75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a golden yellow with one-finger white, foamy head. Reasonable head retention. Aroma is sweet, syrupy, candy sugar, yeast, and malt. An interesting grain aroma is present as well. Flavor is candy sugar, grain, syrup, and a slight spiciness at times. Very carbonated. One of the best tripel style ales we have experienced.

Biere de couleur Or avec un bon collet non-collant. Arome de zest d’oranges, raisins, bananes, alcohol, gomme balloune. Gout tres salé, avoine, bananes.

Pours a hazy straw color from the bomber with a thick off-white head. Very yeasty, almost skunky, to the nose with a frothy mouthfeel and a sweet candy sugar taste. Improves as it warms, especially once the alcohol becomes noticeable on the finish. My favorite Tripel.

Good beer with nice thick lacy white head, decent retention. Clear golden yellow color with consistent carbonation. flavors of clove banana with a punch of alcohol at the finish. Refreshing drink for a high gravity beer

Vibrant orange gold with big white fluffy head. So much fruit in the aroma. Vanilla definitley there, sweet malts. Dusty hops. Such a full mouthfeel. Sweetness first with biscuit and summer fruits, pithy, honey. drying out quickly with a crisp green lingering bitterness. Alcohol shows up briefly. Cracking.

I love strong belgian beers! Damasc in the aroma, along with orange peel already got me going. The colour was quite nice, some opaque golden to orange. The carbonation, though, didn’t got me up. The foam was nicely white with little beige on it. And the flavor, mamma mia, all those fruits, citrics, little banana, the wheat esters, the oat esters, the oat, and the sweet barley touch. That beer made my day!
