Pours a deep gold, usually a little cloudy as it’s really hard to avoid disturbing the sediment unless you leave a quarter of the beer in the bottle! Yeast, cloves and peppery hops on the nose, with hints of pear drops and a drying alcohol scent. In the mouth it is big and dry, with golden fruit, toffee, more peppery hops and a touch of peaches and cream, all leading into a dry alcohol and bitter finish. Lovely stuff, though a bit over-carbonated.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poars a cloudy gold with a firm head that dissipated rather quickly.
Has aroma’s of citrus and other fruits.
Tastes bitter.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A rather lager-like aroma of unroasted malt and grassy noble hops, but with a fair amount of funk. Clear amber, thick lacing head. Medium body, slightly sweet. Flavor is of malt, candi, and hints of grass. Funked up palate. Not terribly exciting, but a fairly nice departure from the sub-standard Tripels I’ve had in the past. It isn’t too peachy and the alcohol is not insistent.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Thickish palate. Caramelly blond coloured. Nice depth of aromatic tastes. A little bitter and a little dry.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy gold color. Fruit notes on nose and palate. Creamy and rich mouthfeel. Nice drinkability. Finest tripel in the world IMHO.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Slightly cloudy yellow pour, little head dissipated quickly. Light aroma with a hint of spice and citrus. Some apricot, or maybe grapefruit in the flavor (the bitterness of the hops makes me think of grapefruit). Its not bad, but more bitter than I like.
