yumyum (66), barrie, Ontario, Canada May 30, 2008 hazy orange with white head. spicy on the nose. Fuity and vanilla flavour, alcohol nicely hidden. Overall a nice enough beer but nothing to get overly excited about. I would put it about on par with chimay white.
patricks110 (198), Alberta, Canada Jan 5, 2009 A wonderful beer. A bit high in ABV but you can hardly taste it amongst the spicy and fruity notes. Aroma of dry fruit and grass. Mouthfeel is slightly unusual and leaves a persistent flavour of alcohol in my mouth. Overall, a great trappist. Russo (550), Campinas, Brazil Jan 4, 2009 Bottled. Clear Amber color (orangy), with a nice white head that persist for a long time, actually until the finish. Aroma is fruity and sweety, somne honey, pineapple and malty notes. Flavor is sweet citrus with a medium carbonation, alcohol is perceptible. Mouthfeel is spicy and dry but take a long time to do. Cybercat (507), Georgia, USA Jan 3, 2009 Color is a hazy amber, not impressive - but the thick, white, rather persistent head promises a great ale. Strong aroma is creamy, fruity, malty, and slightly sweet. Flavor is crisp, fruity, malty, very satisfying, not overly complex but rather mouth-filling. Texture is smooth but edgy, and leaves a fruity and slightly hoppy aftertaste. It does have quite a bite to it, so beware - it ain’t for sissies! joeyplush (108), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 3, 2009 Pours a yellow-gold color with a foamy white head and good lacing. Aroma of honey, caramelized bananas, and some grassy hops. Taste/palate is highly carbonated, with sweetness and honey flavors, balanced with a light citrus bitterness. Wasatch (247), Layton, Utah, USA Jan 2, 2009 A - Pours a cloudy yellowish color, nice carbonation which produces a nice small foamy white head, some lacing afterwards.
S - Scents of malts, spices, grapes, bannanas, and yeast.
T - The taste is kinda sweet and malty, carbonated, nice clean finish.
M - Medium body, pretty complex brew.
D - Drinkable. This is a nice tripel, but I like the dubbel much better.
