| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Bottled 33cl. It pours an almost clear golden beer with a huge head. Grainy nose which is reminiscent of apple, cork and acetone- poor. Sweet alcoholic taste. Some banana, arabic gum and glue showing up. Decent lacework. Strong carbonation. Metallic. Cloying sweet finish which is remininscent of apple and banana. I didn’t enjoy this beer.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 12, 2009 33cl bottle, as shown. Hazy golden yellow colour - big, fluffy white head that collapses rapidly but leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma of oranges and floral herbs, some hops. Carbonation is low, body medium, mouth feel creamy. This is a triple, like most of them are, for sweettooths. Taste is sweet orchard fruit, balanced by some acidity and spicy herbs, with the 9 % abv all too obvious in the boozy subnote. Dry, spicy finish and lingering after taste. Guaranteed too make you drunk - also, I guess, to make you happy. If you don’t like sweetish, boozy beers, steer clear of Abbey Tripels in general! Quinten (969), zaandam, Netherlands
