2 ounce sample at 99 Bottles, Federal Way, WA. White head. Little lacing. Lightly cloudy body. Melted butter color. Major aromas and flavors include flowers, lemon, straw, black pepper. Primary flavor is lemony-peppery-floral. Sweetness that dries as it goes. Okay. I can appreciate it, just not my "cup of tea"/"glass of ale."

Light amber in color with a thick white head. Nice with light fruity and spicey notes. The alcohol is present and so is a little lingering sweetness.

Pours a pale straw color with frothy white head. Fruity aroma with a decent amount of yeast and spice. Flavor is a little underwhelming: banana, pear, apricot, hint of citrus, a bit of nuttiness and yeast. Palate is nice though.

(33 cl bottle at Haket Göteborg) Clear golden color, small white head. Vinous, almond, nuts and raissins, sweet scent, also alcohol. Sweet sirupy, roasted, spicy taste with sme smoke as well. Caramel and coffee with almonds aftertaste. Medium to spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Cloudy pale yellow straw color with a decent head. Nice head, nice smell, nice taste. Somewhat yeasty. Strong typical belgian smell and taste. Malty with strong alcohlic flavors.

pale yellow, high rate of carbonation, very very traditional Belgian. aroma kind of offensive, not a fan really

11.2 pours a thickly hazed deep dark orange shade. tall, frothy, white head lasts long and leaves lots of heavy lacing. great aroma of sweet apricots, bananas, mild perfume and esters. this is a very full bodied tripel for sure. the heavy oil mouthfeel is fuller than most i’ve tried. very creamy and round through the finish. quite crisp with a thick butterscotch and toffee sweetness. dry bready finish has only the slightest hint of alcohol. excellent.
