TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Feb 29, 2008 Wow, crisp abbey tripel! Pours hazy yeloow color with barley any head. Smells of fruits and tastes of fruit, malts, and alcohol. Funky good beer! jehoey (766), Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 29, 2008 Sampled in Nancy, France: Came from the tap golden and with a very slight haze, and a white head, that laced nicely on the glass. Aroma was of spice, some banana esters, and alcohol. Flavor was the same, estery, with some spice and a hint of alcohol. medium and bubbley on the mouth feel. Excellent triple. nomad (12), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Feb 24, 2008 Bottle again from Belgian Belly. This looks amazing, a shining, clear gold with a snow white head and thin stream of bubbles. Like a dream advert for beer, clearly in top nick. Medium bodied and slightly fizzy in the mouth. Big fruity wafts of mango, passion fruit, banana and orange which are all present in the taste along with pineapple, fresh bread and sprucey hops. Good dry, hoppy finish with the alcohol well concealed. This is some good beer! nigos (620), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Feb 23, 2008 Slightly clouded amber hue with decent white creamy head. Orange and yeast nose which is also present in the flavour with malt amd other fruity hints. Not a great deal of after taste, fairly short in the finish. bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Feb 22, 2008 Bottle, split with after4ever. Pours a cloudy dark gold with a lacy white head. Aroma of fruit with sweet citrus hints. Creamy medium body, light carbonation. Sweet caramel apple and candy taste that dries out in time for the finish. alafito (334), tijuana, Mexico Feb 19, 2008 I guess i got a bad one. Mine had a strong taste of sour milk, and was very yeasty. I hope to rerate again soon. scrizzz (1252), kirkland, Washington, USA Feb 18, 2008 wow, bubble gum aroma surrounded by yeast. pale gold. chewy hubba bubba initial flavor, pineapple and melon. farmhouse finish after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Feb 17, 2008 375, capped. No foil. Pours a beautiful cloudy medium ambr with a puffy, pillowing, billowing platinum blonde head. Highly sweet and floral perfumy nose with lots of green apple. Medium body with some fizz. Beautifully considered nut and toast notes envelop those floral green apple bits to comprise the mid-palate. Long apple and walnut finish. Tastes like Christmas candy. Not anywhere near the cleanest or crispest tripel I have had, but a pleasure to drink and definitely beautifully done. I guess this just falls on the sugary end of the tripel spectrum.
