| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 24, 2007 This Abbey Tripel pours a light orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty and a touch of alcohol. A medium bodied triple. Malts are orange and fruity. Some herbal and floral flavor aspects as well. Nice balance. There is a very pronounced alcohol flavor, without being very alcohol hot. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of alcohol burn. rshah16 (39), Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 13, 2007 Appearance: Pours a bright, light yellow body with great clarity and a thinnish, off-white head.
Smell: Aroma of candied fruit and lemon peel kneaded into a lightly sweetened dough. Also, as one would expect, there’s a little alcohol in there, too.
Taste: A tart, fruity apple kick upfront fades into a light grainy sweetness with some clove spiciness. Finishes dry and sour.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Slightly syrupy.
Drinkability: I’ve got to acknowledge that something seems a bit amiss with this one. Maybe that something is me. shp555 (1690), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 10, 2007 Bottle. Love the name (and its history). Cloying candis and a very Belgian yeast in the aroma. Sedimenty golden body with firm carbonation and a soapy white head. Prominent alcohol in the taste, but not too harsh; the sweetness is backed off significantly from what was expected by the nose. Highly carbonated, medium body is crisp and finishes with a little booze. Touch of oiliness. Could use more malt, and the yeast could better shine through in the mouth a bit more. Avg tripel.

Limpid blond body topped with an average white foamy/creamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma. Taste is complex and hides the alcohol very well. It carries floral, fruity and yeasty notes. Ends with a long, robust, warming finish. Very enjoyable!
