On tap at Delilah’s in Chicago. Golden with creamy white head. Aroma of spice, sweet malt and alc. Flavor was very spicey, cardamom, though orange and other yeast notes, alc, very fruity, medium sweet, nice. Creamy, medium body. Overall a very nice beer with a little too much alc. -----------------------
Rerate as part of the blind "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Cloudy orange amber with thick white head. Orange and yeast aroma with slight malt. Flavor is sharp alc with yeast, orange, aged red fruit and raisin. Fizzy carbonation with medium body. And alcy mess with horrible palate.

does not count  Oct 9, 2008 This is a great beer. I liked it better than the Chimay blue reserve and I typically like bitter dark beer. I will go as far as to say it is now my favorite. It very foamy so I had to wait to drink but it’s excellent. I can’t put my finger on the flavor they added but its creamy and superb. Not to expensive either. I can’t wait to have another.

Oct 9, 2008 Clove and Cinnamon aroma. Murky body clarity with medium body. Moderately bitter initial flavor. My least favorite of the Chimay’s. A little hoppy for the style, but not bad.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours a murky golden color. Good lacing. Aroma of light spice and bready malts. Intial flavor of spicy bready malts with a light alcohol finish. Not bad but I like the Westmalle triple better.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Bubbly golden orange pour with white fizzy head. Spicy and sweet. Lots of yeast, some citrus, and a doughiness on the nose as well as some hops. Similar on the palate with some added apricot/peach and honey notes. Always a pleasure.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a very CO2 active clear golden colour with a nice big head.
Very fresh lime smell with hints of spices.
Really inviting and refreshing beers, makes you want more and more.
Taste is clean hops and spices with a nice warm finish.
Goes down great.
