Very Pale and light. Nose has a bunch of sugar, light alcohol, and wintergreen, beautiful tripel flavor profile with a cotton candy fade, somewhat sweet. This is the best tripel I have had to date...excellent...pairs really well with spicy foods

Cloudy golden body, nice head retention. Strong citrus aroma, apples, spice. Malt is citus, lemons/apples, bananas with strong notes of toffee/ butterscotch...light bodies. Innovative and enjoyable tripel. Finish is somewhat acidic, although still citrusy.

In the mix of mass tripel tasting in Brussles this one held its own. A bit more of a toffee caramel flavor than most tripels and a littel less of the spicy sharp flavor and mouthfeel.

Nice, but doesn’t strike me as particularly "tripel-ish". Lovely peachy gold. Nose is very yeasty, not too spicy. Light fruitiness and yeastiness continue in the flavor, very mild spiciness. A bit raisiny, some sugary sweetness. Creamy and smooth.

330 ml bottle courtesy jerc. Hazy bright orange colour with a mostly lasting fzzy off-white head. Strong citrus, lightly spicy, and light alcohol aroma. Caramel, sweet orange, light raisin flavours with a dry, light alcohol finish. Medium to full bodied with a very dry finish, slightly prickly mouthfeel.

Cloudy orange with quite a few floaties. Nice carbonation level. Appealing nose, with notes of apple and pear. Rich malts (yeasty dough) with a subtle sweetness (vanilla, cookie). Some bandaid phenols. Mild bitterness and some spiciness in the finish. Pleasant tasting and enjoyable.

750ml bottle. Very attractive dark golden color with a massive egg white colored head that is fully retained. Aroma is nicely hoppy with a nice dose of yeast. Light floral scent as well. Really nicely restrained hop bitterness with some wonderful yeast flavor and just a bit of candy sugar. This is very enjoyable, somewhat affordable, and highly accessible beer.

orange colour, fine creamy head, beautiful lace, very yeasty, bready aroma, spicy, full-bodied, lot of carbonation, strong bitterness and, unfortunately, the typical banana notes of the St.Bernardus (which was absent in the aroma) shows up in the finish but is never disgusting like in the other products of this brewery - by far the best of the St.Bernardus
