bottle, yellow colour with very nice white head. Smell: fruity, refreshing. Taste: fruity, malty, alcohol, oranges, yeasty. Very nice beer but not that good like the st bernardus tripel from the same brewery, which is a real topper. Very refreshing beer!

Pours a nice hazy blonde with a big, no... enormous mostly tight white head. This head is even bitter than what I’ve come to expect from St. Bernard Brouwerij. Of course this leaves lace, why wouldn’t it. The aroma is just right with a bit of honey, a bit of hay, and some cellar like mineral notes. A bit of alcohol works it’s way in there as well. The flavor is some lemon with some nice fruity & spicy yeastiness. There is a touch of sweetness but generally speaking the beer is fairly dry. The spiciness tends to dominate this beer mid glass but some banana is starting to show it’s self. The 7.5% abv is fairly apparent however that being said I’ve seen much lower gravity beers that express alcohol in a much harsher way.

Bottle from Sam’s. Pours hazy golden orange with gauzy white head. Nose is bready, with sweet pear and orange notes. Maybe a hint of white pepper. Tastes even more sweet, with more candied pear and orange notes. Great palate.

A hazy orange beer with a huge white head. Aroma is yeasty and fruity, note of orange peel. Taste is fruity and spicy, notes of oranges. Some malt taste as well and low bitterness.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden-amber color with lots of dark floaters and a huge yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was sweet sugar, candied pear, bready-yeasty notes, tart and a touch spicy. The flavor was yeasty, tangy and sugary with notes of pear, apple and caramel. The finish was long and tangy with notes of apple, pear, yeast and caramel. Full bodied. Excellent.

Hazy straw/gold color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of yeast, some clove, & subtle fruit; Flavor of slight sweet malt, yeast, caramel, citrus (notably orange), hops, and spice; Finish is slightly sour/tart; Nicely balanced; A good abbey overall.

Bottle pour to trappist glass. Aroma is honey sweetness, malty. Honey is a common theme in the aroma, coloring and taste. Quite a sweet mouthfeel. Great malts, good carbonation. A pleasant tripel.

Pours a bright golden yellow color. Active carbonation throughout the session. Aromas of hops, fruit, and a little yeast. Has a light fruity citrus taste, with some yeasty notes, and a good hop flavor.
