I’ve been eying this one for a while now and finally decided to try it out. Has a nice foggy light golden color. Smell is full of malty hops. Hints of barley, yeast, and citrus. Has a citrus and malt flavor. Not too carbonated. Some yeast in the flavor. A little bite in the end that is nothing else but pleasant. Overall this was a good choice.

33cl bottle into tulip glass. A cloudy golden ale with a decent white head and nice lacing. Spicy warming yeasty aromas with orange peel predominating. Full bodied with complex flavours of honey malt, oranges and spicy/perfume hops with a very satisfying dry bitterness to the finish. Very well integrated with a smooth drinkability despite the ABV. I have not tasted a better Belgian Abbey ale than this.

One of the best tripels ever, no doubt. Fruity, spicy and yeasty, full bodied and just world class.

Pours crystal amber with large white long lasting head nicely lacing. Refreshing spicy and yeasty aroma with a sweet malty flavor combined with a complex spicyness. Full body with a sweet and rather sour finish.

On tap @ Deluxe. Pour was gold with 2 fingers of a nice white head. The aroma is that of an orchard plentiful in apples, strawberry, and some citrus. The taste starts off with a lot of fruit and follows through with a nice spicy/yeasty finish. Overall mouthfeel is pretty light but not flimsy. A very easy drinking beer and quite refreshing!

Tasted 4/1/09. 750ml bottle. The first pour was relatively clear with a golden hue. Layer of white head. Aromas of apples, melons and citrus. Belgian candy sugar yeast and pepper. Medium to full bodied with bright effervescence and big citrus notes. Candy, chalky and perfumy. This is how a tripel should taste! Peppery with a faint cherry nuance. The second glass was activared and produced a slightly hazy hue. Spicy chalky finish with just a kiss of hops. Mild bready malt character. This is the style personified!

Bottle. The aroma started sweet, but then it gets dominated by some sour aromas which are well hidden in the background. Also some light aroma of apples. The head is normal large, white and creamy, the duration is long. The body is clear and orange. The taste is very nice, started light sour and spicy, later on it gets sweeter, the finish is also sweet. The body is creamy, light to medium with a lively carbonation. A really nice beer!
