Definitely not a Chimay. Very fruity aroma and the first sip is all champagne. Good color nothing spectacular head-wise. Had a very carbonated mouth feel that actually caught me off guard. Very good but I’ll take a Chimay.

Beautiful deep gold color wit ha tight, fizzy white head. Sugary sweet fruit aroma. Flavor is much the scame with a light citrusy acidity. Mouthfeel is active. Very good.

Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with strong carbonation and stronger head. Sharp aroma with citrus and sour tones. Very nice overall; not too oily, semi-sweet. A little bitter and carried notes of citrus from the aroma; sweet. Very nice.

Clear gold/yellow. Slight malt and candy sugar aroma and tastes that includes more bitter citrus and a touch of powder surgar than a Westmalle or St. Bernardus. Smooth, rich, flavorful.

Bottle 0,33ltr: The Tripel with some citric taste and the famous sweetness.

Pours an apple-cider gold with a lovely head and nice lacing. Aroma is dusty & sweet, with a strong alcohol presence. Taste is surprisingly - quite wheaty, definite lemon notes here, green olive & pimento, great lingering aftertaste of alcohol, grape leaves & hops. Body is appropriate and carb is good. This is definitely a tripel of the sipping variety. Unusually savoury taste.

11.2 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy pale orange with lasting flat white head and lotsa lace. Lemony yeasty bready aroma with a hint of soap. Honey lemon sweet fruitiness with medium lingering tobacco bitterness. Medium body and carbo. Pretty standard triple but not bad.

Bottle - very light in color - cloudy. Very good - somewhat sweet and strong, but doesn’t taste as strong as it is. Somewhat overcarbonated.
