Aug 30, 2007 Purchased 11.2 FL OZ. bottle at Beverages, & More! in Pleasanton, CA. This is an excellent example of what a Tripel should taste like. Nice estery, butterscotch, fruity bouquet. Excellent, deep golden color. Great head retention for a high alcohol beer. Great malt and hop balance. Fruity finish. This is one of my favorite tripels. Anything from this brewery or Westvleteren is a must try. God bless the Trappists!

Aug 21, 2007 Bottle conditioned, 330ml, aged 5.5yrs. This poured a perfectly clear gold with high conditioning, rocky white head. A beer that ages this well has to be good, subtle spiciness with fruity, peachy background, a faint sweetness and a rich maltiness leading to a lightly bitter finish. very good.

Aug 18, 2007 Updated: Aug 19, 2007Bottiglia da 33cl in un bar a Gavi Ligure, accompagnata con piadina prosciutto crudo e pomodoro. Colore giallo scuro molto pronunciato, leggermente torbida, schiuma un poco evanescente; aroma non molto forte, ma con una nota di dolcino che rimane anche nel sapore che non è poi così armonizzato come nella descrizione commerciale. Buona tripel comunque.

Aug 15, 2007 Pours light golden with a massive white head. Lots of lovely tiny bubbles. Really yeasty aroma at first and not as floral as I would expect. Further sniffing reveals a bit more of that floral character you’d expect from belgian tripel yeast. Lots of good esters. Touch of grain. First flavors are nice and sweet. Lots of banana. Some clove and pepper. Finish is yeasty with some of that pepper. Body is on the full side of medium. What a perfect example of what a tripel should be.
