33 cl. bottle @ Gollem. Clear golden, bubbles rising visible, solid egg-white head. Nose is light apples, bitter esters, light BE yeast, banana, overall still bitter spices & bitter esters do dominate,… Taste is BE yeast, slightly sweet in beginning with light banana & apples, followed by that typical BE bitter effervescent taste, higher carb, esters, bitter spices, bitter bread, fizzy & somewhat soapy,… Not bad but not as good as suggested by the score – largest common dominator fare.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, 330ml from Beers of Europe, Norfolk, aged 5yrs. Gold with white head, lively, with yeast lumps. Strong on the aroma which is of pear drop and banana candy. The flavour has smoothed, there is a rounded light spice note, some floweriness and a plummy sweetness, nicely mellow, the alcohol is there but not harsh. All in all quite decent.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours hazy gold, frothy white head. Moderate spice/pepper, alcohol, a bit of banana in the aroma. Some lemony esters, clove phenols in the flavour, along with a hint of alcohol. A bit less than the median for spiciness in the tripels I’ve tried. Definite warmth along with banana in the finish.
I think out of all beer styles, the tripel is the most effervescent -- even more than regular Belgian blonde ales and saisons -- and this is a good example of that. I’m going to break the "777 ratings" for this beer but all good things must come to an end.
