An excellent brew. The nose is a citrus, floral, honeysuckle blend, pouring lightly golden with an awe inspiring head. The palate is floral honeysuckle, citrus-orange and grapefruit--coriander, and light pine under tones. Remarkable.

Grood fruity beer. It’s a beer i drink one’s in a week. Try the bigger bottles, they are so much better. In my country they have 1,5l bottles, and they evalutated better because of the bottle. A good triple, but if you let me choose, i’ll take the westmalle triple!

Fruity fresh, flowery scent. Nice golden color, with disappearing white head. Lively soda-like carbination. Malty, spice, citrus-lemony yeast, sweet. Tingles tonge, but i think its from the carbonation not the alc%. A nice tripel.

75 cl bottle. Has a champagne like pop of the cork.Pours a clear blond hue with a huge fizzy head. Reeks of sweet , freshly cut alderwood mixed with spices. Nice medium body with a lively, tickley tongue feel. Taste is a fairly sweet, spicey, earthy wood flavor. A very mild hop bitterness to finish. 2003

One of the first to start my love affair with tripel’s. I’ve found better over time in my opinion but this has a that nostalgic taste for me. Sweet, candy sugar like. A regular drink for me, good beer.

Clear golden with large lasting head. Yeasty and malty aroma with peach, flowers and orange peel. Sweet flavor with flowers, peach, oranges with a mild dry and bitter finish. Fantastic!

Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". (From a smaller bottle) Pours clear orange with an off white head. Piney citrussy aroma. Charred toffee, caramel, and phenols all over the place. Phenols dominate the flavor. Malts, alcohol, lemon, and that damn hair spray. Spritzy carbonation. Weird one. This is our second to worse one out of the 26.

11.2 oz bottle poured into tulip- poured transparent tan-yellow, an off white head formed and quietly bubbled away, some lacing. Aroma of yeast and various sweet fruit. Hits the mouth with a medium body, carbonation noticed, somewhat acidic, fruit notes are present but mild, finish with hops kicking in.
