Draught @ Cafe Duvel. Bottle. Golden, big white creamy head. A little of everything really. Sugar and spice and all things nice... citrus, vanilla, caramel, orange... all in perfect balance. Very smooth.

I just bought a single 11.2 oz. bottle for $5.69. Not inexpensive but I think worth every penny. Very good and 8.1%!

bottle, one of my old-time favourites, altough from the tap this is a lot better, from bottle it’s still pretty good; golden medium misty liquid with medium head. fruity wel balanced, alcohol well masked a tad bit sweet, but excellent nonetheless. well above average belgian tripel.

Had on draft at the Dilly Deli. A quintessential Belgium Tripel that was yeasty, fruity with golden raisins that had some honey and crispness to the finish. A truly flavorful, complex yet refreshing tripel. The finish is strong with a definite presence of alcohol.

Pours out the standard orange / amber clour. Ha! I’m getting an endless supply of bubbles out of my Karmeliet goblet that only helps feed the colossal off white crown that was produced on the pour. The lacing is average but this is kind of misleading as half my glass has been filled with beer foam...even a light swirl starts the bubble factory up. The aroma is of sweet orange, nice floral hops (my brain tells me it has noticed the faint aroma of roses), a low ammount of spice from the yeat and some alcohol heat that slightly burns the nostrils. The taste is caramelly, orange, lightly spiced yeast with the alcohol not quite hidden in the background. It did come across more mild that I expected. The mouthfeel was smooth and a bit dry with a solid deep alcohol burn but lacks a defined finish. Looks like a re-review is in order.
