Clear and light in appearance...moderate sweetness that does not overwhelm. Flavors of pear and white grapes. Dry in finish, not bitter. Pretty standard tripel here, but more complex than the American comparisons.

Orange gold big, foamy white head / Delicate nose of bananas, apples, lemons, and spice / Medium body, aggressive carbonation, some malt oomph, crisp acidity, and good, lasting, semi-sweet finish / Tart flavors of green apple, banana, lemon, orange, caramel, and coriander / Terrific.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was very good.

stark white cotton head rose up and out of the tulip glass quickly, oops. easy, restrained dusty yeast aroma has hints of lemon and wheat. theres a sweetness to the oats, a dry character to the wheat and the foggy abbey yeast throughout.

Sampled from a big 750 ml corked bottle. Pours a golden color, pretty clear not as hazy as I was expecting. Nice frothy head which leaves a lot of lacing on the glass. Aroma is bananas, vanilla and maybe a little grassy or hay-like which remains nice even after the bottle breathes a while. Smooth, pretty easy drinking but with a full enough mouthfeel. The flavor is much of the same; citrus, banana, vanilla with a little bit of a tangy tart alcohol presence. Somewhat spicy flavors which balances it nicely. Flavor doesn’t necessarily jump out at you but it’s very good.

De couleur or et orange, donne une bonne mousse blanche qui disparaît assez vite pour laisser une fine dentelle. Parfum de céréales, surtout le blé fermenté, d’épices, de citron, de gingembre et de résine. Goût liquoreux, alcool très présent, chaud et piquant. Il y a bien du sucre et une finale légèrement cendrée. Un décèle un léger goût de sirop d’érable…? Bouche assez simple malgré la richesse du goût, pétillant et piquant. L’Alcool bien senti réchauffe. Très bonne bière. Importations Bièropholie, bouteille de 33cl, bue dans le verre du brasseur. Une très belle expérience!
