Lots of flavour, complex taste. A bit bitter, like a good belgium beer. A famous one!

Fantastisch Tripelbier! Kleur: goudgeel met een zachte grote schuimkraag. heel fruitige geur en een licht zoetige en en fruitige smaak en een lichte honingtoets maar met een bittere nasmaak.

Thomasalias (82) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 31, 2012
0,33l bottle from Csakajósör, Budapest. Hazy golden color with big white pillowy head. Sweet floral, herbal, a bit cheesy odor. Amazing aroma with vanilla, alcohol and some aroma hop. Heavy sweet taste with some bitterness. Medium body with lively carbonation and creamy silky texture. Strong and long alcoholic finish with all the aromas which appears earlier. Fantastic beer, delicious, strong, but not disturbingly alcoholic. I swear, the Belgians work wonder with the grains.

VT (134) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 29, 2012
330 ml bottle. Pours a pale hazy blonde with a creamy, persistent, rich white head. Smells of grains and spices. Taste is delicious: sweet, spicy, fruity...quite a lovely mix. Leaves a lingering yeast, flour and bready taste after a few gulps. Body is thick and creamy. All I could think of while drinking it was "wow!".

bockimstein (159) - New Madrid, Missouri, USA - JAN 29, 2012
11.2 to a chalice. Pours lightly cloudy golden with big white head. Floral hops with some citrus and grain. Taste is sweet with some very mild spice--white pepper? Decent finish. Not as good as some tripels, but very drinkable.

bierbeek (38) - Beek, NETHERLANDS - JAN 29, 2012
33 cl bottle. Gilden colour. Huge white head, containing big bubbles. Heavy carbonation. Strong citrus nose, yeast and some bananas. Taste is a little sour in the beginning. Very fruity. Finish of hops and light bitter. Some alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel. Very Nice beer, definitely different from other tripels.
