| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | May 23, 2007 Bottle. Hazy, orangey amber with a small head and a bit of sediment. Fruity aroma, hinting of oranges. Flavours have the typical ’t IJ trademarks; fruity and spicy with strong hints of orange zest. Good carbonation and body. Nice. pintocb (509), Darsville, Georgia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2007 Faint orangy type aroma. Cloudy butterscotch color. Thin mouthfeel with strong carbonation. Too much for a tripel. Malty and yeasty with some hints of citrus. Very subtle bitter finish. pubbe (493), Højbjerg, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 19, 2007 Cloudy yellow colour with creamy off-white head of long duration. Friuts, fruitacids and flowers in the powerfull aroma. Friuts and yeast in the flavor. Average rather orangy finish. goozen (1061), Leiden, Netherlands
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2007 Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark orange coloured tripel with fruity, honey taste. Very decent bio-beer. thewolf (5727), Kolding, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 9, 2007 Pours a pale, muddy orange-yellow with a small creamy off white head. Lots of particles and bubbles. Aroma has lots of fruityness from the yeast, some oranges and a little honey. A little spritzy mouthfeel. More powerful taste than you’d expect - not as light and fresh as the aroma. Lots of oranges in the flavour as well and generally sweet. SilkTork (4167), Rochester, Kent, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2007 ChrisFest Pale and perfumed. Fairly dry. An attractive chalky ale - though lacking in range and depth. Fukito (604), Buenos Aires, Argentina
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2007 Tap at T´Ij, march 07. Peachy, minerally, honeish with a salty finnish. Fruity and spicy aroma. Medium MF, velvety, silk. Clear golden color with a bit thin but lasting white head. Doesn´t seems to be a tripple, really swift and deceiving.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2007 Bottle is dated August 2002. Dunno if that was bottling or best by date, but this one is old. Upon uncapping, the aroma was detectable from a few feet away, and when I got closer it pricked the nose. Hazy golden with a smallish head, decent lacing and retention. Very huge orange/citrus aroma with lesser notes of yeast and a trace of pepper. Actually similar aroma to Orval, but not quite. Surprisingly powerful aroma, flavor is a slight step down but still good. Medium bodied, a light sweetness. Enjoyable, I wonder what a fresh sample would bring.
