4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: MAY 29, 2003 Strong, malty, peppery, fruity with a slightly bitter finish. A must try for any beer fan and a good introduction to Belgian ales.
Unlike others here I didn't get the over carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
The first initial sip has a delayed spicy taste. Once you swallow it, the spice kicks you on the palate. Another excellent Unibroue product.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: OCT 7, 2003 Loses an impression point for having a really stupid poem on the back label. Complex aroma of vegetables like brussels sprouts or asparagus or something, mixed in with fresh coriander and a bit of marzipan - pretty weird. Flavours start off well with a rich maltiness and strong spices, and a touch of mango. But then it all evaporates in a short finish. rer8: this is ridiculously sweet. honey smacks cereal + extra peanut butter. easy drinkin though apart from sweetness.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
a good tripel(yet another one from Unibroue).
orange color with a big head. has a caramel sugar sweetnees and some citric sour notes.
hops are only noticeable in the aftertaste.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sour, musky and slightly skunky. Bright orange color, temporary robust foam, cloudy, very light Brett. A very good example.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Great triple. I almost fell out of my chair when I learned it was Canadian. Oh Canada... Tickles your nose and your palate. Very smooth, with a bit less flavour than Duinen, Gulden Draak or Kasteel, but nonetheless the best thing that came out of Canada so far.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark golden. Malty and rather sweet. Complex with some late bitterness.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance: orangish, reminiscent of cider or champagne, little head; aroma nicely fruity (orange and dates I thought) but rather weak. Flavor very light and citrusy for a strong beer; body moderate, carbonation strong. Dryish finish but with definite malt presence. Good triple, not great, average for the brewer I’d say.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy orange and fizzy with apparent Brussels lace. This lively carbonated tripple masks its alcohol content well--featuring a rounded spicing and mild bitterness. Too bad the flavor dissipates quickly.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is not the best this brewery has to offer in a tripple. It is a bit more traditional than their other offerings but it does not approch the luxury of Fin Du Monde. Nice though, a bit sour and not too well balanced, but still better than many.
