Beer pours in generic chalice glass a cloudy light orange golden liquid with a generous amount of virgin white head that dissipates quickly to leave a thin film. Aroma is of fruit, citrus, sweet, and hops. Flavor has a strong citrus bite followed by a medium sting of hops. Probably a decent tripel, but too strong of hops for my tastes.

a beer of contrasts. apperance is beautiful foam above tripy yellow +a limp shallow aroma +a very flavoursome spicy ,dry hoppines and erratic boozeiness with fat malt tang. -: They say Westmalle Triple epitomizes the Triple style .Theresz cooler Triples but Westmalle is got the street creed.

Hazy golden color with yeast particles with a really thick and foamy white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of dried fruit, flowers, soap and brown sugar. Complex rich flavor of spices, yasmin, orange, chocolate and fruit in liquor. Sweet and fruity finish with a sting of alcohol.

Brewed in Belgium !!! Pours a hazy yellow color with a super foamy white head. Aroma of sweet malts, bananas, citrus, and spices. The taste is of spices, pepper, fruits, and dough. Mouthfeel is sticky and frizzy with some nice carbonation. There is however some alcohol burn at the finish..... :)
