Bottle bought in Beerplanet, Brussels. Faint smell of spices and goodness. Taste follows the nose with alcoholic spice and estery goodness. Well carbonated but creamy in the mouth. I enjoyed this one

Bottle at the Swan and Rushes, Leicester. Served by the inimitable @sewedsouls. Great Tripel. Very fizzy, very fluffy in the mouth. Tremendous drinkable quality, but full in T flavour too. Liked.

330 ml stubby bottle, poured into a tulip glass at home. ABV 9% Deep golden colour on the body, with little but continuous activity in it and a big, almost three fingers tall, snow white head on top, with good retention and even better lacing left behind, around the glass. Aroma is fruity, with yeast notes, sugars and a bit of a hop aroma too. Taste follows the aroma, quite fruity with the high ABv being very notable but this actually works for the beer. Medium thick body, a bit too much carbonation. Overall a great tripel, I wasn’t expecting it to be that good when I bought it. Pleasant surprise.

Blonde dorée trouble, mousse crémeuse et persistante. Assez bien maltée, goût de miel sans être trop sucrée, arrière-goût légèrement houblonné et légèrement caramélisé.

fles 33 cl kleur: goud, met een enorme schuimkraag. geur: weinig geur, smaak, prikkelend (veel koolzuur), hop, zuur, fruit, bittere nasmaak.

The best triple beer i ever drunk! Beautiful appearance, pale golden orange with big, creamy white head, aroma is with citrus, hoppy touch, and the taste is smooth, silky, good carbonation, notes of yellow fruit, great equilibrium of sweet and bitter of hops.

January 2011. From a 33 cl. bottle. Poured hazy orange with an offwhite head. Aromas of malt, yeast, citrus. Some hops on the finish.

Bottle 75cl, a cloudy copper orange beer with huge head and nice lace work. Aroma is malty, sweet, with grain and caramel touch, very fruity on orange, lemon, apricot, coriander, good body. Pleasant triple with over riped fruit touch and shy hops profile.
