emerica56 (575), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Mar 16, 2008 Dumped it inot a tulip glass since it was all that was available and thie is not a beer to drink out of the bottle. There is thick foamy head with a cloudy orange color and some suspended particulate matter in the liquid. The nose is full of honey, oats, and roasted barley. You can really distinguish the belgin yeast on the nose as well. the initial flavor is full of orange zest on top of honey and biter hops and spice. The booze is well hidden initially but not in the finish. The finish is full of lemon zest and pure alcohol. Hazmatt (363), Virginia, USA Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. Light, straw colored, with a light haze, huge head. Aroma is very complex, sweet, malt touch of spice. Flavor is also fairly complex, malty, light fruitiness with hints of honey and spice. Touch of yeastiness. Smooth and silky, refreshing. marton504 (10), USA Mar 10, 2008 Pours very light with nice head. This tripel has very fruity flavor with many enjoyable spices. One of my favorite triplels. Bontus (291), Waasmunster, Belgium Mar 5, 2008 Updated: May 12, 2009Bottle. Poured into trappist glass.
Pours pale blonde with a white head.
Aroma of hops in the smell, wheat citruspeel aroma.
Bitter taste, creamy palate.
Dry aftertaste.
I’m a bit disappointed... SamGamgee (1396), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA Mar 4, 2008 Updated: Jul 28, 200833cl bottle. Clear orange-gold with a creamy, lasting head. solid aroma of banana, yeast, spice, and alcohol. The flavor is spicy and yeasty with a lot of alcohol, which makes it pretty dry. I’m digging the dryness; makes it very drinkable. Medium body and smooth carbonation. This is very easy and nice to drink, Tripel isn’t my favorite abbey style, but this is pretty tasty. (3.7) rerate: Draught at The Trappist. Huge fruity pineapple any yeast aroma. Fruity yet dry flavor. This really stood out this time. Great beer. Arayaga2 (933), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 4, 2008 Golden and clear with minimal white head. Aroma is cidery sweet with a hint of spice. Intensely fizzy mouthfeel makes flavors hard to place. Perhaps this covers taste flaws. This product is really nothing special despite it ratings. jporter (2), Netherlands does not count Mar 4, 2008 Great tripel grain beer, best taste comes when drank in the original glass. White head with a beautiful golden base. I simply love this beer with its nice fruity taste. The beer tastes quite light aswell! Recommended to all! fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 2, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of Belgian yeasts, wheat, banana, spices, some faint apple and pear in the background as it warms. For me, the palate was a spice bomb. The base brew, while strong and solid in the mouth, objectively well constructed, lacked any real character for me. Instead, unearthly amounts of spices were added to give it some flavor. Maybe the spices covered up whatever flavor there was under there, but all I got out of it was a pretty bland beer loaded with spice. Not bad, surely, not weak at all or anything, but nothing stunning.
