7 oz bottle served cold in a snifter. Golden apricot yellow in color. Brief froth. Light wheat nose. Pilsneresque. Light-medium body and a little carbonation. Tangy, candy and wheat finish. Sticks around a while. Not overly complex, but refreshing at 8.5 ABV. The alcohol is well hidden.

12 ounce bottle in Chimay glass. Golden orange with ring. Minimal spice orange honey cardboard aroma. Orange marmalade cardboard slightly medicinal syrupy glue with slight.y spicy gluey alcohol finish. I’ve made extract homebrew tripels that tasted better than this, and I only made a dozen brews in my life. Lacks highly attenuated effervescent body and soft mouthfeel of good tripels and is sickly gluey with some off flavors of cardboard and alcohol.

Bottled. yellow/orange no head. Aroma is wine-like as well as taste. Also sweet and fruity aromas. Flavor is sweet and fruity and citrus with lots of booze. Unbalanced and out of control.

Pours clear gold with a medium head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is pretty typical of a triple. Mouth feel is a bit thick, but not quite syrupy. Flavor is sweet with some fruit and an off metallic taste. Al in all, not a very good triple.

Golden-yellow. Candy aroma, with a deacent amount of funk and a bit of hop. Mellow flavour for a triple. Not too hoppy, sweet or belgiany. Smooth in the the mouth. It’s pretty nice.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellowish gold with a medium white head. Aroma had notes of sweet malts, sugar cereal and yeast. Flavor was sweet as well with malt and yeast notes. A bit thick for my liking.
