Brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels
Style: Abbey Tripel
Buggenhout, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Orange-yellow beer with beautiful, big and blonde head. Aroma is very great and aromatic, lot of fruits, appelsin skin, parfum and tight spicyness.Flavour is also fruity, parfum, spicyness, some honey and caramelly sweetness, drying aftertaste. Alcohol is totally hidden, cool. Medium palate and nice to drink. Complex and very aromatic beer.

My favourite Belgian beer. The oats are an unusual adjunct and they add a lovely smooth flavour. I’m not sure this is travelling too well from some of the transatlantic comments.

Pours a golden yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is yeast with a bit of mary jane. Taste is sweet yeast. Sweet grapes and caramel. Palate is good with a decent finish. Overall a pretty good beer

100 subtle tastes combined in one unctuous liquid, that leaves you wanting nothing but more.

Bottle from SAQ. Pale gold clear pour and white dense head. Aromas like yeast pear spice and... petrol? Taste some petrol and coal notes, like heating oil, over a fairly fruity and peppery-spicy flavor profile. Some light bubble gummy flavors. Glad I have another bottle to re-try.

Poured a massive massive head (overflowed the glass) however it was very sparse, like soap bubbles. Usual wheat beer/hopped aroma. Taste is good but nothing special.

Bottle. Pours light straw coloured with a small white head. Fruity spicy aroma,citrus and acidic green apples. Taste is full of flavours, more malty oriented, moderate sweet citrus and fruits. Lingering aftertaste, spicy and acidic as well, quite a good one for my 1000 rating.

Typical strong abbey Belgian beer. Taste is maybe a little less complex than other beers (Duvel, Chimey etc.), but some people may like it better.
