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 - 330ml. Hazy amber body with average carbonation and a thin off-white foamy head. Very enjoyable malty/hoppy aroma with various fruity hints. Its hoppy taste is well balanced and carries sweet, plummy, and oaky notes. It ends with a long and warming bittersweet finish. Good Tripel.

Nice opaque deep golden darkened yellow color, a lighter peachy tone that has lots of little floaty things suspended in its haze. Small whitish head thats loose and fluffy and fades pretty fast and lace is in drippy strings and spots. Smell is a subdued mellow mix of very dulled melons and lemon with some yeasty grab and a nice spicyness and alcoholic warmth over lays. Taste is quite quenchingly yummy and mellowing. Nice mild citrus of dullish lemon, melons, and dried orange and apricot all have a certain impressionable mix and lightly souring tartness kick thats mostly upfront. Hops add to the boost some, then it begins to fade some as it reaches farther past midway. Just after midway it mellows out with some spicyness and lingering lightly into the finish with some malty chewyness and more dulled citrus mix. Solid medium body feel with some creamyness at first, picking up a small surge on its way to a mellowing smooth and lightly chewy sweet finish. Not overly complex but very enjoyable, a nice drinkable thickness and lush feeling as it begins to warm after half a glass or so. Makes for a nice relaxing glass full of delight.

Dark fruits on the nose, prunes, and raisons with candi sugar. Pours a dark blonde almost amber with a thick white head. Caramalized sugars, unrefined sugars, slightly caramelly with light fruits, green raisons, apple skins, malty with a spicy finish. Overall a good beer!

Not too dark of a color for a tripel. Nice yellow fruit aroma with a bit of dry yeastiness. Flavor follows nicely.
