2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours orange, dark golden color. Has a sweet aroma, some yeast. The flavor had somewhat of a sour flavor, not typical of most triples. It also felt very heavy. Not my favorite.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle, 33 cl. Taste it many times.

Good tripel.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The flavour of this beer is pleasantly soft and is characterized by a delicate bitterness where the balance between malt and hop is based upon a fruity orange taste with a straight fresh after taste (7.5% alcohol content). Nice beer that goes down well.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Light golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Fruits, spice, yeast and some orange peel in the nose. Flavour is fruity and yeasty. Loads of spices and orange. Quite refreshing. Medium bodied. Has some slight alcoholnotes. Ends on a fresh citric and light yeasty note. Nice summerbeer without too much alcohol.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slightly hazy old gold with a large white head. Yeast is the primary feature in the aroma, undercut by some spice and honey sweetness. Sweet, fruity, alcoholic taste, strong and warming. Slightly cloying at the finish.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
11.2 oz. bottle, 01/06/07. Murky burnt-golden orange with large-ish lasting fizzy/frothy white head. Strong aroma of citrus, cinnamon, plum, brown sugar, and a tiny bit of metal. Taste is quite sweet, overpowering subtle ripe fruit flavors and some yeast. Very interesting spice in the aftertaste. Some alcohol, but not too much. Mild mouthfeel, just the right amount of carbonation/fizz. Aside from the aroma, and sweetness, its fairly sublte and very good.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours copper with a white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, And hops. The flavor is fruit, citrus, and yeast. Good beer.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
33 cl. bottle from Total Beverage? 04 06 07 on the bottle. Drank on 8/5/06. Bottle conditioned. Would be clear probably, but there are a TON of floaties - I need to be more careful with the Belgians. Kind of dark for a Tripel - copper. Big 1.5" bubbly white head. Big, thick layer of foam sticks around. Aroma - Spicey, clovey, definitely yeasty. Cider-like character, almost like white wine. Flavor - High up front bitterness. Sweet on the tongue along with some bitterness. Sort of white wine-like in the finish along with some cloves, spice, and some yeast character. Sweet and dry. Palate - light to medium, fairly high carb. Overall - Good tripel, but different than a lot I’ve had. A little darker than most. Not really any banana in the nose or flavor. Dominated by sweetness with a little almost tartness to balance it. Don’t remember what I paid, but for the price of a typical belgian I’d probably buy something else.
