white head with a golden yellow appearance, aroma is yeasty with mouthfeel has high carbonation, the flavor is unbalanced with a yeasty onset and a near bitter finish. uncomparable to a belgian triple. i had high hopes but was disappointed with this

Bottle from Whole Foods, Sarasota,FL. Poured cloudy orange amber color with a large frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate fruity and doughy yeast aroma. Medium body. Medium complex balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. i would recommend this to a freind.

The aroma like most things about this beer is not exactly like most Belgian, but that does not keep this from being a great beer. The aroma has malt, alcohol, fruit, citrus hops, and yeast. The appearance is copper orange with some haze and a small head. The flavor is outstanding if not complex. The palate is chewy. Overall it’s great.

Quite an amazing accomplishment for a non-Belgian, Belgian beer. Rich and fruity wit h a strong but not overpowering taste. Its wonderfully thick with malts that dances around the palate. Well done, try this ASAP

Hazy orange with a very thin white head. Very mild aroma of honey-sweet malt and yeast. Taste of sweet malt and orangey citrus fading to a yeasty, herbal finish. Low end of medium bodied and a bit heavier carbonation than I expected. Not what I expected from a tripel at all. A bit of a disappointment actually, especially considering the price.

Bottled. Pours a hazy golden orange with a paper-thin white head. Not much aroma, but some light notes of caramel and grass appear. Medium body with minimal carbonation. Slightly sweet taste with some caramel and nuts, leading to an herbal and vaguely spicy finish. Not much going on here.

12 oz brown bottle. Pours orangey gold, fast vanishing off white head. Very light haze to the beer. Aroma is orangey and honeyish. Sweet malt flavours, caramel, orange notes, US hop flavours, slight grapefruity and herbal hop presence in the finish along with some alcohol, and very faint yeast. Medium bodied, light carbonation.

Not cloying or soapy like most of the abbey triples I’ve tried. Tangy sweet citris ( orange peel, pear, fig , grape?) alongside a dry hoppiness. My only objection was this single cost me 3.50 but I guess that is reasonable compared to some. The americanized versions of this style appear at least more accessible.
