Draft at Max’s 72 Hour Belgian Beer Fest. Cloudy gold body. Nose is spice, floral notes, yeast, and dried fruits. Soft malts as well. Taste gets much more fruity and chewy as it progresses. More fruit notes, spices, grains, flowers and yeast notes. Body is medium-full with bubbly, dense carbonation. Ends with more fruit notes, a bigger yeast presence, more flowers and soft spice. Nice Tripel!

Jul 14, 2008 Hazy golden ale with a thick unctuous off white head light floaties in bottle. Aroma is lightly reminiscent of Orval, with the light Brett nose, herbaceous, light caramel, very dry. In mouth, a crisp malt with gummy residual sugar, extended coriander taste in mouth, good hops, medium bodied. A very decent tripel. Bieropholie imports, BB 28-03-10.

Jul 14, 2008 Pours a hazy amber color with an off-whte head. Aroma is of dark fruits, yeast, caramel, and some spices. Flavor is sweet with dark fruits and caramel right away. Finishes with spices and a little warming.

Jul 8, 2008 11.2oz bottle from a beer club. An overlooked entry in De Proef’s lineup. This one pours hazy gold-to-orange with some nice dry spices in the nose along with sweet fruits. Full body, decent carbonation, but I found this to have too many clashing flavors (booze, spice, malts) that could have been integrated to make this more than what it is - which is a solid but uninspiring tripel.
