Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark May 5, 2007 Golden, hazy with an incredibly nice and lasting head. The aroma is sweetish with notes of fruit and malt. The flavour is sweet with notes of candy sugar, fruit - especially lime. The alcohol is a bit too dominating, but it’s a really nice trippel. ScoWRee (275), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA May 4, 2007 Pours golden with a thin white bubblie head. Aroma is fruity, malty and honey.Taste is crrip, sweet. buuteerscotch. Nicly carbinated. Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 23, 2007 Updated: May 22, 2007Almost clear blonde body topped by a long-lasting medium white head. Thick body with lots of crisp malts. Alcohol is apparent. Main flavours are cereals, honey and alcohol with a touch of caramel and some aromatic grassy and floral hops with no bitterness at all. Sweetness level is average. Enjoyable well put together beer with a nice mouthfeel. Despite all its qualities I found it rather simple although the aromatic floral hops kept me entertained. The foundation of a great triple is there and it could acheive that status if given a little more complexity (spicy twist, fruity notes, something...). Still this was very good, basic, reliable and effective, this beer is to tripels what steak & fries is to fine cuisine. FrankJohansen (3329), Sabro, Denmark Apr 21, 2007 Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a huge moslty lasting creamy white head. Rich aroma and taste of malts, fruits, orange, and hops. Creamy palate. TheBeerBaron (218), Florida, USA Apr 21, 2007 Bottle. Murky gold color like an unsettled wort. Frothly white head that isn’t going anywhere. Carbonation is there, but hard to see through the cloudiness. Aroma is packed with honey, nutmeg, orange peel, an other assorted spices. A tingly flavor leaning toward citrus and nutmeg but a fair amount of hops to balance the sweet. What your left with is a warm alcohol finsih like a good brandy. Admirably light palate handling the 9% alcohol with ease. A quencing brew that will warm you up and make you smile. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Apr 20, 2007 On Tap @Toronado on 3/30/07. Pours straw with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet with candied sugar. The taste was also sweet but also slightly hoppy. Very good tripel. Carl99Fan (186), Suwanee, Georgia, USA Apr 19, 2007 Poured into Trappist glass. Deep gold color, lacing present. Well formed slightly off-white one finger head that quickly dissipates. Perfumy aroma. Slightly malty flavor with hops dominating. Medium bitterness. I don’t notice the alcohol. Not bad, but I’ve had better tripels. LinusStick (1830), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 18, 2007 On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. Nice tripel that I have been waiting a while to try. Pour was a cloudy gold with a finger head. Aroma was sweet and yeasty. Taste was strong and different than I’ve had for a tripel. Tasted like a yeasty dry Belgian with crushed up Fruity Pebbles in it yet had some citrus and lemon in the background. Perfumy in the mouth and in the swallow. This is a unique beer.
