Served 2/22/09 @ 35 F in chilled Czech Pilsner. Aroma of hay, herbs dough, leather. Appeared golden hazy. Taste of light sweetness, light bitter, moderate sour. Medium body think texture, lively carbonation.

I live nearby the town where this excellent beer is created. I like the tripel karmeliet in the summer while enjoying a nice barbecue. The taste is a bit sweet with some hints of vanilla, citrus and honey.

Poor white head. Disapointing palate.Strong citrus/honey taste at first, smootly replaced by pears/floral yeast taste. Good, but far away from good typical belgian tripel.

Straight forward, clean, dick-in-the-dirt tripel. Very effervescent and smooth. Delicious.

Bouteille de 330 ml. Nos yeux observe une bière de couleur or-cuivrée et un col de mousse imposant et durable. Au nez on respire des arômes de blé, de fleurs, de fruits (pêche-mangue) sur un fond subtil d’alcool. En bouche le corps est rond avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de céréales fraîches, de levure fruitée et de houblon floral. La finale présente une légère présence d’alcool qui enrobe le fruité. À noter qu’une effervescence visuelle intense et visible. Alcoolisé mais léger. Une bière d’une grande finesse.

In bottle at Brasserie Beck in DC. Pours medium-amber with a thick white head. Fruity flavor with hints of honey and banana. Strong taste, medium-bodied. Well-carbonated yet smooth and easy to drink.

On tap at Uber Tavern. Pours golden with a sizeable white head. Aroma is not too powerful, mostly sugary yeast. Caramel malts and honey in the taste. Nice mouthfeel and finish.

Bottle, 33cl, in Trappist goblet. Pours golden, with short-lasting white head. Off-citrus on the nose, and disappointing on the palate, perhaps under the shop-lights too long. Pale shadow of the best Triples, but I’ll give it another chance again, but for now, a poor imitation.
