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

A clear orange/amber colored beer, with a white head. It disappears to fast (the beer was served,a little to cold). The aroma is malty, fruity and spicey coriander. The taste is bittersweet, with notes op spices. Some peaches in the back. A pleasant bittersweet aftertaste.

Overall a very good tripel. It pours a dark gold color with a very small white head. It has very distinct fruity (apple?) notes with a bitter and malty finish. I would drink this again, but it is not my #1, their Quad on the other hand... wow.

Poured with a large, off-white head. Best lacing I’ve seen yet. Deep amber color with just a slight haze. Initial smells of banana, then citrus, very hoppy. The flavor starts sweet but goes bitter with lots of hops. Creamy, medium body. Great beer to have around.

Dark plum colour, thick white long-lasting foam. Aroma of ripe fruits, grape, apple. Bittersweet flavour, figs and chocolate in the aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy dark amber with a thick creamy off-white head that goes away slowly leaving behind some fantastic lacing. Beautiful! Lots of aroma coming through. Caramel malt, fruit, spice, yeast, and grain. Similar flavor. Very sweet at first but turning bitter toward the finish. Really a good Trippel.
