This beer, with high fermentation, has a pale amber colour and a flowery, fruity taste with a harmonious balance between sweet and sour (8% alcohol content). This beer has a thick and vivid froth and strikes by its balanced taste with a delicate bitterness.

33cl bottle into Trappist glass. A hazy orangey-yellow beer with a large dense foamy white head and nice lacing. Aromas of golden malts, yeasts and soft citrussy hops. The taste is fruity bittersweet malts with a gentle spiciness (a hint of coriander in there) and an alcoholic presence. Medium-full bodied with a rich mouthfeel. I find it quite bitter for the style unlike other comments I have read. Another top quality Belgian Tripel.

Bottle. Poured with a large white head, with good lacing. Body was an orange color that was cloudy, and very heavily-particulated with large particles. Nice aroma... lots of yeast in there, with some slight alcohol and citrus as well. Medium-bodied on the palate, creamy texture, and average carbonation. Very nice flavor of an average duration... starts off fairly sweet with the yeast and fruitiness, but actually ends off lightly bitter and alcoholic. Not the best tripel I’ve had, but a damned good one.

Pours a murky gold with lots of floating yeast chunks (despite careful pouring). Aroma shows the typical belgian yeast along with cinnamon, pears, sour dough bread, and candi sugar. Some subtle sweet alcohol noticeable. Aromas are almost perfectly mirrored in flavour (with the exception of cinnamon). The sweetness is a bit overbearing however. I’m not a fan of the huge carbonation either even if it is part of the style.

This is what a tripel should taste like in my opinion. Nice and smooth with not too much alcohol or citrus. Nicely balanced, good color with great head

2008 bottle opened mid 2009. Golden color with thin white that laces well. Lots of still sediment suspended in the glass. Nose is sweet and yeasty. Candi sugar, ripe fruit but not as strong as I would have expected. Taste starts off sweet then the sweetness yields to some alcohol warmth followed bya a slight biscuit/breadiness. Finish is clean.
