mountdad (763) - Mount Maunganui, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 12, 2021UPDATED: MAR 12, 2021 500ml bottle. Pours a cloudy gold, if you gets the yeast that does settle out, with next to no white head. Aroma id muted & mostly alcohol. This has a medium body with a sweet, fairly thick malt base. Not nearly as much spice or banana ester flavours as I was expecting. I mainly get a fairly sweet malty & alcoholic beer with hints of the Belgian flavours expected. Big beer but a bit disappointing.

ReV2 (259) - Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - NOV 8, 2018Pours a hazy orange with good head, and that's enough of the niceties. This sweet tasting liquor is an insult to Belgian Triples. In fact it's an insult to Belgium. I'll stop at saying it's an insult to beer as someone who's never tasted alcohol before might find it pleasing. Don't get me wrong, it's not disgusting, it just tastes of candy sugar and alcohol and that's about it, nothing complex here, move along. In the UK there are super-strength lagers designed to get you p*ssed and this would sit comfortably amongst them. A Belgian-type triple it is not.
drdisque (1014) - Illinois, USA - MAY 14, 2018On tap at Bangers & Lace. Pours light blond. Sweet fizzy alcohol phenolic aroma. Flavor is boozy and balanced with a rich mouthfeel and a medium body. Relatively clean finish. Good but not exceptional Tripel.
omhper (36926) - Tyresö, SWEDEN - MAR 13, 2018Keg at Moa Tiki, Singapore. Clear pale bronze colour, small head. Fruity nose with bread and marzipan. Mildly sweet with full body and dense, well rounded mouthfeel. Spicy hops, dry grains, marmelade and honey. Peppery warming finish. Intense and complex, yet balanced. Classy!

Very complex, sweet on the front, spice and bitter build across the pallet. Light head on the the pour, full body and brings the punch mid Lind. ABV is a worthy guest. I loved the complexity, especially off the first few draws, then a comfortable transition to finish. Two Thumbs Up.
mabznz (12) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 31, 2017A great beer. Too bloody strong but tastes good. A bit too sweet, tasted a bit of clove and raisen.
explosivedog (10897) - New York, New York, USA - DEC 20, 2017500ml bottle. Pours orange gold. Clove, banana, touch of burnt toast, citrus peel, little alcohol heat near the end. Good full body with a nice carbonation. Tasty.

Most awful beer I have ever tasted. I don't know what went wrong but bitter beer with paint thinner is best described.
NZJoe (196) - NEW ZEALAND - DEC 2, 2017500ml Bottle. Hazy dark golden colour with a small head. Got that classic Belgian Tripel aroma, all clove and wheat. Tastes amazing really. Rustic and hearty. Sweetness is there but definitely not cloying. Some clove, banana and biscuit flavours going on. Alcohol is not overly present. Just a beautiful beer to take a bit of time on and savour.
