Re-rate. Sampled at the Koninsghoeven pub. This one is MUCH better fresh. Very smooth and refreshing. Didn’t have the hot alcohol bite like the first sample I tried. Spice is clearly coriander which I find very tasty. Yeast delivers some fruity flavors too(banana?). I could drink a lot of these.

Too red. Smeels horribly of hard candy and rotten fruit. Way too sweet. Tastes better than smells. So sweet. So rancid.

Bottle, pours filtered amber with a tall white head. Looks great and smells biscuity with some malt and floral hops. Light alcohol and very malty in the mouth the finish is nice and bitter but not overly. Mouth is crisp with moderate carbonation. Nice tripel.

From bottle, red wine glas. Konongshoeven is not the best trappist brewery but not the least good either. Creamy nice head, fully lasting with nice sparkling and lively carbonation. Amber orange body. This is a nice tripel, the nose beeing hay, citrus, grape, orange and even more Seville orange. Apple, coriander, honey, hints of green cheese. Spicy and complex. Medium to full body, dry and a bit on the watery side. Inital sweet and bitter taste finishing in a medium sweet, light acidic and light bitter flavor. The only dutch trappist tripel is better then many belgian tripels not really a world wonder but still sexy. Cheers
