Bottle, pours cloudy copper. Banana, citrus, dough aroma. Nice taste, it has a sublte dough like banana citrus sweetness complimented by a well timed dryness. High carbonation. Subtle citus vinous type notes linger in the aftertaste. Alcohol not noticeable. Very complex and hard to describe. This is quality.

Cloudy yellow/goldish pour with a big head. Somewhat sour taste with a subtle yeast flavor. Temperature is important, keep it on the low side of the advised 8-14 degrees, otherwise the alcohol quickly takes over.

Apperance; light yello, Hazy with a big white head. Aroma; citrus, fruits and some yeast, pretty complex, but not as the Westmalle Dubbel, I like that much much better. You can’t tell that this is a 9,5% alcohol beer.

Pours a hazy golden liquid with a big head of foam. At first the alcohol is well hidden and its hard to believe its 9,5%. Very pleasent taste, But after a few sips the high alcohol % in this beer takes over a bit. Maybe it was the temperature that dropped in the beer. But it draws down the points slightly.

Beautiful pour, golden with semi yellow/goldenrod head, nice bubbles, not too carbonated, strong but good yeasty feel, no too sticky, bread-like, light hop, alc hidden, semi sweet, nice beer, id buy again, raw beer, beautiful lacing, its the stereotypical GOOD tripel...

Enjoyed via 750ml bottle. Pours a clear yellow, not quite as light as the industrial beers, but not as dark as a pale ale. Head is outstanding, high, fluffy, and long-lasting. Initial nose is one of spiciness, with additional touches of malt and a light hop aroma (and I do mean light). This beer is a classic on the palate, a true example of excellence in the style. Notes of pilsner malt sweetness, estery fruits, and a spritzy and dry finish dominate.

Bottle: Clear golden colour, with a big head. Aroma of citrus, fruits, flowers, and yeast noose in the end. Flavor is almost the same, with a werry nice balnced with the swet maltynes, and the typical belgian fruity/yeasty mouth feeling. A well done beer. Medium to full body, nice medium fruity/citric fiish. Werry nice!

Nice tripel but it tastes alot of alcohol. I could have used a better blend of other flavors. Even still, I held higher standards for this one.
