Sep 28, 2007 Medium-sized, frothy, white head slowly relaxes atop a clear, light golden hued body. Aroma is full of bananas (almost a baby food quality), pepper, sweet apples, pineapples, honey and peaches. With some warmth, a slight grainy tinge appears. The aroma feels a bit underpowered for a Tripel, but then, the alcohol is far from the normal mark. The flavour is moderately sweet as would be expected, with a light apple-like acidity at the beginning. The finish fades out fairly quickly, sweet and short, lacking the spiciness or brush of alcohol necessary to make it exciting. Medium bodied with lightly tingling carbonation and slick texture. Anyway, this is more of a session blonde than a Tripel in my opinion. I don’t care about that score-wise, though. Never exciting, but easily drinkable. 50cl can, Duvel tulip, bbe 06/08.

Sep 17, 2007 Pours huge foam head - disappears quickly. Notes of honey, orange and spices - very nice. Typical bottled fermented aroma. Light mouthfeel. Some malt, complex with some alcohol present. Some sweetness and a short dry finish.

Sep 16, 2007 Tripels are odd ducks to me, the fact that they are lighter than dubbels is odd. This one was nice, pale with a thick white head. Bananas in the nose. Palate tasty with some oranges in there.

Sep 11, 2007 nice gold appearance with small white head, which left a great lacing. detected a hint of apricot in the aroma, but not enough to make my mouth water. enters smooth and goes down smoother. excellent taste, that hinted at white grapes, and a slight wheat after taste. was pleasantry surprised with this brew as I don’t generally like Belgium or "white brews."

Sep 11, 2007 Had on tap, aroma is pleasant, typical of a Belgian Abbey Ale, surprisingly smooth, was excellent cold and didn’t need time to warm up. Dry finish, quite enjoyable.
