Rated 7/11/07. Pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a big frothy head that reduces to a thin film. Leaves behind a patchy spider-web of lacing. Aroma is sweet and sour citrus, yeast, and spices. Flavor is like candied orange peels, sweetened lemon, corriander, nutmeg, yeast and malt. Body is syrupy, typical of a tripel. Not my favorite style, by any means, but this is a very well crafted beer.

750 ml bottle. Aroma is spicy, hints of banana, and yeasty. Pours gold with lively carbonation, small head. Flavor is similiar and sweet. Strong notes of pepper. Alcohol gets stronger with each sip. Medium mouthfeel, long finish. Decent.

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.

Gorgeous deep amber colour. Slightly overstrong start with honey, caramel and spiced notes. Sweet alcoholic finish. Too strong.

(Bottle, 0.75 l bottled 240408, at Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki, on 2008-09-27) Orange. Cloudy. Medium sized quickly disappearing white head. Citric aromas, yeast and some tiny hints of banana in very fruity nose. Medium bodied palate with quite lot of carbonation. Fruitiness, bitterness, grapefruit, malts and some salty liquorice. Long lasting fruity aftertaste.
