Small bottle. Clear golden pour, light fluffy head, though with big bubbles. Light malty aroma with apricot, with a light maltiness and a bit of sweetness, followed by a touch of hops. Refreshing and pretty good, but not to the level others have rated it. I assume I had a less than optimal one.

33cl bottle at home, but I had this one sooo many times. Great, white head. Yellow sparkling beer. Lots of citrus, spices in the nose, what an aroma! The taste is so soft, so sweet, so well-balanced. This is my favourite triple. One of the first beers I was a fan of, and even after drinking a lot of great craft brews, this one is still standing!!

Pours hazy gold-orange with thick white head. Subtle aroma of floral and fruity hops. Flavor is very well balanced with a lot of subtle flavors including fruity hops and bready malts. Nice carbonation makes it pleasant to drink. Not as "bold" as a lot of strong beers I like but this is one I could come back toto over and over.

Beer in Chimay glass... Aroma: Strong orange peel, coriander, very floral, cloves, citrusy and grassy. Appearance: Hazy light yellow/amber with a fluffy white head which reminds me of the puffy clouds seen on that picture perfect sunny day. Taste: Sweet and sour citrus fruits, wheat, quite hoppy....reminds me of taking Westmalle Tripel and Schneider Hefe and blending them together. Palate: Bit cloying but not aggressively so. Quite the alcoholic finish, pretty full bodied. Balance is OK, carbonation is perfect. Overall: Not bad, a bit sweet for my tastes though and probably a bit more boozy than I’d like. That given, it’s amazingly complex.

750 mLbottle in a snifter. Well deserving of it’s place in the rankings! Have been looking for this one for a while and finally found it in Florida. Excellent aroma, flavor and palate.

tried 20 dec brussels sprouts bar singapore Golden , cloudy. Good white head. Smells a bit like a wheat beer. High carbonation very frothy in mouth. Many complex flavours. Semi sharp apples grapes comes to mind with a lingering wit beer taste. Perfumed oranges at the start. Interesting. Mouth juices flow throughout and you are left trying to analyse the flavor notes. Overall I think I’m a brune kind of guy but the more I sit drinking this the more it challenges your taste buds. Needs to be sampled.

Heerlijk aroma van meloen, appel en citrus. Prachtige volle kraag. Smaak gaat verder dan fruit, met meer kruiden als gember en basilicum, met lange droge afdronk die goed in balans is.
