11.2 oz bottle. Pours a very urky orange with a large, go figure, foamy white head that disipates but leaves a nice slick of white floating on top of the orange liquid that lies beneath. Tropical fruit, bananan and pineapple mostly, dominate the aroma with some yeasty notes and a slight touch of raisin. Medium bodied with very lively stingy carbonation and a slight metallic aftertaste. Flavor of bread, yeast, slight pepper and orange. The guy on the bottle is probably smiling because he’s wasted.

From bottle. Pours cloudy dark golden with a thick white head. Standard tripel aromas of yeast, banana, spices and citrus. Flavors include spice, caramel and floral hops. Very nice.

750 ml. bottle. Pours a thickish quickly deflating head, lovely lacing, color is pale yellow but cloudy...nose is belgian yeast spice, some cardamom, no hop....taste initially of carbonation then mild sweet malts with accompanying banana tones, finishing with mild hop bitterness, sweet and bitter well balanced....mouth feel appropriate to style.

A decent beer, but disappointing when put next to the 12. Has most of the characteristics of the BT, but in subtler terms. Creaminess, wheat, and other vague goodness with perfect carbonation level. Recommended, nevertheless, get the 12 if available, as in my experience it is only about 10% more in price.

Pours a pale hazy yellow with a two finger creamy white head. the nose is earthy, Belgian, musty, sweet, light alcohol, no spice. The flavor earthy, lightly sweet, slightly off tasting, musty, malty, candy, light alcohol. The palate is crisp with a light bite.

The carbonation is in perpetual and random motion in this dark golden cloudy ale, with its thick white head. The complexity of flavors, sweet, meadows, bitter, even sour, keeps me interested and coming back. A real fine trippel.
