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.

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.
