Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange with a strong slightly off-white head. Aromas of malt spicy and some fruit. Great mouthfeel with pleny of spice some hop bitterness and definately some candi sugar sweetness. Great beer.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange gold with a white, pongent head. Aroma of sweet fruits, spice, raisins, and clove. Firm body with a bitter finish. Very tasty tripel.

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.

great tripel, travels better to NZ than most beers but still not as good as in Europe.

Appearance: Hazy amber colour with a big fluffy white head, and very heavily carbonated. Aroma: Fruit and yeast on the nose. Peppery spice, clove, banana, orange peel. Very aromatic. Taste: Sweet and fruity up front, before making way for a heavy spiciness of pepper and clove. There is a banana flavour in there, along with an orangey zest. Quite bitter hoppy finish that clings to the palete. Mouthfeel: Full bodied, and very lively on the carbonation. The texture is oily and slick. Drinkability: An absolutely world class triple, I could drink this everyday. The flavours are perfect and moreish. This is a beer that has to be experienced.
