| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 7, 2003 Bright golden yellow, fluffy head that settles down into a patchwork of tight bubbled foam. . . Light peppery yeast aroma full of lemon zest, pineapple, and fresh flowers that tickle the nose and excite the mind. Very spicey mouthfeel, light orangy alcohol, pears and all manor of flavourful spices mix with bubble gum and cotton candy. A fabulous tripel. tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

Can’t remember the last time I had a Belgium brew that wasn’t great NoiZe (1382), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 16, 2006 Aroma is yeasty. Nice colour. Malty and hoppy taste. Hints of various fruits and spices. Stine (1381), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Tap at Barley John’s. Golden and somewhat milky appearance. Crisp and sweet green apple aroma. Hints of almond crème frosting and a sharp tequila accent this at times. Apples also dominate the taste with a tart, slightly sugary affectation. Mild suggestions of sweet pistachios and cashews temper it a bit, but for the most part the green fruit is the single dimension. Palate lacks spark and dials in somewhat outside of the style – bored, slick, and a bit heavy. It’s lost some of its life. Slightly trite, but a reasonable quencher.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 2, 2009 Bottle at the Demervallei, Aarschot, Belgium Lightly hazy, blond body. White head. Aroma of fresh fruit (peach, apricot, ...), white wine, cara-malt; quite nice, interesting, special. Smooth, moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour. HAs an odd winy component in the flavour. Easy drinkable. Lacks some character. Nice, but not great. ilovedarkbeer (1369), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 29, 2008 Very nice tripel. Pours a beautiful golden color with a massive fluffy white head, no hazeyness, and a golden glow when the light hits it. Nose is dry and yeasty with some sugar, and dry wheat. Taste is honey, wheat, bit of sugar, and total dry finish. Very good beer but I like a little more depth in the taste department.
