Poured a hazy dark golden color with a puffy well formed cap. The nose was intense with clove, orange peel,and spiced cider. The taste begins smooth yet peppery then soon transforms to coriander notes. The finish shifts gears yet again to more of a bitter and biscut flavor. This is one strong beer but none the less very drinkable and very tasty.

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.
