I am quite familiar with this lovely ale. It is a deep yellow with a creamy looking head.The nose is of pears, apples, and alcohol.
The taste is of earthy, bright fruity malt. The hops are enough to make this a clean finishing beer. The sweetness is not cloying. The mouthfeel is one of the best I have ever encountered. It is ultra creamy and medium bodied. I have somehow put this beer down in about thirty minutes. It took no effort. I most definitely want another one.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Hazy golden/orange color with a nice white head. Aroma is yeasty, very spicy with notes of orange. Flavour is sweet with lots of spices, fruit, citrus, green apples and orange with a slight bitterness at the end. Palate is quite filling with medium carbonation. It’s not that drinkable though, but still a quite nice sipper. Tripels is not one of my favourite styles and I think Chimay White is the best one still. It gets a bit too sweet and alcoholic after a while.

Sep 27, 2008 330ml bottle served i a Trappist glass. Bottle erupted with foam when opened, hope it isn’t infected. Lots of sediment floating around in yellow-gold liquid topped by a lasting white head. Sugary nose with some spicy esters. Tastes of candi sugar, pepper, caramel. Very active carbonation, frothy mouthfeel, some warmth, drying effect. Very solid, but standard tripel.
