Bottle. Pours a murky yellow with a fairly sizeable white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, some light fruits (apple, pear, citrus). Tastes of Belgian yeast, spices, and wheat. Strong mouthfeel, but I felt that the taste was one dimensional. I didn’t really care for this one.

Bottle: the aroma is both yeasty, spicy and herbal, freshly ground black peper, sage, mint, coriander, cardboard, strawberry flavored bubble gum, some hay, very complex on that department, flavor wise it’s malty sweet(banana like) with some herbal hops, weak alcohol notes, weak vinous notes and a nice dry finish, the overall flavor is quite delicate and quite simple compared to the aroma, it’s an easy drinking medium bodied nice triple.

Beautiful clear golden color, smallish white head. Good, but not amazing. I’d almost characterize it as a light tripel, with a crisp finish.

This is a phenomenal beer. It pours a golden color with a small white head. It has huge hints of bubble gum/ fruitiness in it. Very mellow and balanced between fruit and grain tastes. One of my new favorites.

Realized have never rated this fine brew.On tap at PP C Bad. Nice golden yellow color with a small white head. Yummy nose of sweet fruitiness and belgian yeast. Very luxurious in and smooth in your mouth. Some good mellow spice with citrus fruit and malt. Nice very good finish. One of my favorite tripels for sure.

Bottle poured into my Duvel tulip produced a big billowy head on top of a golden yellow head Aromas of wheat and grasses along with a nice subtle spice background and of course Belgian yeast Flavors of spices (pepper, coriander and clove) Sweet malt, and citrus fruit, as it warms there is a light alcohol presence as well A wonderfully light crisp mouthfeel its making me wishes it was summer time while the snow is falling out side A great Belgian I can see why it won some medals I wish they would change the bottle color green glass is not cool. Extremely drinkable will gladly seek this one out again
