12 oz. bottle in trade from daknole- thanks! Served in trappist glass- poured transparent golden, whisps of white globs on top of the surface for a head that showed some lacing, very little carbonation. Aroma of ripe fruit, yeast, and a few hops. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt tastes very light but is enjoyable, fruit sensations come in the middle, finish is surprisingly crisp. Really enjoyed this one!

This belgian ale is extremely smooth, especially for a triple (which I wasn’t even aware of while drinking it!). It had a beautiful rich yelllow color and was very easy on the palate. I contributed this case to my last exchange.

Nice golden colour with a fluffy big head which takes a good length of time to disappear. Great clean finish.

Gloudy gold with a large white head. Hops and malt seem very well balanced. Clean finish.

12 fl. oz. bottle coded: 27030L0865B. Pours an amber color with a good supply of white, fizzy head. Definite aroma of yeast on the nose. That seems to be the overpowering element altough I notice a little bit of overripe fruit and also alcohol. Taste has a little bit of fruit in it and alcohol. This has a little punch to it. When I drink these Abbey Ales with recipes dating back to the 12th-13th Centuries, I can’t help but to wonder if the Templar Knights or the Crusaders drank something similar when they were reaking havoc all over Europe.

Golden with white head. Aroma: Lots of hops, very fruity with hints of citrus , very sweet (very Belgian). Even though it was a quite sunny day, I think it works better on an even sunnier day. I prefer Grimbergen dubbel to this one.
