Sour, neutral. A classic triples, however lacks alcohol and power. Easy to pour down in the throat.

The aroma is slightly yeasty. The color is hazy orange and it has a fine beige head though disappearing. The flavor is of cloves, oranges, citrus, and yeast with the alcohol prickling the tongue. An average triple.

less than average tripel? i would rather say it's a belgian blond beer, with lack of taste, lack of body and lack of aftertaste.

Good triple. Hop aroma, low on the alcohol for a triple. Drinks easily, has a quick finish.

Tart aroma with grapefruit. Little hazy, golden, white rocky head that diminishes fast. Well hopped, light sweet, flowery, smooth. Short finish.

blond beer with a medium head. Milky if your not careful. The aroma is very lagery hoppish. The taste is like a sweet lager beer. Flattens out quickly.

More faint hazy honey gold under a small short lasting head. Fruity floral hops with hints of citrus, malt and soap. Palate is soft soapy and sweet. Mild flat bitter middle and it has a blandish sweet finish. Lacks any real character and flavour.

Brewed by Crombé: aroma has grapefruit and hops. Very hoppy taste. A bit tart. Loads of citrus. Long bitter finish. See above rating. Brewed by Strubbe (?), bought at Crombé Brewery, best until june '06. If Strubbe brewed this beer, they did a good job. Hoppy aroma, very hoppy flavor with a hint of lemon. Hoppy aftertaste, prickly mouthfeel. Lacks complexity compared to a cellared Crombé beer, but it surely has quality. 7 3 8 5 15 = 3.8
