Bottle. Hazy amber colour with a nice mostly lasting white creamy head. Rich fruity and malty aroma and taste with spicy notes. Good trippel.

A solid effort from the Trappists of Tilburg. Not as stunning as their Quadrupel, but a fine, spicy tripel that is balanced with a very mild sweetness. Very good with spicy food.

750ml bottle. Aroma: Yeast, light grape and spice. A strong sweetness throughout. Alcohol comes forward as it warms. Appearance: Deep golden/amber in color and murky. White head was full and frothy with good retention. Good lacing. Flavor: The sweetness really hits me first and lingers. Caramel, yeast, apples, spice, and alcohol. Palate: Medium-full bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Light alcohol warming in back of mouth. Overall: Too sweet for me. Flavors were nice, but it just didn’t work for me.

Bottle, aroma, very yeasty, quickly dissapating head. Malty alcohol is only noticible as it warms, not as a fruity as the nose is which in my opinion is a plus, as I prefer a drier triple. This one is a bit sweet but not to sweet. It a Ok triple.

bottle - Pours cloudy amber with a substantial head and a sweet, yeasty aroma. It’s lively on the palate and sweet in flavor with the yeast apparent and not much alcohol noticeable. It struck me as oddly thin for a tripel, which was the main negative point. This beer is a good one, but I’ve definitely had better tripels.

Heavier than most tripels. Sweet taste to it. Malty. Not exactly what I want in a tripel, but nice.

Had this beer on 5/5/2007. Aroma is light with a faint hop nose. Carbonation is very good with a nice tight head. Color is a deep golden Taste is rich and creamy. Starting with a full body it goes down easy with a smooth/fizzy feel that makes it come across creamy. Finish comes in easy with a nice yet rich malty flavor that is backed with a yeast flavor that has mellow fruit tones and mild hop spice and even bitterness. This is a well balanced all the way around and is one of the best Trappist brews I have had.
