MakeItDrinkIt (66), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 11, 2008 Hazy golden color with a medium slightly fluffy white head. Aroma is yeasty, grassy, lightly sweet, slightly spiced - bits of orange and cloves. Flavor is surprisingly dry for a big Belgian tripel. Spicy notes in great depth, assumedly at least in part from the yeast. Very nice complex beer that, though fairly dry, has nice fruity and never bitter qualities. gmonroe10 (172), Netherlands Jul 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours a a light amber with a large creamy white head. Sweet fruit aroma, no alcohol. Flavor is sweet as well, very prominent malt. Sweet dry quick finish. MrChopin (620), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours cloudy amber-gold with bubbly white head. Scents of bananas, pepper, yeast, and a dusty background. Dust reflected in flavor and coupled with sweeter malts. A sticky triple, which contrasts the dry character. An interesting tripel, but not one of my favorites. Lubiere (4462), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jun 30, 2008 A hazy golden ale with a thick creamy white head. A pleasant aroma of juniper, candy sugar and warming alcohol. In mouth, a spicy savoury ale with coriander, cream, warming alcohol and almost coconut like notes. Very interesting. Bieropholie import, tasted around May 2007. eboats (887), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jun 28, 2008 Bottled. Pours deep orange with some small light sediment pieces floating around and a white head. Aroma is banana, clove, slight hint of barbasol shaving cream, belgian yeast, and spices. Flavor is sweet belgian yeast, banana, and well spiced. Good solid body with a slight hint of barbasol throughout the experience. nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 27, 2008 11.2oz. Hazy golden pour with a white head. Spice and malt in the aroma. Hoppy and hugely fruity - apples, pear nectar, tangerine. Matching flavor - sticky and sweet. Decent finish. Nice beer. rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Jun 27, 2008 Light fruit malt aroma. Cloudy golden color with a large white head. Light beginning with a tangy and sweet middle. The sweetness fades in the finish leaving a strong tangy aftertaste. french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Jun 19, 2008 341ml Bottle
