Holy crap! This poured, from the little 330 ml bottle, an explosive HUGE foamy light tan head. It had to be the biggest I’ve ever seen, but it eventually faded away to almost nothing. The aroma was mostly fruity with some floral undertones, and the colour was a cloudy medium gold. The taste was again fruity with some caramel lurking in the background. A truly marvelous beer.

Bottle 33 cl. Apperance; Light golden, hazy with a small sparkling head. Aroma; hoopy, caramel and a bit sour. Flavor; light hoppy, and a sweet caramel taste. Lots of sparkling and taste, very good!

Bottle at Six Acres. Nice aroma that I can’t describe. This is a really sweet beer. Slight taste of brown sugar & spices.Fruity. Nice malt taste. Not too hoppy. For an 8.4%, the alcohol is masked very well.

Pours golden with decent head that disappears fast. The aroma is very peachy, & floral scents. Taste is floral with light fruit taste. Seems a little light & thin for the amount of alcohol, which is a good thing. In fact the alcohol is very well hidden.

Traditionnelle tripel de haute qualité. Très bien balancée et raffraichissante. Offre de meilleures saveurs lorsque pas trop froide, on peut alors plus facilement percevoir les notes de fruits (poires) et de houblon.

Pours clear golden color with a small foamy white head. Aroma of sweet vanilla, clove, slightly rubbery banana, and a lemony citrus. The taste is unbelievably smooth. The clove sweetness comes through huge with a nice bitterness to balance. A subdued fruitiness to it. Not really clear what fruit, but kind of artificially. A great balance to it. Lacking in carbonation, but very quality body. A spicy semi-dry finish.

Draught @ Cafe Duvel. Bottle. Golden, big white creamy head. A little of everything really. Sugar and spice and all things nice... citrus, vanilla, caramel, orange... all in perfect balance. Very smooth.
