Mar 31, 2009 Had on tap at Delirium cafe in Brussels, Belgium. Drinken from Karmeliet glass whose tulip shape seemed to hold on to the head for longer than expected and result in moderate to heavy lacing.
Beer had a beautiful golden brown color and gave up hints of wheat and barley. Upon tasting, the most noticeable characteristic is the sweetness, which is quite strong for a tripel, but pleasant nonetheless. The beer tastes of light honey, minor nut, and some vanilla.
The beer lingers for quite some time and leaves a sweet coating on the tongue and light floral or clove tastes in the back of the throat.
An overall very good beer, probably best drinken on the colder side to prevent unintended similarities with weaker meads.

Mar 31, 2009 Pale and hazed with no head.
Banana, yeast, melon, petrol and booze aromas.
Orange, carrot, melon, mango and other tropical fruits with sweet malts and slightly sour/bitter finish.
Smooth and easy.
Deep and complex for its colour.
I drank this alongside a Gruyere and Parmesan souffle. It was lovely with the rich cheesiness and it’s caramel flavours and sour notes played well with and slightly bitter cheeses.

Mar 25, 2009 Had it on tap at Rattle n Hum in NYC. Strikes me as "tripel light" - I am surprised to read other RBers’ ratings! Probably the most "reserved", lightly flavoured tripel I’ve ever had.. which is not a good thing in my opinion. Would definitely drink again, but wish there was just more there.

Mar 20, 2009 Pours blonde with an overflowing head. Aroma was a let-down; very dull and vague. Flavor is quite tasty, of apricot, bread, and a lot of spice, coriander. Overall, very good, although perhaps a little overrated.

Mar 15, 2009 33cl bottle. Lemony yellow, firm foamy head leaving tight lacing. Nicely wheaty aroma, soapiness, interesing minty spices and citric fruits. Smooth wheaty flavor, spices, grainy malts, white pepper and hint of alcohol. Strongly carbonated, refreshing lively palate. Probably my favourite Tripel so far, love those witbier notes.
