Nov 11, 2009 750 ml bottle from Total Wine in Tustin ($7.99). Pours a cloudy honey yellow with three fingers of white head. Aroma of bready malts, dry yeast, hoppy esters (citrus, pear). Nice fruit flavors (banana, pear, citrus) along with light yeast and light spice. Nice sweet and dry finish with good carbonation. Alcohol is undetectable, but then 7.5% is kind of light for a tripel.

Nov 9, 2009 330 mL bottle from Total Wine in Norfolk (best by March 11, 2011). Yellowish-orange pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lightly sour with bready yeast and a hint of Belgian candi sugar. Sweet at first with some citric flavor and a very dry finish. Everything is very well balanced. This is one of the better Tripels out there.

Nov 8, 2009 750 mL bottle, split with my dad on 11/7/09. Very nice, fruity aroma. Apple juice, peach, and bubblegum scents. Wheaty and, to a lesser extent, yeasty smell. Pours a pale gold to straw color. The liquid is mostly clear with some haze. Large amount of uneven, nearly white head that is frothy with large bubbles. Sweet initial taste with a dry finish. Floral and fruity. Nice taste, but not particularly complex. A little bit of chalk or dirt in the finish. Dry aftertaste. Light to medium body. Unremarkable palate effects. A pleasant if unspectacular brew.

Nov 2, 2009 solid beer. This is very light tasting. I’m in shock that it is 7.5%. where is all the booze? Very smooth taste, go for it

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a light golden color with a huge white foaming head and lots of effervesence. Nose is bread, yeast and citrus. Very creamy on the palate. Taste is slightly sweet, with notes of fresh baked bread and citrus. No bitterness on the finish, but very satisfying. A superior brew, this Abbey Tripel is a good companion to a baguette, cheese and thee.

Oct 23, 2009 33cl bottle as shown, at ’’Le Belge’’ in Offenbach. Hazy golden yellow colour, with big, creamy white head. Creamy mouthfeel, medium-bodied blonde tripel - medium to active carbonation. Yeasty and hoppy aroma, flavour is hoppy with a fruity, citrusy green banana note, dry finish, alcoholic after taste. One of the more likeable Belgian tripels, this one isn’t too sweet, quite the contrary. Well-balanced and quite sessionable - so be careful. ;=)
