Wow, whata great tripel. Pours a perfects golden with a nice big head that stays around for a while. Amorma is spicy with hints of yeast and fruirt (banana and some lemon). Taste is great and well rounded and balanced. The grain is mixed well and allow the beer to be smooth yet robust. A very nice beer. Highly recommended

This beer is all but perfect. It’s got a lovely colour, it holds a lovely small head well. Its taste is well rounded, with a nice amount of spicyness. Definately recommended.

Bottle. Poured with a fairly large, white head. Dark yellow, hazy body with very good lacing. Very nice aroma - average yeast, with hints of various fruits (definitely some banana in there). On the palate, the body feels medium-full, with a thin-yet-slick texture and lively carbonation and a nice, even finish. Great flavor, lightly acidic and bitter, but with the fruit and yeast present as well, and a good duration after you’ve finished sipping it. A great tripel that will always remind me of Belgium (it was the first beer I tried there)... very glad it’s available in North America.

Tap at Sunset. Really enjoyed the rich fruity and spicy notes in the aroma. Taste did not keep these notes up though and kind of died on me. Ok though overall.

33 cl. bottle. Pours a thick, rapidly shrinking white head, over a slightly cloudy, yellow (SRM 5-10) body....nose of spice (coriander, allspice, slight clove), fruits (lemon, banana), bubblegum.....taste initially slightly sweet gradually evolving through the spice flavors mentioned ending in medium bitterness.....mouth feel is medium. the overall spice is present, more sweetness than some, carbonation is higher than I like. That complaint registered, I like it.

I bought this because it was advertised as a "98 point Rate Beer" beer. A decent Trappist beer with a smooth taste. Not the best in the world, but worth the money.
