Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow and airy white head. Aroma and taste are slightly citrus and spicy hops. Flavor has some malty sweetness, but the yeast is most prevalent. Very enjoyable drink.

This is a decent tripel, has a nice color and aroma. It has zesty citrus flavor that lingers for a while. For the price point though I’ve had better

33cl thickened glass bottle (expiry 1/10) into tulip glass. Pours with a vigorous rocky white head. A cloudy golden ale with floating yeast sediments. Nice lacing. Sugary malt aromatics dominate with yeast and spicy hops and a hint of citrus fruits on the nose. Pleasant juicy sweet malt palate with orangey undertones and those warming peppery hops. Nice dry yeasty bittersweet finish. Well integrated with a smooth drinkability. The benchmark Trappist ale for me so far.

bottle - hazy orange beer with a nice white head. Some lemon aroma detectable. Yeasty. Flavour is spicy, refreshing. Some bitterness in the end.

This is a very spicy, peppery and bitter beer with a bit of an alcohol kick that makes it less good than some other tripels I have had.

Bottle at a cafe in Liege, Belgium. Hazy golden body with a fluffy white head. Yeasty aroma with notes of coriander, citrus and sweet malt. Flavour is fresh and spicy. Notes of sweet exotic fruit, malt, clove and a nice alcoholic touch. Sparkling carbonation. A classic.

Great beer, with a nice aroma and the flavor hides that 9.5 % that can make beer taste like malt liquor.
