| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 23, 2009 One of my favorite beers. Golden orange pour from 12oz bottle. Citrus, spices and a nice balance of yeast. 9%abv gives it just enough kick without being overpowering. Excellent beer! TheDoctor (48), Calgary, Alberta, Canada

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 21, 2009 A really nice beer, very unexpected in the pub i was in, malty but with a very good hop balance, great beer in october when its just a little cooler than normal. monkeychugg55 (226), Joliet, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Pours a hazy orange with a small white head that dissolved rather quickly. The aroma is on the sweet side with clove, banana, and light spices. The flavor is similar with some noticeable alcohol. The mouthfeel is creamy and frothy with some prickly carbonation. Has a slightly warm, crisp finish. Not bad, but I think its a bit past its prime. crackedmachine (85), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Cloudy yellow-orange with a light-medium white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus. Flavor is distinctly sweet and bitter with some alcohol in the finish. The sweetness comes on a little too strong, leaving a briefly cloying taste at the end. Decent, but not among my favorite tripels. Oddefellowe (35), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Golden brown with an off-white head. Tasted notes of young white grapefruit, a mild floral arrangement, and light hops. Highly drinkable, but definitely not abrasive considering the high ABV. Great beer! mcberko (147), British Columbia, Canada
| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Oct 14, 2009 750mL bottle - pours a sharp golden into chalice. Very complex tripel, with malts, citrus, yeast, strong alcohol... One of my all-time favourites. Unibroue has brewed an amazing one here. probstk (1030), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 13, 2009 750 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass. Often consumed before this rating.
App.: Cloudy deep golden with a good tight white foam.
Aroma: Earthy citrus, more fruity citrus, strong yeast and bread dough, lightly perfumed, sweet honey, some banana esters, some biscuit and toast, other, non-citrus fruitiness.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly full, fine effervescence.
Flav.: Quite a bit like the nose, lots of citrus notes, some nice coriander, a bit more of the malts with more biscuit and toast, still some floral honey, yeast/dough are less present; fairly sweet with a touch of alcohol and light fruitiness to finish.
A very lovely Tripel.
