A lot floating around in this tripel. Pours a golden yellow and yields a large billowing head. Mild and very balanced.

330ml bottle. Light, cloudy amber with a smooth white head. Softly spicy, yeasty, lightly bitter, and overall very balanced - no flavors stick out. Bright palate. Overall, drinkable and refreshing.

Nice cider like color pour, with a white bubbly head and a nice cloudiness as expected. Taste and smell is flowers and citrus fruits with malts and yeast appearent. Nice mouthfeel, well balanced taste makes it very enjoyable.

Always a reliant tripel. Robust with grapefruit-like palate and clove-like tones. Light and cloudy but not watery at all. Not too sweet, nice head. Just a little less carbonated than I like.

Aroma has some sour orange and some lightly spicy yeast. Appearance is mostly translucent with some fleckiness and such. Nice fluffy head with some good carbonation. Flavor has some definite yeast spice, with maybe a little vinegar and apple flavors, almost like a sour ale in this respect, but not so sour. Something else, maybe some apricot? Palate is lively and even a little creamy. Certainly a good beer, but maybe tries to do a little too much. The Quadrupel is much better.

Pours cloudy golden-orange with lots of big suspended bits of yeast, thin white head with moderate retention and some lacing. Aroma is estery and spicy but also has distinct notes of hand soap. Flavour is on the bland side, similar to the nose but mercifully without the soap. A relatively long, inoffensive but not terribly interesting finish develops honey and what might be mild citrus. Not bad. Not great. Certainly nothing to write home about.

Pours a slightly dull orange with a thin layer of foam with decent retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is quite unique - very sweet honey and that damp grain aroma that I tasted in the Pater 6... Honey-malt taste, more damp grains, a creamy sweetness, and no hops to speak of. Lingering watery orange-juice finish. Odd. Good carbonation and crisp body. This beer reminds me of honey-stuffed crumpets or english muffins. Grain and honey notes dominate, and an odd creaminess tries to redeem. Unusual.
