WBF Richmond: Rich coriander nose. Clear yellow, thick head, constant streams of carbonation. Coriander flavor with apple notes underneath. This tasted more like an "Imperial Wit" than a classic tripel. Decent if not true to style.

Bottle - enjoyed immediately across from the Mannekin Pis while watching the France/Mexico World Cup game. Dry mustiness, rose and barley malt aroma. Clear yellow color with giant white head. Sweet peach and apple malt flavor with lightly dry finish. Low acidity. One of the best tripels - don’t know how I missed having this for so long.

33 cl bottle, at La Estaminet, Singapore. Served in a chalice; perfect temperature. Appearance : Poured a beautiful clear blood-orange colour, finger-sized head, not excessive carbonation. Aroma : bread, citrus, floral, banana, alcohol, Taste : Intense, sugary but not excessively heavy. Deceivingly alcoholic ! Palate : Very easy on the palate, lovely fruity notes.creamy, lively and full of flavour. Tried this for the first time, and it’s easily one of the best beers I’ve ever had ! Just have to watch the hidden alcohol kick...it’s very unexpected !

I have had this beer in the states and just recently tried it in Belgium. It has been really tasty in the U.S. but the flavors are even more pronounced in its home country. This beer comes in a huge glass and is served with an incredibly plume-like head, white in color. The aroma is bread, wheat, and cereal, a resinous hop character, doughy, and spicy. This beer tastes like cake. The carbonation is very crisp and sharp but the beer is smooth. The body is full and the finish is long. A must drink.

330 ML bottle in Thailand. Beautiful beer in an even more beautiful glass. Nice, tight head holding fairly well. A little yeasty, no alcahol feel(wich is nice). Very nice full, well rounded body. And there are alot of fruits in the aftertaste. This beer is a little light but still it has that richness.

Slightly hazy golden pour with a monstrous frothy white head. Aroma holds tons of wheat and oat grain, lemon zest, spicy yeast, and dough. Also some nice candy sweetness on the nose. Flavor is, definitely, a top notch tripel right off the bat. Awesome complexities in the yeast character, with dough, spice, and sweet fruit, along with refreshing grain presence. Palate is light and crisp, obscenely drinkable; you get could really drunk really fast on beer this tasty and light with an 8% ABV. One of the best tripels out there.

Hazy peach pour with some floaties and a huge white head. The aroma is lemon and orange peel with some wheat grain, doughy yeast, spice, and fruit cake. The flavor is delicious dough with an excellent balance of acidic lemonpeel and wheat grain. The palate is rich and chewy with an excellently full textured mouthfeel and a crisp dry finish.
