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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
