Bejaaamin (110), London, Ontario, Canada Jul 29, 2009 Rich amber colour, fluffy white head. heavy, dense, lots of sediment. Very well balanced, very bright, medium bitter. Notes of peaches. trevor211 (500), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 28, 2009 Pours a bright gold with a big, dense, off-white head. Lots of sparkly citrus in this one - esters are hugely present, with a big hop contingent, Belgian yeast and a tiny bit of candi sugar. Definitely hop-forward for a tripel. Nice and dry, great effervescence, really smooth for something this sparkly. Just a tad heavy on the starchy aspects - the yeast really plays a part in here - but really nice other than that. padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Jul 27, 2009 Had this at the Yardhouse. Very aromatic triple. Lots of yeast and fruit on the nose. Loved how this one tasted of fruits and bread dough. Very good. satan165 (541), River Grove, Illinois, USA Jul 26, 2009 aroma is of yeast and some tropical fruits. a bit sweet but not offensive. appearance is closer to golden (translucent) then blonde. flavor is quite sweet and plenty estery... setting it a bit apart from the other trappist tripels. palate is not as dry as the others either, while yeast is present it doesnt mop the moisture from your mouth like some do. CamdenD (606), Madrid, Spain Jul 26, 2009 Great Belgian triple. I’m a sucker for the style and you all know this one already. More complex than Blue, for me, and when served on tap, hops come through. Beautifully made beer. Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jul 26, 2009 Tap at PIB. Pours a lovely orange with yellow highlights and a tight white head. Aroma full of yeast, coriander, honey. Flavor is very spicy, coriander and pepper and some yeast and light honey. Has a nice snap to it that I very much enjoy. Would love to do side by sides of the three Chimay beers someday. bw1982 (69), , Arizona, USA Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. I have had this a few times and hadn’t yet rated, so here goes. Pours a vibrant golden color, very hazy, and has a half inch white head. The aromas are nice, yeast and apricots dominate. Flavors include fresh bread, coriander, honey and some great hops. The palate is pretty close to perfect, refreshing yet solid. This one had been stored for awhile, and felt like it had some serious alcohol, but no alcohol flavors. Great beer. temporrari (327), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Jul 19, 2009 On tap @ Trion Tavern. It was decent. Not really what I was looking for though. I’ve had several tripels that I like a lot better.
