Brewed by Brasserie de l’Abbaye du Val-Dieu
Style: Abbey Tripel
Aubel, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

hazy golden hue, well carbonated, average ester nose, well balanced flavor, not much complexity, average for a belgian

Cloudy golden with a thick but fading white head that leaves a thick lacey cover on my glass.Fruity esters abound in the aroma, spicy yeast, some alcohol. Big sweet malty flavour with spicy highlights, apples. Thick mouthfeel. A very satisfying tripel

330ml bottle. Served in a crystal tulip mug. Pours a beautiful hazy golden with a thick and creamy white head, and some lacing. Aroma is typical for a triple. Flavor is good and also has the typical triple characteristics, but with a bit more bite and sharpness. Considerable carbonation. Complex and enjoyable. Not the best, but I’m a fan of triples and I like this one. $2.79 at Total Wine.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2006 Proberly one of the best triple that I have tasted. Very impresiv smell and taste. Ritch spicy and at the same time smooth flavor. Bit of fruit, citrus and underlying hoppy bitterness. If you ever get the change, try this triple you will not regread it!!!

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours hazy golden with a large white fizzy head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, belgian yeast, and spices. The flavor is smooth for 9%, spices, fruit, sweet, citrus, with an underlying hoppy bitterness in through out this brew, very impressive.

Bottle at home. Golden with a large white head, good lacings, with yeast. Aroma heavy malty (honey). Flavor heavy sweet. Full body, normal carbonated, strong in alcohol.

Hazy golden/orange coloured brew. Nice malty aroma and taste. Sweetness all over, but not too much. A bit spicy.

750ml - Nice thick head over hazy, gold colored liquid. Tight bubbles. Slightly sweet to the tongue, and the balance seems to be off versus other tripels. It’s good but there are better ones.
