| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Sep 16, 2009 A very good example of a belgian triple in the US. I’d really like it if they came out with an aged variant, or one in a 750ml bottle more suitable for aging. kopher (297), New York, USA

nice smooth texture and light carbonation. well balanced and mild. caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 11, 2009 pours a golden amberish hue, a little murky with a really big and thick white head. like many other reviews i did not taste any melon, lots of clove and spice with a strong alcohol centered zing at the end.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Bottle pour.Heavy alcohol in the nose with nothing else really discernible.Nice color on the pour,golden orange with e a somewhat decent head.The best way I can describe this, and no pun intended,is it tastes like a stout.I noticed no fruit like flavors,no melon notes.I did get the clove and spice but not much,heavy malt and yeast flavors.If it had ben a stout I would have rated this alot higher.Bad bottle maybe,but I won’t re-rate this. dagimp (114), Philly, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2009 From a 12oz bottle into a snifter. Tons of thick white head which slowly dissipated. No lacing present. Aroma is of alcohol and yeast. Taste is pepper, yeast, alcohol, cloves and lemon. Between the pepper taste and the lemon taste, this sucker’s got some kick! Excellent representative of the style. A great laying back and sipping beer. My only complaint is the alcohol taste. I’m a bit sensitive to it and it was noticeable in every sip. williamherbert (466), Syracuse, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2009 The appearance is cloudy, bright, honey yellow. Lots of sediment manifesting itself as ribbons floating and twirling into a liquid tornado. Two fingers of creamy white head.
Spicy in the Belgian white way, with some cloves, lemon and orange peel. With agitation it becomes more sweet and more spicy. Really nice aroma.
Sweet at first like orange juice, but then comes in with a tart spiciness. Strong and with a harsh bite. Really very spicy, but also citrusy sweet.
The feel is creamy and a little chewy. Burns on the down: yikes! A pretty good, pretty sweet, pretty strong Tripel. Diggin’ it.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 26, 2009 bottle: pours cloudy amber-orange and no head. nose is like rotting fruit. Taste is quite dry. I’m getting some malts, but not the spice i’m expecting from a triple. This might be overrated on this site. Light palate, fizzy and drinkable, but not that interesting. On the plus side, you barely notice that 9% alcohol.
