Nice aroma very floral. Notes of grassy hops and light caramel malt. Great head retention. Nice yellowish gold color hazy. Flavor is quite tart bitter, nice alc burn. Notes of citrus banana, orange. The spice adds a nice touch. Very good tripel.

Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Cloudy yellow with a mostly lasting, large white head leaving a good amount of lacing. Lightly malty and heavily hoppy. Burnt notes, flowers, perfume, citrus and rubber. Initially lightly bitter developing into a heavily bitter, long finish. Medium bodied, dry, somewhat astringent, with fizzy carbonation.

Bottle shared at a tasting. Thanks!
Pours a bright orange colory with bubbly head. Smell is yeasty, gummy, and band-aid like. Taste is gummy bananas, belgian yeast, and is fairly spiced. Really just a lot of spice and didn’t do a lot for me.

Bottle. The beer pours a beautiful hazy yellow colour with a thick head! Standard tripel aroma, fruity and yeasty. The flavor is not as complex as one would think. It’s a dry beer with fruit and honey. Lots of alcohol in the aftertaste.

750 shared w/ my brother. Pours a slightly hazy nectarine color with a thick foamy 2 finger head. Aroma of some yeasty apple with citrus, coriander, and caramel. The flavor is surprisingly dry. A sort of papery hop character. Lemongrass, extreme fruity esters, A slight clove character to the flavor that almost makes way to a hint of anise. Very bready. As medium body, though still light enough to be refreshing.

Bottle. Hazy yellow color, lots of sediment at the bottom, big whipped egg white foamy head. Mmm, Belgian beer. Flavor is bread, bananas, raisins, yeast, hints of spice and pepper. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Medium bodied, lingering mild alcohol warmth on the back of the throat. Dry finish. Really can’t go wrong with this stuff. Yum.

750 ml bottle. Aroma is spicy, hints of banana, and yeasty. Pours gold with lively carbonation, small head. Flavor is similiar and sweet. Strong notes of pepper. Alcohol gets stronger with each sip. Medium mouthfeel, long finish. Decent.
