripel, but it was nice. Fukito (595), Buenos Aires, Argentina Sep 21, 2008 Bottle, september 08. Slightly hazy orange color with some golden hues and a big, bubbly white head. Creamy, lasting, lace leaving head. Flavor is fruity, with a spicy touch and some acidity with some earthy hops at the end. Medium to light mouthfeel, crisp but a bit watery, dry finish. Really drinkable, alcohol well hidden. Aroma is a bit of fruit, some spiciness, a sea-side like note also. Nice, refreshing, easy drinking tripel that could do with a bit more body. goozen (763), Leiden, Netherlands Sep 6, 2008 Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange coloued brew with an fine fruity taste with an bittersweet finish. clingman71 (172), Centerville, Ohio, USA Aug 29, 2008 Draft @ Monk’s, Philly. Pale cloudy golden color. Spice and fruit on the nose, a little yeasty. Flavor is a little hoppy along with the fruit(apricot?) and spice. A little more dry and not quite as malty as some Tripels. Pretty full-bodied without having an overly heavy mouthfeel. I had never heard of this before my trip to Monk’s, but am glad that I tried it. Very good.
