I don’t think I have rated a beer this high before. Excellent flavor, aroma, texture, you name it, its got it. I was becoming a Chimay snob, but no longer. I have found a new winner. The texture is very smooth for the ABV, and the aroma will make you want to grab a tobacco pipe and sit by the fire and read Chaucer. Very elegant!

Dry, woody, fruity, sparkling hops. Mild malt, yeasty, alcohol. Candy sugar. Dark baked apples, effervescent. Not as good as other Belgian beers...I knew it, must be why I avoided it for yrs. Not bad, just not as great as others.

11.2 ounce bottle in Westmalle goblet. Pale hazy golden orange with thick white head and full lace. Vanilla and lemon grass aroma with very faint alcohol. Sweet vanilla honey candy sugar peach apricot fruitiness. Assertive peppery spicy hoppy dry finish. Medium body and carbo. Pretty much perfect.

I am not a big fan of Belgian beers but after seeing the rating and description that Draft magazine gave it I figured it was worth throwing down the dough. Though this is not my favorite style this was easily recognized as a fine brew. What I noticed most was how smooth it was. Big fizzy head and the smell wow! what a nice one.

A very good beer. Rich smell and taste, goes down smooth. This is worth the price that it is.

light colouring for a Tripel. Aroma of sweet yet spicy banana. Pallet almost Caramel with a clean crisp finish. I must confess. This is not my favourite Tripel but would still happily drink this anyday of the week and twice on the weekend.

Aroma of banna nut bread like yeast and candied sugars. Huge white lacing head sits atop a dark orange or apple cider like body. Just the right amount of hops to keep the taste away from oversweet or overdry. Well concealed ABV. Very good indeed.

The aroma contained yeast and undertermined flavors. The appearance was amber, cloudy with a frothy head. Full body with medium bitterness.
