Golden colour, unclear, with dense creamy beige head. Sweetness, hops ! and yeast in the aroma. Fruity and sweet notes and a light touch of yeast to balance the hoppy flavours. Complex and very balanced. Full bodied. Dry. Has a balanced bitterness in the end. Very good one. malrubius (1004), Valley Stream, New York, USA

Pale hazy yellow gold with big puffy dense white head and full lace. Hoppy lemon meringue pie aroma with coriander and a tiny hint of soap. Peach honey sweetness with brisk lemon coriander pepper hop spiciness. Medium body and carbo. Too seductive for 9%. Amazingly delicious. One of the best. A new favorite. hoooraybeer (48), Cranford, New Jersey, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 10, 2008 Poured a puffy white head and a cloudy straw color with lots of floaties. The head stayed longer than any I’ve seen it bobbed on top like a puffy marhmallow through the whole glass.
The aroma is a calm not too malty tripel with little hop aroma-very nice if a little weak.
Flavor is honey with a mild malt/bready signature belgian tripel
An efforvenscent but full mouth feel.
The tripel and IPA flavors are separate, but the transition is easy. You graduate from the tripel to a coriander and then citrus flavor before getting the IPA hop bitter - which is very very well balanced and then lasts but doesn’t sting.
The alcohol definitely warms, but you don’t tate it.
It’s very refreshing for both a tripel and IIPA.
This is a great BEER! Bragesnak (2281), Aarhus, Denmark

Au fut
Very hoppy but well balanced with sweetness and carbonation
A winner Ranganathan (2), chicago, Illinois, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | May 3, 2008 Easily the top Belgian IPA out there. Thick, stubborn head that sticks around till the end. Citrusy hops dominate with a crisp finish. For discriminating tastes only. KyotoLefty (1468), Kyoto, Japan

This is it. A very good tripel, hopped to hell like an American Imperial IPA. this is amazing. Great aroma with citrus, Belgian yeast, golden malt. Flavor doesn’t let down. This was a good new idea.
