330 ml bottle pours a wonderful rich blond brew that has tons a depth. Aroma is light a fruity and refreshing sent. Appearance is a great hazy golden pour with a white head. Full rich and very smooth flavor accents this beer with an amazing palate. This is a beew that has something for everyone, rich full bodied brew that packs a punch of flavor.

Mine’s in a green bottle - unlike the photograph here. Light orange w/ a really thick head. Tons of spices in the aroma and the taste along with some citrus too.

Please purchase this in the smaller format, brown bottle. The larger green bottle can get sun-struck very easily giving this brew off-flavors. Aromas akin to Fruity Pebbles but a flavor profile of extreme pleasure and balance.

Sweet, malts, not a lot of bitterness or hops. Bit of banana and cloves, not as much as some other tripels. A big smell and taste of bubble gum. Nice to have one of every once in a while, but not more than one in a session.

750ml Bottle ; Pour is very light, a touch cloudy golden hue. Very modest white head - it retains itself only very lightly around the ring of the glass. Aromas are grains and barley with a hint of sweet florals and honeydew - This brew is impressive! I’m so happy to be drinking this one right now - I haven’t been impressed with the Tripels. Until now that is. Wonderful palatability on this one. Grains, Malts are fused with sweet honey floral notes, citrus, while a lingering hop bitterness is present yet finishes not bitter but light and sweet. There is a lively carbonation in this bottle - Excellent!

Had this beer on tap at Monk’s in Philly. This beer was awesome! Unbelievably drinkable on tap for a triple. You could not taste the 8% at all. Full body, yeasty flavor with a bit of floral in the nose. Perfect summer/post-run beer. Great to kick things off with!

Bière 3 grains: froment, avoine et orge, de 8.4% d’alcool, beau collet de mousse, blonde, corsé, douce et fruité, goût de levure un peu trop important...saveur ressemble à la fin du monde.
