Very very foamy, spurted out of the bottle. Nice looking triple with some hints of nuts. Not too much alcohol and not too bitter. Nice Triple.

Pours a nice pale amber with a nice bubbly head and plenty of funky belgian yeast in the aroma. Flavor is fruity with a nice sourness...the high abv is well hidden. Very nice tripel.

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a mightily fizzy white head. Nice lacing. Nose is spicy bananas, citrus/lemon, creamy malt, pepper. Palate is more banana peel, white pepper, lemon juice, candy floss, yeast. Long, mildly boozy finish. A classic example of the style from a trusted brewer.

Tripel’s not my fave but this one is good. Huge head (possibly cause this was cellared 6 months), foamy, left foamy blotchy lacing. Hazy, cloudy, partially with bubble action. Yeasty, bananas, spices, soft palate initially, then a bit sharper, a good deal of body there. Bananas, malt, a bit of alcohol. Outstanding.

Single bottle into an abbey glass. Delicious and fruity flavor, but the flavor isn’t quite strong enough to really knock me dead.

Wheat, hay, and lemon aroma. Hazy yellow, thick white head, nice lacing. Quality malt and grass flavor. Drinks like a helles. Something is wrong, this is unlike any Tripel I’ve ever had. "Pales" in comparison to 12.

On tap at the White Horse, London. A hazy yellow beer with a big fluffy white head. Fruity Belgian aroma. Tastes fruity, spicy, sweet, lemon. Had this many times in bottled form but this draught version was smooth and magnificent. A wonderful Belgian Tripel.

Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a fluffy, long lasting , white head. The aroma is mainly yeasty, with some lighter citrus notes, mainly lemon. The flavour is decent, yeast, some malt caramel, light notes of fruit, a touch of citrus, alcohol in the finish. Good, but nothing great. A well rounded, enjoyable brew.
