[This rating is for the old 9% version] Hints of yeast in the aroma. A very dark beer that has a filling taste with hints of yeast and fruit. [The 7.5% version] An unclear orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is very sweet with an undistiguable powerful spice note and a weak note of black peber. The flavor is strond but flat yet the alcohol prickles even though it is just 7.5% ABV. In the middle it reminds me of flat wheat with notes of oranges and other fruits. It ends on a dry wheat note. The flavor is somewhat strange. It is definatly not as good as the Triple 9. This is not my beer. [6/4/5/4/11]

(Bottle 33 cl) First impression is bubbly. Bubbles everywhere actually - this is extremely carbonated. Deep orange colour, almost bronze with a huge frothy head. Lots of malt with a pleasant. dry fruityness in the palate. 301093

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange and with fine yeast sediments floating around, has a lasting off-white head. Classic belgian yeast spiced aroma. Flavour holds a classic belgian spiced yeast flavour and with mild caramel malt base. Delicate yet faint compared to many other more flavourful belgian tripels.

Bottled. Amber coloured with rich, very lively head. Malt and some citrus in an unusually introvert aroma for a tripel. Soft mouthfeel and balanced sweetness together with a big, bready, chewy maltiness. Just a hint of coriander in an otherwise malt dominated finish.

Bottle. Light unclear medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, fruity, citrus, light caramel, moderate yeasty, light toffee and alcohol. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic. (160408)

Bottle. Aroma seems a little oxidized. Nicely bready flavour, not very peppery. Slightly swelling mouthfeel. Finish is a little dry.

Bottled. Hazy honeyish golden colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, a bit spicy and aa bit hoppy. Smoother than many other tripels. Flavour was very smooth caramel, fruits, spices and hops. Very nice palate, and one of the best balanced beers I have had in a long time.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Fruity aroma with notes of spices. Sweet flavour of bananas and spices. Slightly bitter finish.
