22oz bottle thanks to Todd for the freebie.....a caveat as this is not one of my favored styles..... poured a crisp semi-transparent golden brown with a thin soapy white head. looked really nice!..... bananas, sweet tropical and light citrus fruit, and candied sugar in the aroma....not much to say about the flavor as it was consistent with the nose. a lively carbonated mouthfeel was a little too much for me and the general level of sweetness was a little high. not bad though for a tripel.

Aug 21, 2008 22oz bottle from hannont on 5/8/08/ Pours a cloudy yellow amber color. Excellent aroma, of a little bit of banana, some corriander. really nice. Taste is sweet, easy to drink. A bit orange zest melds with the sweetness. Excellent. Truly one of the best Belgian triples. A pleasant surprise. I feel no qualms about rating this much higher than the average.

Jul 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 9, 2008I really enjoyed this, very traditional, and true to style. A nice tribute to regional Belgian styles, and this brewery has it in spades. Lots of effervescent lighter fruits in this one, pears, grapes, and a light yeastiness, which mellows into a nice creamy mouthfeel. Very drinkable, finishing very dry on the palate.

Jul 19, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Produces a decent head atop a cloudy orange body. The orange is clearly noticeable on first aroma. This beer is surprisingly smooth and mellow considering its ABV. Not a huge fan of this variety but this stuff is OK.
