33cl bottle purchased from Willow Bend Liquors (FL). Pours a cloudy butterscotch color with a thick, creamy white one finger head. Nose: Hints of citrus, faint sweetness, grains, bread, spices. Flavor: Smooth, medium-bodied with hints of bread, yeast, flour with a slight citrus finish. Lively carbonation. Nice tripel.

330 mL bottle. (BB 15/10/09) Hazy/yeasty peach-orange in colour, with a medium, sticky, thick, white head. The aroma is grassy, wine spritzer, noble hops, and tangy fruit. The flavour is complex as well: spice/herb, yeast, alcohol, pilsner malt, green apple, hops. Full and dry. Not as great as I thought it’d be, to be honest.

Classic Tripel. Pours gold with a little copper, thick head. Complex with malty sweetness, and spices cardamom, cloves and bread. The alcolhol is noticeable but not overbearing. Good stuff.

Drank it with Juancho at the Ginger Man in NYC. Pours beautiful golden color, with a white head. Spicey, and full flavored. Let it breathe for several minutes

Bottle poured into a Duvel tulip. What greeted me was a nice finger worth of head that turned into a thick layer of lace on top of a beautiful hazy (small particles float around) yellowish orange body. Aromas of fruit, bread yeast, hops and a light alcohol whiff Flavors are citric and spicy with a little alcohol warmth in the end Good carbonation on the tongue A great drink for a good meal. A little to much alcohol to drink a lot of these but highly drinkable

33cl bottle, 9.5% a/v Pours a deep murky gold colour with a very nice light and fluffy head, which laces very readily. The aroma is complex and largely spicy. There are also some small caramel malt notes as well as apricots and a bit floral. The taste is spicy, and bitter, which a boozy feeling as well. A strange punch in the mouth at first but the taste grows on you. The beer has a very full mouthfeel as well, and playful carbonation dancing on the tongue.

33cl bottle, bought in NL. Strong foamy head over a clear, bubbly, light- golden colour. Hints of cardamom and cumin over a sweet somewhat citric, almost orangy smell. Some yeastiness. Bitter-sour flavour with some sweetness and a hint of saltiness. The palate is dry and especially salty in the aftertaste. Hints of liquorice and spices with a rather bitter finish.
