Apr 30, 2009 Hard to think of something better. A pleasure through and through. I only wish I could buy this by the case without putting me in the poorhouse.

Apr 30, 2009 Bottle poured to glass. Aroma is of fruity esters like apricots. Yellow opaque brew with white head. A bit of alcohol in the palate. Tingly carbonation on the tongue. Effervescent!! Maintained fine head for entire glass. Fermented very dry but sweetness remains.

Apr 25, 2009 Updated: Aug 28, 2009This is THE tripel. Ignore those who say ’not the best out there...’. (as if there are any others ’out there’) A slight sweetness, very bitter and strong. Difficult to love this drink, perhaps, but delicious for those whose taste buds have yet to be corrupted by newer, sweeter tripels. At its best, I think, a couple of years old (much drier).

Apr 23, 2009 Hazy and active. Yeast and spice in the aroma. Malty to start, then the spice and slight hops kick in, citrus and spice lead to a lovely dry finish. This one’s for Steve, April 2009. This is already one of the world’s great beers, now it has eternal sentimental value as well.

Apr 22, 2009 11.2oz bottle. Pours hazy orange. Head is like none I’ve ever seen. Literally took 20 minutes for it the subside. Maybe the bottle was too warm. Lacing is godlike. Spicy aroma, mixed with some darker fruits. Dry, yeasty finish, good carbonation.
Probably my second favorite trappist behind ABT12. Very good beer.

Apr 20, 2009 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.
