Trappist beer from Holland, this should be excellent. Slightly hazy orange with an especially strong aroma of fruits, slight alcohol and sweet candy; I really like this smell. The taste is complex, spicy, fruity, very good. This is a very nice tripel. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-15-2007 16:42:29

Bottle at the Headkeeper. Pours a hazy orange-gold, off-white head doesn’t stick around long. Aroma is vague fruit, yeast and malt notes. Flavor is more of the same, add in some caramel, though there is a little kick of spice hidden in there.Finish is soft and dry.

330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Righ orante, brief frothy head. Apple, pear and a touch of peach in the aroma. Lively carbonation, alcoholic vapours in the mouth. Simple sweet malty body, touch of alcohol, but not actual burn. Dry tingly hops. Uninspired. Possibly the worst Trappist beer I’ve ever encountered.

12 oz bottle served in a tulip. Pour was a dark copper with two fingers of slightly off-white head. Nose is candied sugar, apples, pears, grapes, and Belgian yeast. Taste is Belgian yeast, apples, and a bit of sugar. This beer comes off much light than I expected. It is quite tasty, but the fruit salad, also known as the aroma, is my favorite part.

Bottle. Hazy dark orange-amber color with a huge frothy white head. Very estery aroma with banana, spices, bubbleum notes and yeast. Sweetish-spicy flavor with fruity esters, some candies and a slightly drier finish with a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Nice.

bottle, orange/yellow colour and white, small and unstable white head. Smell: very fruity. Taste: fruity, sweet, mild bitterness, yeasty and alcohol taste. It’s a good tripel but not a topper like the st bernardus and the karmeliet.

Orange/light amber unfiltered. Nice disappearing head. Aroma: Some sweetness, some alcohol. Aroma less strong than the La Trappe Blond, but similar. Not very interesting. Not bitter. Just watery. Not dry. Alcohol not strong. Watery, a little fizz. Mouthwatering. Neutral. Purchased in SuperBest.
