33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with small yeast sediments and a huge white head. Spiced, slight acidic and yeasty aroma. Flavour is the pure definition of a tripel. Smooth, spiced, slight acidic note, mild caramel malt and that yummy mellow Westmalle yeast note. All in a complex yet smooth blend - with a light bite towards the finish, just telling you that this is a 9.5% alcohol beer. Fantastic.

11.2 oz bottle which poured a cloudy blond.The nose was on the mild side, some fruit and yeast were evident. Nicely carbonated beer, with a mild flavor and a long dry somewhat peppery finish

Bottle. Yellowish golden that is semi-hazy with a nice white head. I can tell this has a lot of carbonation already. Aroma of belgian yeast with some sweet light fruit. Lots of fizzy carbonation yet very smooth and drinkable. Good stuff.

Beer 500 for me; bottle... Poured a hazy orange with a thick white head that lasted throughout the whole drink. Aroma was bread like with a nice alcohol presence and fruity esters. Palate was pretty wild that started off mellow and then attacked the tongue towards the finish. Flavors of complex citrus like spices with yeast, alcohol and some tangy hops in the background.

Bottle. Hazy golden straw colour with slight white head. Excellent aroma; complex and hard to define but combines a sweet fruitness with some hints of bread, hops and spices. Full bodied with excellent carbonation giving a frothy / mousse feeling on the tongue. Excellent and complex flavour. Starts with sweetish caramel malt and soem refreshing fruity tastes and quickly develops into a much richer set of flavours (including dark chocolate and spices) with a long rich and somewhat bitter finish. An excellent beer, but not one for every day.

A VERY GOOD TRIPLE HAS A VERY COMPLEX TASTE. I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE AND ITS $8.99 PRICE TAG FOR A 750 MILLILITER MAKE IT A GREAT BARGAIN.
