Bottle: Poured a nice deep golden color with a barrier wall of tiny white bubbles protecting it. The aroma is fruity and yeasty. Nice and subtle balance of flavors present themselves here ... first a bit of spice, then the yeast as it settles, and finally an almost lagery malt base comes through at the very finish. Fine beer, if a bit subdued. (#3041, 7/28/2007)

Pours a golden colour with a medium white head. Aroma is clovey with a background of citrus and spices. Initial taste is yeasty, clove, and fruity malts. Medium Body. Palate fades well, but not long lasting. Great lacing of the glass.

golden with quickly disappearing head. very smooth texture, the same hops and fruits as most tripels, but not enough alcohol to make it really good

Pours a dense white head that retains very well and leaves good lacing. The aroma resembles clove, spice and citrus. The yeasty flavours overwhelm this beer, but fruity and floral esters are still appearent. Also, there is a bit of lemon citrus. Slightly metallic. The carbonation was not as much of a CO2 bomb as other abbeys and the body was a bit thin. Spritzy. Not enough alcohol for a tripple. Pretty expensive stuff at $12 a six pack.

Bottle -- Large white head with good retetion and good lacing. Rich honey colour. Quite light aroma with citrus and spices. Medium palate with average carbonation. Flavour is a lot like a witbier with quite a bit of citrus and spice. Not a lot of alcohol warmth considering. Not at all bad but too expensive in Oz.

Quite yeasty and sweetish, floral notes, lemons and citrus, not overly phenolic, doesn’t show its strength, clean. great lacing.

Meno pretenziosa della Grimbergen Tripel, però allo stesso tempo molto più sbevacchiona, piace abbastanza senza però colpire troppo. Può andare bene così en passant; comprata mio padre alla Coop.
