Commercial Description:
The king of the abbey beers. It is amber-gold and pours with a deep head and original aroma, delivering a complex, full bodied flavour. Pure enjoyment! Secondary fermentation in the bottle. (Temp: 8-10ºC)

Pours a cloudy gold with lots of beige head. Aroma is bananas, a little clove and some patchouli (?) Flavor is dry, crisp and very clean. Not much sweetness, which is good. As it warms, it begins to take on a more woody, earthy flavor.

Botte. 25.4 oz. Pours slightly cloudy golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of apples, citrus, hay, barley, wheat, and hops, Fuller bodied, with a clean, smooth finish. Decent blonde tripel.

Bottle. The aroma is sour-fruity, then it gets sweeter and reminds me a little bit of fresh bread. The head is rather large, white and foamy-creamy with a normal duration. The body is clear and orange-red. The taste is light bitter, later during the finish it gets more medical and unfortunately also metallic. The body is dry and medium strong with a lively carbonation.

750 ml bottle from Imbibe Wine. Nose ofyeast, candi sugar, caramel, and a little bubblegum note to go with the spices.Clear gold with a big cream colored glass lacing head after the cork popped like a champagne bottle. Flavor is sweet caramel and spices with a hint of bitterness and alcohol.

Smell really opens up the nose with it’s fruitiness. There’s stuff floating in the bottle and the head is big but is gone quickly. Flavor goes from nice and sweet to hoppy, but not overwhelming.

Bottled 33cl. Quick diminishing head. Some acetone and banana in the nose which is otherwise very typical for the style. Sweet. Pleasant taste.

Julio’s Belgian Beer Festival. Sample. Excellent triple. One of the best of dozens sampled at this festival.

I’ll make this one quick- as I am watching Ratatouille at this moment... This is a great fruity tripel, bouquet and palate. A classic.
