I really liked the La Trappe brand beers I’ve tried, and thought this one was particularly good. It is darkest, maltiest tripel I think I’ve ever had, and it really suited this beer I thought. It was a dark amber color, particularly for a tripel. However, it was a brilliant body and an attractive appearance with effervescence floating consistently floating to the top of the glass. Aroma was very malty with some metallic smells and tripel-ish spice and light sweetness. Mouthfeel was a bit thin. But flavor was quite good - spice up front and lots of good malt taste. Not very much like other tripels I’ve had, but excellent. I would highly recommend this beer. I had this bottle at Waagstuk in Antwerp.

Cloudy amber color with a small off-white head. The aroma was very fruity...apples, pears, cherries...with a nice sweet malty English barleywine character to it. The flavor was very sweet, fruity, tea character in the aftertaste, and a noticeable alcohol warmth throughout. The feel was soft, but crisp...slightly thick.

Pours hazy golden orange with white head. Sweet fruity flavor with lots of Belgian yeast taste. Meduim body with lively carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. A well done, solid tripel.

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.

nice tripel. amber color , frothy head with lacing bottle conditioned and very hazy, yeasty stuff here. has a big citrus nose and a grapefruit quality tartness. very pleasant drinking from a underappreciated trappist brewery.

God bless the citrus. Actually, he, or she, probably did. nice allaround tripel. Pours an initial thick head. Other than the fruitfest, this will leave you a little chalky at the end. Not the best aftertaste.
