Bottle corked and caged. A yellowish blonde pour. Smells of typical abbey yeast. Taste is somewhat bland for a trippel. However, it does the trick for the overall. Would prefer other tippel’s

Bottle. A hazy dark gold, nearly but not quite an orange. Big foamy, rocky, chunky off-white head, great lacing. Sage honey and alcohol in the nose. Sweet up front with creamy texture. Nice feel to it with almond, citrus and honey flavors. Quite tasty but subtle. The 9% can sneak up on you! Quite good!

Aroma is full of sweet malt and sweet fruit, also with a bit of alcohol as well. The appearance was a clean golden color., with a nice white head. It’s flavor is a sweet malty, sweet fruit, and alcohol flavor. The palate is a bit tart, with an alcohol flavor. Not the best Triple I’ve ever had, but it’s good.

330 ml, bbe 20/11/08. Cloudy apple cider with a creamy, lasting half-inch head. Body is very active with turbulent, dancing little floaties that remind me of sea monkeys. Aroma is light spicy fruit, white wine, and sugary icing. Flavor is apples, white wine, dried wood, spicy sweet bread, and maybe some citrus peel. Fruity bubblegum-alcohol finish. Medium body is smooth, soft and dry.

Bottle purchased at ABC liquor (Carrollwood, FL). Pours a clear, golden, orange color with a thin foamy white head. Good lacing around the glass. Aroma is very similar to the Val Dieu Blonde with sweetness of grapes, yeast, and mild spices but there is also the ever so slight presence of alcohol. Taste is sweet at first with flavors of honey, yeast, and malts coming through with some hop bitterness thrown in the mix as well. Finishes dry with a nice aftertaste. I enjoyed this one.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours a pretty, clear, golden with a big, creamy and very white head. Small floaties. Aroma is lightly fruity, some oranges, apples and citrus. Lowish carbonation, light creamy. Flavour has good yeast and nice fruitiness. Light citric tartness. Rather run-of-the-mill, but very refreshing.
