Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours clear golden with a small very white creamy head - low duration. Aroma is pleasantly bready malts, some yeast and lightly vinious. A bit of exotic fruit notes as well. Quite high carbonation, but still quite creamy palate. Super sweetness, and very soft feel. Lots of chewy malts, light fruitiness and well-balanced alcohol. Good yeast tones as well.

Jun 22, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Rated on 3/17/08. Pours a cloudy, light golden color with one-finger white head. Good head retention. Aroma is floral in character with notes of citrus, faint juniper, and pine. Tastes sweet, hints of cotton candy, citrus tang, and lively carbonation. Quick, smooth, sweet finish. Very drinkable tripel style ale.

Jun 9, 2008 06/06 0.33 l bottle @ Hopdevil, Zagreb. Poured pretty hazy golden body with medium head that stayed up short. Weak aroma, yeasty (fruits) with some malts. Fruity bittersweet flavor, dominated by orange and sweet caramel. Hints of bread and peppermint like spices are felt as well. Alcohol is very neatly hidden, but surely noted at its 11%. Long, fruity, bitterish, just slightly alcoholic finish. Not bad at all, after I was disappointed by Donker, I got better than I’ve expected from this.

Jun 6, 2008 aroma - spices, cloves, yeast, some malt, flowers, honey
appearance - clear golden with a foamy white head
flavor - yeast, salt, honey, cloves, spices, some tartness and sweet biscuits develop with a slightly sweet buttery cracker-ish bitterness on the finish
palate- most redeeming quality of this brew. medium full body - yeasty, with just the right amount of carbonation
not the best tripel i’ve had. wish it was a little sweeter w/ more hop presence. i tend to like tripels to be more citrusy as well. not bad though. 11% alcohol is very well hidden.
overall pretty good and worth a try.
