Light orange with yellow and red tinge. A little hazy with tiny sediment dots. Good head. Nice honey, apple, caramel, toasty, and yeast aroma. Mild spicyness on taste and finish. Only a hint of alcohol. Soft and light palate leaving a quickly dissolving light honey coating on the tongue. Not just ompletely unoffensive but sublimely pleasant.

11.2 oz. bottle... pours a deep golden with a thick white head. some citrus and spicy aromas, but not as pronounced as I would like in a Tripel. nice medium body that seems to be quite even over the palate. full of citrus fruit flavors. overall a very good Belgian Tripel... but not one of my favorites. I was expecting a bit more out of this beer.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a very urky orange with a large, go figure, foamy white head that disipates but leaves a nice slick of white floating on top of the orange liquid that lies beneath. Tropical fruit, bananan and pineapple mostly, dominate the aroma with some yeasty notes and a slight touch of raisin. Medium bodied with very lively stingy carbonation and a slight metallic aftertaste. Flavor of bread, yeast, slight pepper and orange. The guy on the bottle is probably smiling because he’s wasted.

Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Slightly hazy pale orange with thick off-white head. Spicey aroma with a wierd tortilla smell, very light. Flavor is dough, orange, yeast, subdued alc. Sharp carbonation with medium body. A very standard and subdued tripel that might be a little too old.

Bottle at 3-små rum: Hazy golden colour, with creamy head. Aroma is typical belgium beer with lots of yeasty/fruity/flowery nose. Flavor is almost the same, with typical wheety mouth feeling. Nice medium body, and a medium fruity finish. Nice beer endeed.
