Wonderous gold color w/ all kinds of bubbles floating, great lace, head a little lacking. orange, lemon, fruity nose, vanilla, malt...Very elegant sweet/spicy beer. body is perfect, not heavy at all, but vibrant and sexy. Finish fades into spice mud with hop accents. Solid beer, drinks like a feather: easy. SPicing is apparent, but mysterious and not overdone. I’m impressed. jimmack34 (570), Lancaster, Ohio, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 1, 2006 I’m just not a big fan of abbey ales and this one is no exception. Judging from other ratings it’s a good example of the style but not a favorite of mine. BeerBlockaid (548), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 6, 2006 Picked this up at Flame Liqours on US-1/PGA in West Palm Beach.They have started selling singles and their selection is one of the best I’ve seen. ever. Duvel shaped bottle, but poured into a tripel styled glass. Poured golden honey, clean, and crisp. Nose is wash of citric-yeasty with a bit of pepper. Taste is yeasty grassy notes, malts, mild hops and some clove spice, though represented much different than a darker brew. Very smooth drink and the alchohol is well hidden. A solid belgian.

Very good stuff, and better than I remember from our previous encounter in Brugge. Hazy orangey yellow. Rocky persistent head. Aroma of fruit, complex yeast (>1 strain?), spice, curacao. Hint of sweetness in the taste, finish sweet, hoppy and complex.
