Draught (Brugs Beertje, Brugge) - Hazy golden with a white head. Slightly sweet aroma with hints of apple, pineapple and spice. Spicy and fruity taste with ginger and pineapple. The finish is sweet. Fruity and spicy.

750mL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Light golden, very carbonated, fizzy white head, with quick dispersion. Aroma is alcohol, floral-gardenia confirmed by Aaron’s wife. Flavor is spicy, ginger, candi sugar, less alcohol than in nose. light mouth feel, tingly.

Tap at Kafe België, Utrecht: Pretty good example of the Tripel style, its has some orange and spicy taste.

Bomber from Forest City. Pours gold with a nice fluffy-white head. Aroma of esters, yeast, and candi sugar. Smooth palate with prickly carbonation supports flavors of lemon, flowers, and yeast primarily, with gentle hoppy qualities. Goes down smoothly, with a refreshingly bitter aftertaste. This is not the most dynamic beer out there, but it is superbly balanced and true to style.

750 ml. brown, champagne bottle. Crowned, but no cork. Best before June, 2009. Poured out a hazy, strawberry blonde color, with a huge frothy white head. Aromas are of corriander, cardamom, ginger, other baking spice, sweet malts, slight whiff of alcohol. Flavors are of spices, slight yeast, sour oranges, lemon peel, sweet malts, some alcohol. Rich mouthfeel, slick and oily. Finished somewhat dry and tangy. Carbonated well, but not too much. Perfect example of the style. Seek it out if you can.

Flaske. Ligetil trippel med et lille tvist. Meget lys næsten hvedeagtig i udseendet. Smagen har en kant af krydderier, jeg ikke kunne bestemme indtil konen kaldte den for frys-selv-is. Ellers udemærket men ikke superophidsende.

Sweet fruit aroma. Murky yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Sweet hop malt flavour with a bit of fruit on the siade. Full fizzy palate.

On tap @ Chez Moeder Lambic, St. Gilles. Gorgeous and cloudy yellow-orange with white, lasting head. Aroma of oranges, alcohol, and pine, which makes me think of gin. Somewhat sweet flavor with alcohol and herbs--tastes evergreen. Medicine. Faint citrus. The alcohol flavor is just too strong, leaving the beer way out of balance.
