A good belgian trappist. Sometimes at some beerfestivals you can get it straight from the tap. At that moment you can taste the best of this beer. Caramel, chocolate and coffee are the mats witch best come up. Resin and grass are the hops. The alcohol is good discovered by those.

Murky amber with suspension, thin head that stays. Light smell, champagne, banana. Alcohol burn, don’t get much else past the alcohol. Bit sour, very spicy. Overly carbonated. Not too unpleasant but doesn’t have much to give, for me.

Pale cloudy yellow with a fluffy white head. classic tripel aroma, sweet and fruity, with a high carbonation. taste is fruity, some citrus, almonds and good bitterness. long finish, and good punch of alcohol. its not subtle, but its good.

cakanator (440) - South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA - NOV 27, 2011
25oz bottle. Cork pop opening, excellent pour great lacing and head. Rich golden hue seems layered in complexity just in the color. Aromas are sweeter just like a belgian tripel should be. So balanced, nice yeasty flavors up front with an immediate sweetness taking over the mid, finishes so smooth, the ABV is so well hidden. Excellent balanced sweetness, nothing you need for dessert, but maybe to sip on before. Ripe citrus mingles with the sweetness. Long finish.

Tequilakongen (264) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 27, 2011
There are spices, flowers and fruits in the aroma, also alcohol, and something that resembles a perfume scent, but no way it feels alien to the beer. Taste follow the same lines and finish is an outstanding fruity mouthful. A clear yellow colour and a white head. Head is huge at first, becomes rocky, then settles. (Bottle)

Light, fruity and yeasty aroma. Beautiful hazy light gold color and plenty of white fluffy head. Light, gentle fruity/floral flavor with enough carbonation to leave dry notes after the sip. Finishing note is almost of a skunked beer but surely that can’t be it. Overall, not that complex of flavor. Enjoyable beer, but not the best tripel I have had.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow colour with a thick white head. Plenty of fruit and alchol in the aroma, the taste is sweet and fruity with a dry bitter finish.
