You would never know that it is 8.5 % alcohol. Tripplebrew (496), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Pours a clear honey, absolutely no nebulous qualities. no real head, just very light amounts of white lacing. Aroma is apple undertones but a very light sweetness. It is rather cidery ut not strong vinegar touch...just the sweetness. Flavor is definitely of apples, light hops and citrus. A sweet beer but not syrupy in the least. Fair amount of carbonation. mugabe (219), Sweden

Aromas of lemon and orange peel, tart apples, spice. Same tastes on palate, but a little fruitier and definitely yeastier. Easy to take down, especially for an 8.5% beer. Good, but overpriced.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Aroma is a fruity yeast scent. Color is golden yellow with very good carbonation and a big, huge head with a thick top. Taste is fruity, crisp and bitter. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a fizzy crisp feel. Finish comes in with a fruity yeast flavor, a faint hop flavor and a full bitterness. There is a mellow alcohol taste in the after taste. Not the best Belgian brew but very tasty all the same. Its lacking that dried fruit flavor that others have and is bit more bitter than I like a Belgian to be. Also the carbonation is a bit overactive and the head is a bit too much. billk (300), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Tap @ Teresa’s Wayne, PA. Clear (not hazy) golden, with 1/2" white head topping up the tulip glass. Not much smell for it was cold. Nice flavor of a Belgian tripel style with some apple & pear candy & caramelized sugar, also floral notes including honeysuckle. Very silky smooth, somewhat rich, well into medium bodied with a fullness of flavors. The sweetness wasn’t overdone. Some hop bitterness & flavor. Alcohol well integrated. This is a very nice quality Belgian ale but I don’t think it’s worth pursuing because of it’s high price. wondrtim (19), Lakewood, Washington, USA
