A golden Tripel-style ale. A little lighter in alcohol, but not in flavor, than Westmalle, and more drinkable. It matches the best of Belgium.

bierkoning (7776) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - JAN 8, 2003
Aroma has pepper, honey and cinnamon. Sweetish, hopbitter, yeasty flavor with honey, citrus and apple. Some strange dustiness. Just a bit thin for a triple, nevertheless a good beer.

jaymobrown (1445) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 15, 2002
Has a nice clean aroma and taste. Notes of various fruits with a sweet-tart play on the tongue. Some spice and pepper thrown in.

Flavor has a hint of lemon with some biscuity, malty back end notes. Very earthy and green. Mouthfeel is decently thick, not too spritzy. Quite refreshing.

beerslayer (753) - New Jersey, USA - MAR 22, 2003
Now this is a different Triple. Fruity malty and yeasty. Lots of lingering yeast in glass. Finishes very dry.

3fourths (6215) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUN 7, 2006
UPDATED: AUG 8, 2007 33cl bottle, age unknown
Consumed at ’t IJ, Amsterdam, May 2006

Cloudy saturated orange color, perfectly presented white head. Punchy, sharp hop note, leafy even, bbut too sweet, as is expected in Holland I have learned. Excellent sharp alcohol and yeast nose, mildly grassy as well. Good tripel, with solid sharpness, but too much sugar.
