4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Surely one of the great tripels. Yellowy-orange color, highly carbonated, crisp and tart. Nice spice and a little dry. Serving: Bottle and Tap
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (33cl) from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. BB 8.10.2011. Milky yellow/orange colour. Large white, stable head leaving some nice lace patterns. Aroma of lemon peel, yeast, honey, caramel, resin, and spices. Medium to full body, soft to fizzy carbonation. ABV is well hidden, giving a tremendous fullness in the aftertaste. Dry bitter finish, but balanced by a complexity of discrete fruity sweetness and spices. Somewhat of a grower, this one.

UPDATED: FEB 21, 2011 What on earth was this! Bought it 2 months ago, bad aging? Dunno. Aroma is alcohol, corn and hints of yeast. Taste is like a european lager but with more alcohol to it. Horrible!! (3 4 6 3 12)
Update
Better bottle? Aroma is yeast, wheat, some coriander, vanilla and sweet. Taste is fizzy, vanilla, some wheat, pommerance, estery with a dry and bitter finish.

Great head that lasts right through the glass. Golden in colour. Sweet and spicy, alcohol quite noticable but lovely balance. Super beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a hazy golden orange with a big fluffy white head that shows excellent retention, sticky to the sides of the glass and leaving a patchwork of lacing.
The aroma is nice combination of light fruity esters, grassy notes and spices. There are apples, dough, and a hint of alcohol burn in the nose as well.
The taste is a little less sweet with the spices really coming out - peppery. The alcohol presence is noticeable but not off-putting with the fruits lingering in the background with the light bready malts. The finish is very dry and peppery.
The mouthfeel is lively with strong carbonation and dry effervescent finish.
An excellent and very drinkable tripel that leans more on the dry and spicy side of things, which I like. Highly recommended.

330 ml bottle. Hazy golden yellow colour, thick white head. Very pleasant and rich aroma of citrus, apples and other fruits. The flavour is spicy, fruity and warm, with a nicely dry and lingering bitter finish.

pours a golden cloudy color with a large carbonated white head. Grassy citrus aroma. Strong alcohol taste and not that drinkable. A very solid belgian tripple, but not the best.

Bottle/corked bomber. Poured hazy golden with a thin white head. Has a light lemony-citrus scent. Bubbly.Taste is dry and more somplex than I expected with hints of lemon and orange. Plus some spices. Very nice. Carbonation adds to the mouthfeel. Great finish. Alcohol hidden well. A very pleasing beer. The wife wants me to hate it so she can have it all.
