330 ml bottle. Slightly hazy, dark golden body with a small but dense off-white head. Fresh fruity and spicy aroma. Flavor is soft, sweet fruity with spices and a hint of caramel. Nice tripel.

(Bottle) Pours deep golden with a large, off-white head. The aroma holds malty tones of honey, nuts, light caramel and light marzipan. Fruity notes of sweet red apples, pears, canned pineapples, sweet lemons and bananas as well as hints of peppery and clove-like phenols. Light herbal hops and dusty yeast. The flavour is light to medium sweet and near medium bitter with tones of bread, nuts, honey, oranges, red apples, apricots, herbs and light clove. The mouthfeel is clean and light acidic with a light crisp carbonation. The finish is of alcohol, almond paste, honey and earthy herbs. Medium bodied.

Fruity aroma of malt and herbs. Fruity flavor as well. Although I think I like the dubble better.

Slightly cloudy, copper brown beer with big blond head. Aroma is quite complex: parfym, flowers, syrup, some alcohol and berries. Flavour is dryer than aroma, some alcohol, slightly musty and somehow too smooth without surprises. Quite easy to drink with nice carbonation. La Trappe Tripel is not bad beer but unfortunately it is insignificant and I can’t find reason why to buy this beer again, because there are much better beers available.

A nice golden amber ale with a thin off white head. Aroma of herbs, candy sugar, yeasts and orange peels. In mouth, a light sweetish malt with gin alcohol notes, a bit of coriander, and oily motuhfeel. Rich and smooth. Tasted April 25 2009.

33cl bottle, cloudy dark golden colour, creamy white head that quicky disappears, caramel malt aroma with spices and fresh citrus notes, sweet flavor with metallic notes, medium body, finish with some spices, a little weak for a trappist tripel

Pours a hazy amber with a two finger frothy offwhite head. The nose is very fruity, estery, lots of yeast character, spicy. The flavor is earthy upfront, prominent Belgian character, spicy, a little sweet, fruity, plum, alcohol starts to show. Palate is crisp and well carbonated, dry.
