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.

Poured a dark copper color with a quickly diminishing head. There was always some foam however from it being so efferevesent. Aroma of fruit, alcohol, and maybe a little cardboard. Flavor is sweet and lightly fruity with spice and alcohol on the back end. Medium bodied and fizzy on the tongue. A good amount of banana aroma is noted as this beer warms.

duvel tulip glass: dark copper body. very rocky and tight white head. medium to full body - more so, medium. slightly cremey palate rides a spicy and refreshing banana-like fruitiness. sweet and smooth while a little bit yeasty. a crisp, smooth, and mild belgian indeed. i really like it. / UPDATE: big ol’ plaster-ceramic type pottery style bottle bought imported in okinawa, japan... same beer; been sampling a lot recently, don’t want to add any new insights, but only that the bottle was different.

bottle - Pours cloudy amber with a substantial head and a sweet, yeasty aroma. It’s lively on the palate and sweet in flavor with the yeast apparent and not much alcohol noticeable. It struck me as oddly thin for a tripel, which was the main negative point. This beer is a good one, but I’ve definitely had better tripels.

Pours a hazy amber with a two finger frothy offwhite head. The nose is very fruity, estery, lots of yeast character, spicy. The flavor is earthy upfront, prominent Belgian character, spicy, a little sweet, fruity, plum, alcohol starts to show. Palate is crisp and well carbonated, dry.
