Pours a cloudy light orange with a large white head. Aroma is quite fruity (light fruits) with nice spice, also yeast. Yummy flavor of fruit and spice again, licorice, yeast, a little rye too. Nice bold flavor doesn’t leave me yearning. Good funky, citric-acid aftertaste. Rich mouthfeel, upper-medium viscosity. One of the best tripels I’ve ever had, simply. Near the apex of this style. Overall, excellent plus.

Thanks to Peggy for the hint! Frothy head that reminds me of beaten egg whites. Spicey aroma with hints of apple, yeast, and sourdough. Very nice flavour without all of the added spices. As a hophead, I liked the bitterness. This will be a repeat purchase!

Thin Frothy white head, had to hold back on the pour, [large goblet wine glass]. Very golden slight amber color. Aroma, OK, gotta say it... kinda like cider at first, very fruity. Then some spiciness. Very champagne-y, light, airy, lots of carbonation. Very complex. Clearly one of my favorite Trappist Tripels! Maybe some banana? did i say complex? some hop bitterness spiciness... I definitely get a nose of apple. interesting complex aftertaste good stuff, cant remember how much i paid for this, dated almost 1 year old...

330ml bottle. Huge frothy deep and dense white head sitting atop an amber to copper hazy base. Strong spiced fruit aromas waft from the glass, sweet and inviting. Well carbonated and lively in the mouth with a warmth that spreads through the mouth and you can feel the strong alcohol content.

Pours orange amber with a slight chill haze which slowly dissapear while the beer warmsw up to serving temperature. The head is fluffy white and long lasting with excellent lacing. A fresh spicy and malty aroma. Flavor is also spicy with a faint orange background flavor. Long lasting and warming aftertaste.
