Golden body with a modest off-white head. The nose is somewhat alcoholic and musty with spicy, coriander-like notes featuring. Taste is grainy, with a long acidic finish. Mature mouthfeel.

330ml bottle. Beautiful golden yellow color with a huge pillowy white head. Lost of bubbles streaming from the bottom of the glass. Fantastic complexity in the aroma and taste: clove, banana, herbs, citrus, hay, peach, mango, cereal, grass, spruce, floral hops, and sweetness. The oats and wheat make this smooth and delicate on the palate. A world class Tripel to be enjoyed by all.

750 ml bottle pours a hazy golden color with a beautiful full white head. Aromas of citrus, wheat, and light spices. Medium bodied, very complex with a great balance between hop and malt. Outstanding.

Great tripel! Has more of everything compared to other tripels i’ve tasted. More honey, more citrus, more richness and son on. Very good beer

Fantastic hazy yellow color with a big white head. Lots of spices, flowers and fruit (peach?) in both aroma and taste. My favorite tripel!

I tasted this beer in Louvain, in a place plenty of students of this beautiful city. Cloudy golden pale colour, with a white creamy head that remains for long, long time, almost until the end of the beer. It is a pleasure for your eyes. Fresh and fruit aroma, very intense and complex, spice and flowers notes. In palate it is complex, confirming the nose notes and with a delicious long finish very equilibrated. Full body. I tasted from press (not bottle) and I want to try it in bottle again. One of my favourites.

Sevenlee (375) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - DEC 13, 2011
Pours a very light yellow with a huge frothy white head. Aroma is quite yeasty with citrus fruit and malt. Taste is also citrus fruit with yeast, malt and some spices leading to a modest bitter and warm alcohol finish. Mouth feel is very bubbly initially then softens. Lovely beer.

Pershing (273) - Garland, Texas, USA - DEC 12, 2011
Golden straw color with a nice banana fruit aroma. Not much carbonation with no visual head after a few minutes. Very complex feel on the palate that very few beers can offer. One of the best tripels in the World. The alcohol kicks in towards the end.
