Sweet yet bitter scent. Not quite what I was expecting of a Tripel of this brewery yet still quite enjoyable. DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 26, 2008 Pours a pretty medium amber with a little haze. Tall and frothy white head. Nice mix of citrus, caramel, and yeast in the aroma, even a little sour. Delicious sweet, and citrusy flavor with touches of creamy florals/spices which changes into a fizzy and somewhat sour body that fades out with a slightly bitter finish. Very smooth drink with a ton of complexities. mgoy (343), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA

The color is a hazy yellow while the head is a perfect off-white. The aroma is full of yeast, malt and the spices that I associate with a wit beer. The flavor is very smooth and easy to drink. This is a clean, yet full bodied ale. santos999 (318), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Mar 19, 2008 Courtesy of Naka. Pours a mostly clear gold with a nice white head. Wheaty (I know that’s not a real word) and spicy aroma with clove and sweet orange hints. Incredibly complex taste - different flavors developing with each sip. Fruity (grapes and lemons) with over the top sweetness. Finishes very wheaty (again, I know, not a word) with spicy and banana overtones. Bubbly and lively mouthfeel. A freaking classic, and one of my favorite Tripels. TeamTrappist (378), jericho, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 19, 2008 750ml Bottle. Poured a light gold with a small fizzy head. Found it spicy, with hints of apricot, and more sour than other triples I’ve tried. Good carbonation. A nice beer, but I wouldn’t rate it at the level of their Abt 12. efrumtheidiot (190), Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 18, 2008 aroma of ripe red apple, balanced by some sweet malt and some dust. taste is malty and fruity; notes of red apple, champagne, & dry flowers. mouthfeel is bubbly and frothy, with a fairly light body. dry finish, a bit phllegmy with a light sweet-yet-bitter malt coating on the palate. very nicely balanced, some complexity yet still simple enough to enjoy without too much thought. really does have a nice sweet/sour balance. a very nice brew, an excellent tripel. some might call it a bit light and the flavor a bit subdued, but i think that adds to the gentle character of the brew. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA
