fantastic pours a thick pale golden straw. aroma of juicy pears, cloves, sweet malts and honey taste of apples, bananas and all of the above. to be honest pretty much every sip offered xomething a little different from the last. a complex yet fairly light tasting beer with wonderful aroma. always worth having to hand. bottle : beerritz

mkel07 (1556) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - DEC 10, 2011
330ml bottle. Pours an amber apricot skin colour with a very fine white soapy foam, a little dish waterish. Fairly well carbonated with aromas of plum, peach, cinnamon, pear and spice that waft towards the nose. Looks a little thin in the body but the strong flavour and smooth mouthfeel save this one. Almost spritzy in the mouth with similar flavours to the aroma, soice and fruit. Pops and crackles in the mouth and leaves a long lingering aftertaste that is pleasant. Carries the high alcohol content well. Attractive and eye catching lable. A good well constructed and complex abbey tripel. Well worth the price.

Very complex with a long finish. Creamy, and bold with notes of banana. Less carbonation than most tripels I’ve tried. Solid effort.

Nice golden colour, head disappears quite quickly. Very easy to drink, smooth citrus in flavour, hides alcohol well. Good one!

750 ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden yellow colour, thick white head. Aroma of wheaty malt, citrus fruits and spices. The flavour is malty, peppery, citrus-fruity. Warm and spicy finish. Lively, foamy mouthfeel. Balanced and delicious.

Very fruity, nice aroma, hides the alcohol taste very well. A lot of CO2 made me burp a lot and a head dissappears quite quickly. Very light color. Lively beer. Can recommend for summer, it´s easy to drink.

rodeleeuw (19) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - DEC 2, 2011
Deze tripel is op korte tijd uitgegroeid tot een Belgische klassieker. Erg fruitig en zoetig, en mist daarom toch wel wat pit. Als liefhebber van IPA en Brits bier voor mij uiteindelijk te zoet, wat niet wegneemt dat het een aangenaam en mooi bier is.

This poured a semi cloudy bright yellow color with a white head. Aroma was some sweeter malt, lots of candy and fruit, some light coriander spice and grainy too. Flavor was even better than aroma, very fruity, light hair salon, great balance of spice and fruit while not being cloying and hiding the alcohol very well.
