Commercial Description:
The aroma of this beer is agreeably gentle and is carried by a discreet bitterness while the balance between the malt and hops relies on fruity accents and a lightly fresh aftertaste.

Hazy orange-honeyish hue, with a big frothy white head, with lacing, yeasty, fruity of candied oranges, sweet pale malt and spicy aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a very sweet of caramel malt, marmalade and candied oranges accents, fruity of citrus fruits, honey note, yeasty leading towards a sweet brown sugar in a mild bitter finish.

Thanks Derek, much appreciated! Dark hazy amber. Frothy beige head creating some nice webbing. Black pepper and spices arise and fill the nostrils. Candy and fruity malt notes as well. Sweet candy fruit flavours with enough spice and bitterness to balance it all out. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel, nice peppery aftertaste, with lots of alcohol warming taking place. Great example of the style, and a great winter warmer. Count me in!

Bottle from LCBO giftpack. Lots of streaming bubbles leading to a huge fizzy head with a mogul like frothy top. Dark yellow - looks perfect in appropriate glassware. Lovely spicy yeast aroma. Medium mouthfeel. Sweet spicy taste. Pepper notes, decent bitterness. Quite bitter as it warms actually. Lots of alcohol but never too much. Very similar to the St. Bernardus Tripel, maybe just not as complex and a little more straight forward. But very very good.

Cloudy yellow or amber depending on the light. Frothy head. Aroma of wet leaves and a bit of citrus. Lively, well balanced flavor with a combination of malts, hops, and yeast.

yellow color with a pretty thick white head that seems to go until the end of the beer. taste is fruity slightly bitter and malty. refreshing, but towards the end the beer becomes kind of flat. not my favorite tripel, and no where near the quality of st bernardus tripel (i dont know the difference between these two beers.) not something id buy again, because i could buy st bernardus tripel.

Pours a hazy yellow with a white head that disapears quickly. Aroma is malty and floral. Flavor is very similar to St. Tripel.
