Bottle, The pour is orange colored. Aroma of citrus and some hop along with an overpowering smell of spice mainly clove, very good aroma. The taste is spicy with slight citrus. As it warms it becomes more creamy. I think this is very underrated at an 80. I would definitely buy again. This is one of the best abbeys I have had.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Sorry, this just didn’t work for me. Poured a murky orange. Hard to detect much aroma. Flavor was malty, with overpowering sour apricot notes and alcohol. Love the Green Flash West Coast IPA, but will pass on this. My girlfriend liked it, but she’ll have to rate it herself.

does not count  Aug 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a somewhat cloudy golden color, medium off-white head leaving some lacing. Clove, and fried plantain aroma? Sweet, malty taste balanced by some bitter hoppiness. Good, medium bodied mouthfeel with decent carbonation. A solid trippel, but nothing to write home about.

Aug 18, 2008 golden, slightly orange color with a thick white head. mild aroma, some clove and candied sugar. mild to medium flavor - tending towards a sweet mouthfeel. I think this would score a lot higher of the pepperiness of the Saaz was increased a bit.

Aug 17, 2008 Light golden pour, thin head, maybe a lace or two. Aroma was slightly haylike. The flavor was an apple/banana malt base with a mild hoppiness and some zing from the hops. Not overly sweet and more dry on the tongue. No problems or flaws and pretty drinkable, but not going to knock any socks off either.

Aug 13, 2008 The beer pours an orangey amber color with a thin off white orange amber head, the beer is clear and highly filtered. The nose is grassier and hoppyer then I would have thought. The taste is slightly yeasty with heavy hints of hay and hops. This a good triple but a little hoppy for what I look for. Leave it to some boys from CA to hop up a Belgium triple.
