Feb 13, 2005 33 cl bottle. Served in St. Bernardus goblet. Hazy gold w/ big, creamy, stable head that sticks around until the end, and leaves good lacing. Most impressive.
The aroma is well-hopped, citrusy fresh, and well-balanced.
The flavor is perfectly balanced between citrus, hops, slight sweetness, solid malt backbone, and long, spicy, warming finish. The alcohol remains hidden. Mouthfeel is impressively full and soft. Eminently drinkable. A superb tripel; one of the very best I´ve tasted.

Mar 15, 2006 Cloudy light amber color; thick head. The aroma is classic for a Tripel, malty and spicy (coriander); and milk chocolate. Same for the taste: good malt and very strong spicy character (coriander), dry. With a strong bitterness in the late taste and final. Solid.

Dec 10, 2004 Firstly, I thought this beer rocked. Poured orange with a medium white head. Big citrus hop aroma. Big hop flavor reminiscent of the west coast. Bitter finish. Excellent.

Mar 16, 2008 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.

Aug 8, 2005 Bottled - GBBF 2005. A hazy custard coloured beer with a nice white head and good lacing. The aroma was massive spices, lemons and yeast. The taste had more spices - coriander and pepper. A really good full-bodied tripel.

Aug 7, 2005 Updated: Apr 18, 2006GBBF 2005. Cloudy banana flesh colour. Medicinal hop aroma with bugglegumy banana. Good weiss one of my favourites from this festival. Re-rate. Sorry why did I say that this was a weiss? This is an excellent tripel. I’ve enjoyed the 3 de graal beers. they have that something special. This has some tangy tangerine/orange zest with yeast and hops on nose. Syrupy orange zest in mouth before attack of hops. Good beer
