On draft at the Dilly Deli
Pours a light gold in color with a huge two inch frothy head. It was served in a Tripel Karmeliet glass as well. Smell is citrus and spice. Taste is light fruit, some spice and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is full and creamy. This is an absolutely delicious tripel.

This one is possibly the belgian tripel ive enjoyed the most. Pours very golden , head is quite big and looks creamy. This one has a huge lot of spices, really over my head to disntinguish them all. Non fermented malt makes this beer quite sweet, but thats not a problem for me. Theres definitely some orange there. Wheat can be felt in the aroma and maybe in the finnish too, and alcohol is quite present, but not a show stopper. A superp beer, if you ask me.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a big white head. Very fruity aroma with lots of sweet spices. Flavour is sweet malty at first. Then the spices arrives and makes this tripel something special. Very refreshing.

Lightly hazy golden straw. Huge thick creamy head. Spicy, malty, lightly sweet aroma - playful. Rich, spicy, peppery flavor. Refreshing and complex, light alcohol notes but evasive. Drinkable: my thirst for this is unquenchable. Lively and full palate, quickly fades to a lingering spiciness.

Taste 7/8 bottle (07 I H) In my Tripel Karmeliet glass. Looks: Caramel, with a nice white foam. Aroma: Orange, wheat, florals. Very nice aroma. Taste: Spicy, orange, plum, nice little alcohol tinge. Creamy, good carbonation. Nice ratio of sour to malt body and hops finish. Oats add a nice silkiness and body to control the sweetness. Very good beer.
