Feb 25, 2009 Draught at Brasserie Beck. Golden with a lasting white head. Spicy, dusty, and fruity aroma with pear and spiced apple skin. Some pale malt sweetness going into a dry and spicy finish. Light pear fruitiness and other yeast flavors add to the flavor, but it’s really simple and elegant. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. This handily routed Westmalle in a head to head. The alcohol is well integrated and masked, but adds to the dry and peppery finish that makes this welcome sip after sip.

Feb 19, 2009 Smooth and creamy, very sweet, subtle yeasty sourness, but not extremely spicy. A thin white head. Golden color, but very cloudy. Served a bit too cold at the Yard House in Pasadena - gulp - I was told by the waitress that she’s never had anyone order this, so I guess I could be tasting a bit of a stale beer here...

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle @ Zolder, Bruges. Yellow to orange and almost clear beer. The head is huge, white in colour and rocky. The aroma is floral, citrusy, sweet and spiced (coriander, orange peel). The flavor is fruity, medium sweet and bitterish. Dryish finish with herbal hoppy notes. The palate is silky, low carbonated and medium bodied. Supremely easy and pleasant to drink.

Feb 2, 2009 33cl bottle from BevMo. Dark "gouden" color with a small off-white head. Nose of yeast, funk, and banana. Flavor is yeasty and slightly sour with green apple, lemon, and alcohol. Smooth palate. Not the greatest tripel, but an interesting one.

Feb 2, 2009 Very dark for a tripel, this is definitely an old bottle. Ruddy red-brown with a thin off white head. Notes of oxidation, fortified wine, and alcohol in the aroma. Taste is thin, more cardboard and oxidation, some spice, a light yeasty fruitiness.

Jan 18, 2009 Banana and straw in the nose. Pours golden with a large foamy white head. Bottle overflowed with foam upon opening. Flavor is very nice, very easy to drink despite the 9 percent abv. Yeasty, straw, and fruity on the palate. Great beer.

Jan 18, 2009 Gouden is a pleasant surprise. A yellowish color and long everlasting head. The taste is very appealing and palate equally too much.
