4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Poured into a tulip glass. Dark golden color with a quarter finger of head.
Smells like honey, wheat, orange and pear.
Fruity flavors: orange, nectarine, little apple. There’s a malt structure through it, but it lies just beneath.
Crisp and bubbly, tending toward a "champagne" texture of beer.
Not really my style, but I enjoyed it.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle into a Duvel tulip.
A: Pours a mildly hazy golden-orange color. The head is a foamy four-finger white shade. It has an amazingly fluffy texture, but very little lacing.
S: There are a lot of typical notes I expect of a good BSPA (such as apple, pear, and candied sugar.) But I love how the wheat gives it an unbelievable smoothness to it. Grassy and funky qualities helps provide some rock-solid depth to it.
T: The first thing I note is Unibroue’s typical yeast profile - which I can never fully discern on the tongue, however I can note that it provides a grassy, sweet, yet vaguely salty opening. The faint candied sweetness bleeds into the midtaste, before a finish of wheat and even some mild hops envelop the tongue. It’s deep ’enough’ to be interesting, yet simple enough to go down easily. After all, isn’t that what you want from a tripel/BSPA?
M: The lush, creamy softness at first sip turns into a vaguely dry astringency on the back end, but ultimately it’s fairly sweet and syrupy - this quality also seems to conceal the carbonation slightly. There isn’t any trace of alcoholic qualities on the feel or flavor; you could even say it drinks like it’s 6%.
O: It’s a bit like La Fin Du Monde, but with wheat. Enough said, really.

Bottle. Fruity banana-peach, yeasty wheat, and spice aroma. Cloudy honey gold with a moderate white head. Flavor follows the nose - banana-peach, wheat, and spicy Belgian yeast. Medium body, lively carbonation. Alcohol very well hidden.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a dehydrated urine color with a pretty white head. Strong aromas of clove, white pepper, spices. Wheat. Pretty freaking spicy. Taste is similar - spicy yet dry, with a lingering spicy aftertaste. Wowza... Too much spice for my tastes.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured from 12 ounce bottle. The aroma is fruity, caramel, sour milk. The flavor is fruity, apple, caramel, cardboard. This bottle must be oxidized. I will have to re-rate this beer.
