This is a lighter, highly drinkable, yet complex and interesting tripel.
This is deep gold with a huge, airy, off-white head that shrinks slowly, leaving some decent lace.
Aroma is light fruit, grapes and grape juice, with wine, hints of herbs and bread, metal, faintly reminsicent of a maibock.
The taste is similar, but more interesting and complex, with lemon, white/green grapes, hints of raisin, herbs, bread crust, alcohol, with a bread-grain aftertaste. Body is light but complex, zesty, lively, crisp, and interesting. it is highly drinkable.

Dec 28, 2009 Poured hazy amber with a big head made up of loose foamy bubbles, I found this beer to be rather delicious with it’s light sweetness. The hops are not overly done and there is a slight fruit note to the beer. All and all an enjoyable beer.

Dec 21, 2009 With a swing and miss on Maredsous 8, I was slightly hesitant about giving this one a go but in the end it was really a damn good beer. It poured out of the stubby bottle a dark, cloudy orange body, a thick 2" creamy off-white head and beautiful lacing. The head had really impressive staying power too. Coming off the top of this thick head were huge wages of alcohol, flowers, honey, shortbread cookies, and light pitted fruit. Spicy bread notes, banana, alcohol, with a honey-like finish. The only thing negative to find was the overbearing carbonation found in many Belgian style beers and while some work well, this was manageable but it could have been worse. The beer really worked well over-all and is a nice beer to show someone the style of a tripel.

Dec 16, 2009 750mL. Pours a clear yellow with a large, off-white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma is macro-ish: grainy, sweet, a bit musty, corn., white sugar. Taste is earthy, lots of spice, some graininess, frosted corn flakes. Very different than I was expecting. Simple, clean, not too yeasty, sweet.

Dec 11, 2009 750 ml bottle. Clear copper pour with thin white head. Boozy yeasty aromas with a lot of grain and spice. Dry grainy taste with a nice warm spicy/peppery finale. Nice and warming.

Dec 10, 2009 Low on flavor. Dry aftertaste, some hoppines. Nice warming alcohol. Not a very special beer.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours a dark orange with a medium head. The aroma was fruits and malts with a hint of alcohol. The taste is almost the same as the smell but a little more bold. It has a very nice depth and just enough complexity... made me wish I had another. This is a Tripel but I thought it had that extra something dark beers have. Great beer.
