0.75 l bottle opened with big pop. Poured bit murky lighter orange body with big ebony head. Very nice, sweetish aroma of banana, orange, with some spicy fruits. Other component include some caramel malt and at last, typical Belgian yeast. Flavor is quite bitter, even for the tripel, but also sweet on the other hand. Fruity, as in aroma, full bodied and quite nice. Moderate carbonation. Finish is quite long, bitter. Very nice beer all in all, although I had better triples.

This poured golden hazy brown with caramel and orange hitting the nose. This is real smooth and great to drink anytime.

Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Clear dark amber with a mostly diminishing, small, creamy off-white head, leaving a fair amount of lacing. Lightly malty, moderate to heavy on the hops, some yeast. Caramel, perfume, orange, soap, broth bubble gum and chalk. Moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a short finish. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, alcoholic.

Pours an orange/brown with a slight tan head. Nose is like red wine with notes of apple. Taste is of apple with notes of toffee and malt. Malty, wet, fruity finish with a very slight bitterness. A nice example of a Tripel.

Gold-blond beer, small head. Aromas of fresh fruit. Tastes intense, dense, fruity, some honey, rasp or black berries? Nice finish,long-lasting.

Bottle. Clear golden amber body with a fluffy white head that lasts a while. Sweet, yeasty aroma with notes of caramel, lemon, coriander, molasses and clove. Flavour is sweet and spicy and is very similar to the aroma. Dry mouthfeel with a lots of carbonation, nicely hidden alcohol and a mildly bitter finish. Strangely, while being powerful and compelling, this beer is also a little boring and unadventurous. A very nice tripel all the same.
