Bottle (330ml). Beer of Belgium Gift pack 2of6. Poured slightly hazy light gold with a very large bright white soapy/foamy lasting head, some lacing left behind. Aroma of coriander, black pepper, apple, mild caramel malt, muted alcohol - pretty standard mild triple. Taste is sharply alcoholic, slightly stale and sour apple, a hint of lemon juice, the coriander’s there as well as the standard beldian wit-ashiness I always get. Mouthfeel is a touch watery, lively and sugary. Drinkable and forgettable.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold color with a HUGE white head. I poured it a while ago, but it’s still settling. Tons of carbonation, smells slightly vinous, like cider, and alcohol. Tastes like sour apple cider. Fairly dry, not sweet like other triple’s I’ve tasted. I’m not feeling too fond of this, perhaps I’ll revisit it later.

Wonderful flowery-apple aroma out of this one, but you have to let it sit for a while for the violent carbon dioxide and thick creamy head to subside. Some shall say the apple flavor/scent is undesirable.. but I think the amount here makes it work very well. Gets better as you drink it, but after all it’s 9 percent! ;) Recommended, if you can find it.

Nice golden colour. Pure white foamy head. A good beer, but a bit too much carbonation for me. Spice flavor. Hint of hops.

(bottle) Slightly hazy yellow colour with a frothy white medium head. Strong pear fruity and yeasty aroma. Bitterfruity flavour, medium body, lively carbonation. Sweet malty and fruity taste with yeasts, dry and fruity, a bit vinous (Sherry), light bitter, slightly spicy finish with obvious hints of alcohol. Definitely not uninteresting but a bit strange Triple.

Citrus dominates the tongue to start, then a dryness reminds one of champagne, foamy head lingers long after the first sip, truly golden color, nice play between malt and hops, I couldn’t believe the alcohol content after the taste, but it does feel warm in the belly

Bottle: Hazy, yellow coloured with a touch of orangey, thin foamy layer; fruity nose (mainly pears and peaches) with traces of alcohol and yeast; intial sweet and fruity taste, mild sweetish flavour; pears, again, in the fruity and a bit tart finish; warming and tasty, quite well hidden alcohol and relatively light bodied for a brew of that strength.

Large white, lasting head. Orange colour. Perfumed arome with some yeast. Sweet alcoholic flavour with notes of citrus. Little hoppy finish. Avarage belgian trippel.
