| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Golden in color with a taller off-white head. Decent lace. Aromas of Light fruit, lightly toasted malt and dough, floral scents, hint of coriander and alcohol. Full sweet flavors with light caramel, honey, raisins, resin and alcohol. Finish has a bit of burn and once again some alcohol. A nice dry malt flavor in the linger. This seems quite hot and lacks the subtleties I like in my type of tripel. I keep thinking this is just another strong golden. Perhaps I’m a little let down after the Saison, but I’ve been trying this over the last 1/2 hour and I am not catching much difference. lumpsowers (252), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Clear pour, giant head, good lace, rising bubbles. Cinnamon spicy aroma. Lots of cinnamon with a strange alcoholic, almost medicinal aftertaste. These is definitely some camphor flavor, maybe this is old. Not bad but I’ve been saving this tasting and am pretty disappointed.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 1, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange golden with a large frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a spicy clove and orange peel. The taste is a dry fruit with a bitter finish with the alcohol very present. A very good abbey tripel from Boulevard. RSRIZZO (1367), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 30, 2009 Color is a hazy orange yellow with good carbonation and a thick head. Aroma is sweet with a fruity yeast scent. Taste is fruity, spicy and faintly bitter. Starting with a medium body it goes down fizzy and smooth. Finish comes in with a banana yeast flavor then some spiciness, a faint dried fruit taste and a light bitterness. In the after taste the fruit fades giving way to a slight citrus that lets the bitterness linger on awhile. This is a excellent Triple.
