Super hazy yellow color. Kind of like a banana but a duller brownish color. Huge white foamy head with this pour. Smells like bananas! And wheat! And yeast! Weee. Taste is super smooth. Taste is of bananas and oranges! Some yeast as well! Very delicious. One of my favorite tripels!

Bottle. Poured a hazy golden with a creamy white head that settles to a ring. Aroma of fruit, light spice, and some funkiness. The flavor found fruit, and hints of spice. Medium body and sweet.

Comes on smooth, excellent follow. Had it right after the Chimay triple though and I can see why the Chimay is a slight notch up. A very smooth taste in this one. bottle from Oak Barrel in Canmore

Aroma: yeasty but not particularly strong. Appearance: pale golden colour with fine white head. Taste: medium sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour. Palate: medium body, lively, long finish. Overall: Enjoyable beer easy drinking. one of my favourite styles and this is a good example of the style

(33 cl au Bistro des Bières Belges) Le liquide a une robe profondément orangée. Le nez est appétissant avec un sucré de malt approprié, des épices et des fruits jaunes. Les saveurs aussi intéressantes avec des malts doux, une levure affirmée et des flaveurs fruitées qui vont du citron jusqu’à la banane acidulée. Belle et bonne présence d’un alcool touché par les fleurs. Très agréable. En bouche, le liquide est moyennement dense avec une effervescence modérée et une texture à la limite huileuse. La finale est me plaît beaucoup : une explosion des saveurs avec un alcool chaleureux.

Pours a hazy amber colour with a large lacy head. Sour, yeasty aroma. Slightly sour and spicy flavour.

Pours hazy pale amber with massive foamy white head. Nose is sweet cereal malt, lemon citrous, creaminess and deeper musky fruity odours. Possibly a bit of orange and mango. Mouthful is quite light in body and yet oily and a flavour that starts mild but quickly deepens. Yeasty malt, bitter hops, sour citrous. Bit of toffee/caramel which tends to come through and dominate after a few sips. If I was going to criticise it, needs a bit more citrous hop and fruit kick.

Bottle at Beneluxx Tasting Room in Philly. Was surprised that I did not rate this one previously, but enjoyed it very much. Did not take good notes at the time I drank it (about a week ago) so will be on the lookout to try this one again.
