Hazy blond with a tall white head. Aroma of flowers, yeast, spices. Taste is sweet, fruity, but ends dry and leaves a pleasant alcoolic aftertaste. Very well balanced beer, you don’t really feel the alcool it’s in there.

Pours golden blonde with a big white towering head. Aroma is malt, grain and wheat, even a bit dusty. Bit disappointing as it lacks something to counterbalance all the graininess.

Appearance is golden brown with minimal white head. Aroma is of spices, yeast and some malt. Flavor is very distinct in spices with an added pine like flavor that really set this one apart from other Belgian beers.

MarinaMarket (160) - POULSBO, Washington, USA - AUG 2, 2011
Great pour...super thick white head that wants to stick around. Clings to the glass for dear life! Absolutely clear golden with tremendous carbonation. Aroma of fruit, earthy, alcohols, musty, and malts. Taste is mild for a tripel, but extremely well balanced. Malts are subtle. Medium bodied appropriate for style, and a nice sweetness to counter-balance the 8% ABV. Tasted from the bottle @ 68F.

33 cl bottle (8,4%), BBE 11.03.13
Very fresh aroma with citrus and orange peel and hints of spices. A bit too much CO2 on mouthfeel when sipped right after pouring. Flavour is dryish with orange peel, caramel, citrus and some spices. Citrus steps forward while the end of glass is approaching. Lovely tripel, not too sweet and hides alcohol very vell. Paired fine with belgian fries + dijon mayonnaise.

rougeau13 (1067) - Texas, USA - JUL 31, 2011
Clear golden with a moderate foamy white head. Aroma of pale malt, Belgian yeast, some spice and citrus, and Heineken....weird, but not enough to do damage. Yeast and pale malt dominant in the taste; sweet with a slight bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied, a touch dry, and a touch fizzy. Good beer, but the the Heineken-like aspect of the aroma doesn’t make me crazy. At least there isn’t any of that in the taste. Good beer, but kind of dull as far as tripels go.
