Nice, not as dry but more caramel and older apple. Pours a ruddy orange with a medium to small head. Much more yeasty and flat on the tongue than the dubbel and blonde. Tart but not sharp, more mellow and defined. Generally pleasant, good drinking tripel, but not a honed in taste as others I’ve tried. (Bottle Pour 4/2/2008)

the dryest tripel ive ever had, quite phenolic as well. . extremely fruity as well and hides the booze painstakingly. sweet but without overdoing it. nice and carbonated, which like the dryness is another saison quality.

Pours an orange/brown with a slight tan head. Nose is like red wine with notes of apple. Taste is of apple with notes of toffee and malt. Malty, wet, fruity finish with a very slight bitterness. A nice example of a Tripel.

Bottle. Fruity smell (cherry, red wine?), average malty. Medium sized white creamy head, fast diminishing. Red sparkling body. Moderate sweet start, light bitter finish, average duration. Medium body, dry and creamy texture, lively carbonation. Finally light astringent finish. Nice one, not one the best Trappist beers but a good one!

Pours dark orange, very fizzy with very little head. Fizz went quickly leaving it smooth to drink. Caramel malt nose. Tastes initially sweet then follows up with a nice bitter finish. Nice, but not the best trappist tripel.

bready yeast aroma with oranges and spice ... heavily carbonated ... malty sweet with a bitter finish ... aftertaste is a bit pastey with a light soapy film ... nice beer but I feel like I’m missing something

Muddy orangey brown sewage color with hardly any head. Ugliest tripel I have seen. Cotton candy and bubble gum nose. Thin, waxy palate. Malty, tropical fruit framework. Very sweet. Quite possibly an off bottle.
