Flavor is big and malty, with lots of different fruity flavors, cardboard and candi. Palate is nice smooth and full. Not bad, but may just be a tad past its time. dchmela (1476), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2008 Tasting at Backus’ Backyard Bash. Hazy orange pour. Caramel brown sugar sweet malt aroma. Taste is malty, slightly thin and candy sugar sweet. Sweet tangy end to it. I thought it was a little too sweet, but still solid. daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 29, 2003 Very cloudy orange. The nose is spicey and fruity with hints of banana, some yeast - fresh and candyish. The body is quite sweet and very yeasty with a spiciness in the corners. Fruity with banana notes and sweet malt towards the end. A bit sweet, but a good straightforward triple. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 4, 2008 Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". How many ways can you write tripel? Triple, Trippel, Tripel. Tripple? No, that’s way to crazy. It looks like just three ways, triple ways. Well what a long tasting. Here’s the last one. Clear amber orange pour with a white head. Aroma of vanilla, caramels, grain, toffee, and clove. Flavors are grain, toffee, sweet alcohol, red fruits, citrus fruits, aged notes. Too sweet and too alcy. That seems to be a theme here.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2003 Pours very dark for a tripel. Almost as dark as HOTD Golden Rose. A nice, tight head that left nice lacing. Strong notes of lemon/orange, clove and maybe some coriander. An odd sort of tripel, but a pretty good one. The alcohol is present but not overbearing. A pretty good tripel.
