Apr 4, 2004 Attractive golden color with a nice fluffy off white head that is nicely retained. Aroma is wonderful. Figs, candy sugar and spices meld in a delicous melody of scents. Flavor is complex. Initial flavor is kinda harsh hairspray, then everything settles out and the finish is deliciously spicy. Very nice mouth feel. Very good Abbey Tripel.

Jun 17, 2007 Pours into the chalice a hazy golden-orange color. Produces a beautiful thick, dense pillow-like head with superb retention. An intricate lacing pattern of foam adheres to the sides of the glass. The nose is a bit muted, but with pleasant fruity notes of pineapple, banana, vanilla wafer cookies and honey in the forefront. A faint touch of yeast, light malts, spice and perfume linger in the background. Mouthfeel is perfectly balanced between the velvety smooth and creamy texture of a big beer and the expected tingle of CO2 from a Belgian Ale. Flavor profile a bit more assertive than the aroma. Starts out with a fruity, malty sweetness; very much like the nose. Then gradually moves into a slight peppery, spicy alcohol presentation and finally finishes with a somewhat surprising, but slightly astringent moderately bitter hoppy finish. All in all a solid Triple save for the slightly distracting finish. I’d definitely go back for more.

Feb 2, 2004 Cloudy dark yellow color with a huge small bubbled head that takes forever to settle. Spicy aroma with light fruits (apple). Full bodied and a bit fizzy on the tongue. Ends lightly sweet with an oak wood flavor. Long mellow ending.

May 12, 2003 Bottled at the Danish Beerfestival 2003:
A creamy and smooth triple. Nice laceworks. Lots of fruit and yeast. Very drinkable despite of the high ABV

Oct 7, 2003 On Tap in Paris. Citrus and fine bread aroma. Hazy golden appearance, white head, lace and more lace. Flavours of orange, pomegranate, grapefruit and pears. Very light bodied, good tongue tingle. Wonderful, and in a 1 Litre Glass!

Feb 9, 2003 I like this brewery, and this is a nice triple. Malty, as is characteristic of Het Anker's brews. Beautiful deep golden color, and the head is just the right size, hence the 5 for appearance. Soft mouthfeel, and the alcohol is well integrated into the overall flavor. A class act.
