A nice tripel. Aroma is light fruits, sweet and spicy, peppery with a nice floral scent. Appearance is a deep golden orange in color, huge amounts of head. Mouthfeel was a little too harsh and thin for my liking. Flavor is sweet malts, light fruits with an alcoholic kick.

murky cloudy off brown color w/ a small light off tan head w/ some decent lacing. Extremly overripe fruit scents some plums and spoiled apple skin tons of candied sugars, oversweet. Palate is lightly fizzy fairly full bodied. Flavor is bad carmel and rotten fruits w/ some candied sugars. Never again.

A delight! Intense coloration. Dense and persistent cream. Weak, but aromatic. In the palate, present flavor of red fruits and banana. Incredible aftertaste, candy and fruity, perhaps optimum of this blond one. Good carbonation. The alcohol is a little strong excessively, but it does not confuse the set.....................................PORTUGUÊS: Uma delícia! Coloração avermelhada intensa. Creme denso e persistente. Aroma fraco, mas marcante. No paladar, sabor presente de frutas vermelhas e banana. Retrogosto incrível, doce e frutado, talvez o melhor dessa loira. Carbonatação bacana. O álcool é um pouco forte demais, mas não atrapalha o conjunto.

Álcool muito presente. Carbonatação que me incomodou um pouco. Levemente amarga. Pouco creme, tendo se perdido logo no início. Aroma fraco. Cor bonita (avermelhada). Faltou um melhor balanceamento na sua composição e também uma certa personalidade.

Amber colour with a big and tanned foamy head. Yeasty, sweet caramel aroma with raisins. Fruity flavour with hints of raisins, licorace and sourness. Dry long fruitish aftertaste. Smooth palate.

Pours a honey color with a thin tan head. Aroma of fruit and malt. Tastes sweet. Light carbonation a little bitter and slightly spicy.

Bottle (from Bitter Virtue, BB Jul 08). Deep coppery orange colour. Fruity yeast and coriander on the nose. Well rounded mouthfeel slightly creamy but not overly sweet. Some hints of bitter zest in the mouth with more summer stoned fruits. A full and tasty tripel perhaps more suited to drinking incolder weather than many but I would prefer it to feel just a touch more bright and breezy.

Pours golden brown with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty, with some fruity smells as well as a slightly metallic odor of some kind. Taste is malty and sweet, with a slightly fruity, bitter aftertaste. Besides the metallic smell it is very good, of course I am using a gold rimmed trappist glass, but have never noticed this before when using it. Still a good tripel, just not the best.
