Cloudy golden pour, with a soapy ring of lace - yeasty nose, with notes of candi sugar sweetness, light mustiness, clove and banana phenols, some citrus tanginess - the flavor is a bit messy - very sweet up front, followed by some grapefruit-like bitterness and soapy quality - moderate phenolic flavor and strong yeasty character - a bit of tartness, earthiness and oxidation on the tail end - sweetness comes back fairly strong, and some alcohol warmth settles in to the finish - a bit muddled and lacking balance, but not too bad.

Dec 23, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger: Hazy yellow pour with a tight white head. Has a great dry yeasty aroma giving off bread crust characteristics and a subtle herbal dryness. Silky on the palate. It’s also not sweet like many interpretations of this style. The body is dry and bready with a softly spicy herbal presence on the back. A well done Tripel.

Dec 21, 2009 Pours blond with a floral fruity aroma. The flavor is typical of the Belgian tripel style with a lot a yeast and fruit and some banana ester. Not bad.

Clear golden. Persistent creamy white head. Candy sugar lines the nose with lighter shades of lemon, alcohol, candy apples, gum, pear, puttylike yeast and unripe banana. Faint whiff of sulfur. Tight carbonation. Slippery bananalike fruitiness accompanies a candy sugar and sweet bubblegum fusion. Peppery alcohol lends some astringency which is amplified when it links up with the pervasive yeastiness. Body lacks dryness and crispness, and the prominent sweetness is prolonged by an overbearing baked-apple flabby twang. Floral hops possess some succulence yet there’s little in the way of brightness or explosiveness. Ghostlike malt lends a vanilla-cake-like quality which dovetails with the banana esters, further exaggerating the residual sugars. Closes with a dried pineapple suggestion and mild bite of sulfur. Aroma is curiously muted and also lacks yeast-derived nuance and vibrancy. Very similar to most triples out there in that it is too wet/limp/poorly attenuated. Decent.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Hazy orange with a small, staying, creamy, white head. Lovely milky notes amongst peach, oranges, some coriander, yeast, sweet maltiness. Medium carbonation, fine oily mouthfeel. Flavour is vinious (perhaps a tad too much?), peach, banana, maltiness, yeast. Quite fine, but it isn’t the best tripel I’ve had.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is weak, sweet, yeast, and not as much. The look is clear, light golden in color, and not too much head. The taste is sweet, candi, sugar, yeast, and slight fruits.

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle shared by argo0: Pours a transparent bright golden with a frothy well-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet biscuity pale maltiness with a touch of peppery clove. Starts with pretty good fullness and sweet pale maltiness with a hint of fruity esters and light spices before a slightly drier, floral bittersweet finish. A pretty true to style and enjoyable tripel.
