The bottle poured an slightly cloudy amber liquid. This is a bottle conditioned beer so pour and handle carefully. The head was off-white, small and creamy but it didn’t last long and left no lacing. The aroma was of malt and a complex mixture of sweet and dried fruits. There were also notes of spice and clove. It had a medium body with a sharp bite of high carbonation and a smooth texture. The flavor begins sweet and moderately fruity with a carbonation bite on the tongue. As the flavor matures the alcohol warmth comes out and the finish is crisp, dry and long lasting.

Nose of summer fruits - apples and pears with caramel, sugar and yeast hints. Pours a golden yellow beer slightly opaque. Head is off-white and firm. Taste is malty with sweetness dominating the palate and a nice balance of hops. A vinuous aftertaste lingers. Great.

Bottle from Total Wine. Amber pour, a bit hazy with a nice white head. Aroma is very fruity...some bananas and some stone fruit. Flavor is quite good. Yeast, spice, banana and a slight bit of bitterness can be found.

Stonework bottel 0.5 l. Bought Kvickly Hilleroed. Color clear golden amber with white head. Pleasnat sweet raisinlike aroma with spicy notes - justa perfect note of corianter and alcohol. Taste is sweet,longlasting and slightly bitter, the coriander is by no means dominant but is present im a perfectly discrete way. Mouthfeel soft with nice carbonation. The classical deeds of the Benedicitins are kept in this beer - simplicity and love.

25 oz. bottle at local pizza pub. Very nice tripel spicy flavor. Darker than normal color. Really liked this one. Spicier than, but maybe not quite as full as Chimay white.
