Hop aromatic and fruity ester aroma with notes of oranges and spicy alcohol. Flavour is rather harsh with lots of alcohol, sharp fruity esters and a dry somewhat hot ending. Palate is very lively, almost sharp carbonation. Drinkable but a bit sharp around the edges. madquacker (730), Canberra ACT, Australia

Quite clear yellowish color, very large white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit and yeast. The taste was fresh with hints of spices, yeast, alcohol. Easy to drink. goldfish19 (50), Long Island, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 7, 2009 ~ 33cl bottle purchased from Bierkraft in Brooklyn, NY. The pour from this Trappist Ale is a hazy yellow with a thick creamy head. Citrus fruits, malt sweetness, some spices, and a touch of alcohol make up the aroma. The taste is clean and sweet with some warming at the end from the 8% ABV.
Conclusion: Far from the best, but not the worst. If you’re looking for a Belgian Tripel that’s well-crafted, tastes delicious, and is easy to drink– look no further. ~
