Nov 20, 2003 Considerable head indeed. Beautiful golden amber color with a sweet fruity and carmel aroma. Smooth fruity taste, with some spice to the end. Exelent drink for this late night.

May 24, 2003 Hazy amber w/ good head retention and lacing of white head. Sweet malty aromaa w/ floral & earthy hop aromas. Fruit and spice/clove aromas are very subdued. Malty sweetness in the initial flavor then switches to hop dominant flavors but overall well balanced with a dry and bitter finish. Aftertaste is fully hop and overall not a very complex flavor. Alcohol is barely noticeable and is light bodied due to higer carbonation. One of the more bitter tripels I've had and I have to say, it's not a favorite. My preference is for malty tripels and this is not one of them. Drinkable in my book, but I would prefer not to have a bitter tripel.

Jul 1, 2003 Mostly clear golden with a foamy head and some lace. Nose of bread and alcohol. A bit thin bodied for the style and with too much carbonation. Notes of earth and fruit (peach?). slightly piney hop presence in the finish. Not the best tripel but a damn good one.

Feb 10, 2008 Bottle, Cambrinus, Brugge. Slightly cloudy blonde, thin white head. Nose is sherberty, medicinal, some sweet funkiness. Weird warmness. Mouth is long, sweet, slightly metallic, sweet fruit. Some maltiness. Odd for a tripel. Not a fan though.

Sep 5, 2004 750 ml. big ’ole brown Belgian bottle. Corked and caged. No freshness date seen, either on bottle or cork. Greasy feeling composite cork. Loud pop forcefully ejected the cork into my hand.
Good thing I was ready for it. It has a very high level of carbonation, almost like a dry champagne. It poured out a deep golden yellow color, with a humongous white head. The head was loose and frothy, not tight like some triples. Aromas are of sweet Timothy hay, slight caramel cream aromas, and some yeasty bread. No hops aromas, but it has a very slight hops bite in the middle of the flavors. Flavors are of light caramels, some slight candi sugars, sweet pilsener malts, and of course, the yeast. Gentle vanilla flavors as well. Not much in the way of phenols, cloves or bubblegum. Gentle fruitiness to it, not overpowering at all. Finishes rather in the middle, neither sweet nor dry. Medium mouthfeel, coats the tongue for a brief second, then disappears. No alcohol aromas or flavors. A really decent triple, one of the best I’ve had.
If it were a little less expensive, this would make for a very good everyday beer.
