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.

Sep 14, 2006 Bottle at Paters’ Vaetje, Antwerpen. Orangey golden, hazy with an eggwhite-like head. Toffee aroma as well as some grassy hoppiness, even ryebread nose. Toffee and ryebread flavours and a good balancing bitterness. Good carbonation, dry mouthfeel, full-bodied. Not as clean as a traditional tripel, but a great beer nevertheless.

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.

Jan 24, 2008 Hazy dull yellow with a medium white head, dense. I left the last half-inch in the bottle as there were huge floculent particles in the sediment. Aroma of boiled pasta, bread dough, and alcohol. Malty creamy palate, predominantly bready flavour with floral notes and maybe a bit of lemon in the finish with alcohol steadily apparent. BBD of 2009, but something seems wrong with that. Disappointing to say the least.

Oct 19, 2006 Updated: Oct 29, 2006Smouldering bottle, elusive herbal nose. Misty apricot tulip with rocky froth that goes the distance. One sniff of this and I’m tripping across the cobbles, goggling skyward at the floodlit majesty of the Belfort and piddling against a church. Make no mistake, this is dangerous. But a beauty. Devilishly smooth malty booze and dry yeasty spice. Mysterious woody perfume. Distilled Orval with a wormwood chaser. Vague glowing numbness in the toes. Green Fairy shandy. Going for a lie down now.

Sep 21, 2003 This pours very nicely with a humongous puffy head. Pale and golden in color, with an aroma that is slightly musky and extremely citrusy. Very yeasty and doughy, with some fruit flavors coming through, dates and cinnamon mostly with some other flavors showing up as it warms.

Nov 27, 2008 750ml Bottle: Aroma of yeast, pears, nectar, light cloves, slight lemon, slight caramel, and slight pepper. Poured gold/yellow/light orange in color with a large, fluffy, creamy, white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Good lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet, lightly bitter, and very floral. Tastes of pollen, fruit, yeast, nectar, slight lemon, sugar, slight pepper, and slight tropical fruit. Medium body. Slightly sticky, slightly chalky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet, floral, pollen finish is lightly dry.

Oct 22, 2007 Updated: May 1, 2008Very cloudy, verging on murky. Big white head. Aroma of spiced stewed banana, some soap. Slight sour too. Palate is sticky, chewy, and tacky. Flavors are pretty nice, there is some spice to balance the sweetness. Gloriously average tripel!
