Jun 16, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) My original version was from "De Gouden Boom" in Bruges. Orangey golden with a fine head. I get very vinous associations here - like a very good Chardonnay. Spicy with a late bitterness. Extremely, rich, aromatic and complex - the kind of beer that slowly unfolds in your mouth. Great stuff indeed. 151197

Dec 25, 2002 Yummy! Sweet and one of the easiest to drink tripels on planet earth. No harsh alcohol taste, which is unusual for 8.5%. Deserves more credit than it gets.

Feb 28, 2004 11.2oz bottle with cool and intricate label. Best Before date of 12 04 04. Poured into an Orval Belgian glass.
Pours a cloudy blonde color, interestingly the same color of my oak table on which it sits. Nice head with good retention and some lacing.
Smells...doughy green apples with a hint of cloves. Rather odd, I must say.
Taste is quite good, though a bit different from anything I've had before. It's very complex. I'm at a loss to discribe much, though, but I'm trying. Definately some strong fruit esters with a hint of green apple. Cloves are apparent as is the malt. There's a lot going on here. The alcohol does make its presence known in the taste.
Mouthfeel is very full and carbonated, but not overly so; it's definately not all foam and no thickness. This has some meat to it. Drinkability is good, but I want another to contemplate the flavors more and not because I can't wait to have another.
A great Tripel and definately one worth seeking out.

Feb 18, 2002 A nice light malty aroma is evident as the beer is decanted. It had a very nice full head, medium bubbles but getting creamier as the beer is consumed. The color was that of a faint golden ale. Spice flavors come through with a bit of hop. A very nice enjoyable Tripel.

Dec 28, 2009 Orange body with swirls of tiny carbonation bubbles feeding a lush head. Zesty, lemon-kissed yeast aroma segues intoa smooth bodied Tripel apportioned iwth a clean yeast profile that is mildly complex and makes for an incredibly drinkable brew. Mild evergreen essence, spicy hops, and estery inklings. Enjoyable Belgian malt backdrop, well-balanced.and absent any off-flavors. Thoroughly enjoyable.
