Upon first sip, my first word was "Whoa!". Great flavor, good aroma, strong malty flavor. Once again, the Belgians have produced another winner.

Bottle from SL... Pours a light orang-ish color, monster head! Aroma of some light spices, a little perfume, banana and some yeast. Taste is a sweet but dry banana, spices, light hops and some yeast notes. Nicely done. No trace of alcohol. Texture is light, fluffy and dry. Overall its not chimay but a nice tripel to sip on.

Well done triple with a champagne-like texture, fruity esters, a strong yeast quality but I feel the dubbel has more flavor than this one has despite some citrus and well hidden alcohol.

Bottled. Light orange/yellow with thinner white head. Floral and fruit aroma magnify sweetness in taste and nose. Floral hops add weird tinge and distinguished aroma. Tight and crisp as hell. A little champagne feel in both nose and flavor. Light bitter throughout but with lightly sweeter finish.

Cloudy pale yellow with good fizzy head and decent lace. Delicious combination of all typical trappist factors with floral hop, yeast presence, and warming alcohol to round it out.

Light fruity sweetness and spiciness. A bit hazey gold with excellent white, pillowy head. Moderately sweet and complexly spicey (nutmegy)...light alcohol finish.

A good consistent dry blonde Trappist ale. Full of spices and an interesting bitter lime kick. Always enjoyable. Poured from 33cl bottle to my own Westmalle glass on NYE. I think these are better fresh rather than aged.

( 330ml bottle bb 1/27/11) pours cloudy orange with huge lastin head and some yeast particles in the head. Nose of bread, Belgian yeast, white fruits. Taste of white pepper, alcohol, white grapes, and quite bready. Finishes very carbonated, peppery and creamy. A great tripel.
