linc33 (177), Albany, New York, USA Mar 26, 2009 On tap at the Ginger Man in NYC. Good Tripel, but with a strong Irish/Scotch whiskey character, almost as if it was aged in pre-used oak. Would be curious to try this in a bottle and see how it compared. hoppopotamus (182), Santa Cruz, California, USA Mar 25, 2009 A hazy golden brew with a lot of yeast sediment with a small white head that doesn’t really stick around. Pretty weak aroma of grain/wheat/hay, a little musky. The skirt I’m drinking with says citrus, but I can’t tell. Flavor is similarly weak but there’s the usual belgian yeast spiciness, and some bitterness at the end. Not my favorite trappist, but if you’re looking for a light one this is it. Hank1980 (734), Athens, Georgia, USA Mar 25, 2009 Bottle. Pured golden with a big white head. Aroma of wheat, orange, yeast, light spice. Taste is similar with some light hop coming through as well. Finish is a little dry and the mouth is very carbonated. Very easy drinking, excellent tripel. sandollor (47), Germany Mar 24, 2009 Poured a golden hue that when settle had a sit head on top. Seemed to have a lot more carbonation then the red or blue labels. A somewhat strong bitter after taste, but was great going down with the slight flavor of fruit. frankcolub (48), Ashbury, Australia Mar 21, 2009 bottle,pours golden brown colour and
a fine head, slight hazy appearance.
strong frity hops aroma
a strong acoholic bitter taste , not my favourite chimay but still a great beer scrizzz (1251), kirkland, Washington, USA Mar 17, 2009 Sandy brown/orange with some suspended sediment. Bubbly fizzy head fell very quickly to a thin white head. Soft aroma of dry wheat and some orange. Golden raisin, very dry yeast character, firm hop astringency. Fred82 (344), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Mar 15, 2009 341ml bottle in trappist glass. Poured hazy orange with medium white head. Lots of carbonation on the glass. Aroma is malty, spicy and wheat. Small bitterness on the finish which may be the only downside. Rating #68 IPAGargoyleGuy (139), Troy, NY, New York, USA Mar 14, 2009 Very smooth with a bubbly mouthfeel and it looks fantastic with a large white head. Taste is not as complex as blue or even red, but it is still a great triple.
