Bottle. Pours iwht a brown color and a medium head. Aromas of a typical Belgian, yeast and a bit of citrus. Flavors of dough, fruit and some spiciness. Very highly carbonated hence more refreshing than most triples.

labeled as Koningshoeven tripel. Pours a dark apricot, head quicky recedes to a pleasant film. Nose is yeasty with dried fruits, apricot, orange. Slightly syrupy. Nice flavors of sweet and tart fruits. Banana, dark berry. Warming, not overbearing alcohol. Decent hop bite. Very nice tripel.

Bottle. Pours a orange/brown color. Medium frothy white head, but dissipates quickly. The aromas is sweet, fruity, and spicy. Mouthfeel is syrupy in texture, with a taste of yeasts, fruits, and some maltiness. Full bodies with a dry spicy finish. I liked this better than the quad.

Pours a golden amber wih a thin foamy white head. Fruity aroma consisting of cherries, apple, honey, innamon and alcohol. Sweet tasting with hints of cheries, honey, apple, pear, maltiness and alcohol. A nice balance of sweetness, maltiness and alcohol with a slighlty bitter finish.

Beer pours deep gold/orange with a thick, uneven, gorgeous off-white head. The aroma is very malty, yeasty, and bready - hints of spice. The taste begins very sweet. The middle of the flavor asserts some mild hop flavor and some fruit (hints of prune). The finish has a little more hops, lots of malty sweetness, yeasty goodness, some spice (nutmeg, cinnamon), and alcohol. The beer is a bit heavy, but the mouthfeel is lightened by the carbonation (not syrupy). The finish is long, sweet, and warming.

Very strong and quite complex flavor with fruits and spices. a little aggressive in mouth, too much carbonation, but when it settles the beer is very enjoyable.

750 mL bottle. Hazy copper with a small but short-lived white head. The aroma is very appealing: tart fruit, toffee, spice, alcohol and citrus. Flavour is more sweet than tart, with fruit and spice hiding most of the alcohol. Medium full with surprisingly little finish. Still a damn fine adult beverage.
