Very delicious brew. Pours a golden color with many floating things. Nice honey and biscuit taste, easy to drink.

bottle - Pours hazy gold with a big, lingering head that leaves excellent lacing. The body of the beer displays loads of fine carbonation and some floaters. It has a yeasty, citrus accented aroma. The flavor has a delicious sweetness to it that’s complemented well by citrus and spice notes. There’s a touch of mild bitterness in the finish of this very enjoyable tripel. St. Bernardus just can’t seem to go wrong.

draft @ theotherroom - golden and hazy with a fluffy white head that disappears rather quickly. aroma and flavor are pretty much identical...sweet honey like flavors and aroma as well as your typical spiciness you get in a tripel. very easy drinking. almost like i middle ground between a tripel karmeliet and a grimbergen blonde

Thanks to Secret Santa for this treat. Pours golden hazy with a medium white head. Sweet, figgy aroma with malty, candy syrup. A rather full aroma with metallic hints. The flavor is strong with honey, creamy dates, alcohol, metallic hints and spicy notes (very light spice). All well balanced with nothing particularly overpowering. Medium round body. Probably the most enjoyable triple I’ve ever had.

0,33 bottle. Pours bit cloudy dark orange colour. Aroma... arome is what I already know from few other Belgians but... I don’t really like it, it’s too strong and unpleasant. And what is it? This is a problem. I can’t describe it. I read through other comments and I think that "candied orange" is very close. You can feel it also in taste. Though, taste is something that fits me much more. Flavour is good mix of light sweetness ans sourness with some spices. Spices are also quite strong in aroma - cinamon maybe? Bitter and bit dry long enough finish. Nice, lively carbonation. It’s quite good, apart this SOMETHING in aroma.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow color with small head.Flavor is a combination of sweet and sour. There are some green apple tart like flavors and a tad of fig and spice. Decent but not totally blowing me away.

12oz brown bottle from A-1 To-Go in Gardiner. Somewhat murky red-orange body with a good inch and a half oh head that sticks around for a while and leaves a fair bit of lacing as it dissipates. Smells fruity, like apples and raisins, with nut and spice notes. Tastes fruity (citrus, apple) with bits of nut and spice. No real alcohol noticed. Lighter bodied than expected, making this a real drinkable beer for the style. Wow, this beer is great.

On tap from Liars club.Nice light golden color with pleasant white head. Light fruity aroma. Flavors of yeast and fruit sugars with a fair amount of compllexity. Length of finish is ok. Nice beer but not the best tripel I have sampled.
