Appearance: Pours a clear, golden-orange body topped by a thin, fizzy, white head.
Smell: Sugary aroma of sliced bananas and white grapes with lesser notes of pale malt, spice, peach juice, and yeast.
Taste: Pale maltiness with a full, sugary sweetness. Tastes of peaches, bananas, and white grapes present a nice fruitiness. Slight yeastiness. Very, very mild bitterness. Mulling spices on the crisp, fruity finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Well carbonated. Smooth texture.
Drinkability: In all honestly, Floreffe Tripel was a pleasant surprise and better than expected.

Oct 9, 2008 Pours hazy amber with a pillowy frothy head. The aroma has musty tripel malt, some cracker and light sweetness. Medium / light body with lots of prickly carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of banana esters, musty malt, lots of peppery spice and some sugary-ness that’s slick and lightly cloying. The finish adds some creaminess. An okay beer, but not a great example of the style.

Sep 17, 2008 From a 330ml bottle. The body is dark gold with some orange in it. The large foamy head was lightly offwhite and yellowish. The aroma had lots of fresh bread dough with some dried cherries. The taste was bread dough with some strong raisins in the finish. There was also a lightly floral related note. This is a big beer, but the alcohol is well hidden and the body was only slightly viscous.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear gold, thin off white head. Sweetish syrupy aroma. It’s a pretty restrained tripel. Some decent tripel fruit. Bit over carbonated. It’s as I say, a quite restrained tripel, no great character. But fine. Some decent sweetish fruit.

Sep 1, 2008 Bright cloudy orange with a medium size head that lingers around. Fruit and spice aroma. Very sweet taste, probably the result of unfermented cane sugar. (Ale Brewed with Cane Sugar) stated on the label.

Aug 31, 2008 33 cl bottle. Dense white head on top of a golden brown body.Aroma is equally spicy and fruity with coriander and pear, apple yeastiness. A bit phenolic with some bubblegum and a decent hop bite. Not up there with the good ones. Fresh, it’s a bit "hot" even though it’s only 7.5%.
