A hazy dark yellow colored beer. It has a huge white creamy head. It stays for a while, after that it leaves a nice lace on the glass. The aroma is great, sweet, bitter and fruits, like bananas, and apple. Also some hop and yeast. The taste is great too. At first it’s sweet and bitter. The fruits taste are there, the bananas and in the back the citrus. I think it’s a great beer, at a warm sunny day and on every other day.

does not count  Jul 16, 2008 Definite must for any Belgium fan, very distictive in every way. To me it smells and taste much more like a Saison than a triple. Obnoxiously huge stiff head, hazy yellow color. Funky barnyard smell and taste. Overall impression was standing between a bakery and a cattle farm and inhaling. Glad to try it, but I might pass next time. Don’t know the age.

Jul 15, 2008 My favorite of the De Dolle beers that I’ve tried. Amber/brown color with medium white head. Aroma is of yeast, bananas, brown sugar, and citrus. Tastes of brown sugar, caramel apples, and cookies. Slightly sour, bitter, and dry finish.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle: Contents were very eager to make an appearance, cap off & foam flowith over. Cloudy golden w/ an off-white two finger head. Crazy flaky sediment through out: including the lacing, which is nice by the way. Aroma is citrusy clove w/ alcohol present in the background. Also sweet candy sugar. Flavor has a candied sugar sweetness w/ a malty backbone & some major alcohol warmth. Slightly bitter finish. Leaves a syrupy sweetness behind, pretty good.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottled sample. Gold in colour with a bit of haze and string carbonation. Aromas of pilsner malt, riesling grapes, peach, and a bit of booze. Flavor wise, it’s got that typical tripel pale malt+sugar+citrus going on, along with a nice floral component, yeast, and honey. A touch of bitterness rounds out a honey-sweet mouthfeel. Very classy.

Jul 10, 2008 0.33l bottle, trappist glass, amber pour, off-white foamy head.
Smell peach, hops, alcohol. Taste hops, fruit and sweet, some spiciness with a bitter finish with quite a lot of alcohol.
The sweetness is a bit unsual in a good way, all in all very enjoyable.
