Bottle 33cl. Pours a golden coloured tripel, slightly cloudy. White head that disappears quickly. Average carbonation. Broad malty taste, strong ethylic aftertatste. The composition of ingredients seems to fit, round taste overall. In my opinion much better than Westmalle Tripel

A great tripel... nothing like a real Belgian. And this is a fine example. Wholesome body, handsome head, sweet and malty, noticeable corriander, easily drinkable and yum to the YUM!

Bottle. Golden color with some small floaties, lots of carbonation, and a big and rather stable white head. Aroma of yeast, fruits, spices, some malty notes and hints of hops. Sweetish flavor at first with some malt, a bit of caramel and some oatmeal character, then turns spicier and drier with yeast and some hoppy bitterness in the finish. Medium to full-bodied. Dangerously drinkable.

Clear and light in appearance...moderate sweetness that does not overwhelm. Flavors of pear and white grapes. Dry in finish, not bitter. Pretty standard tripel here, but more complex than the American comparisons.

Orange gold big, foamy white head / Delicate nose of bananas, apples, lemons, and spice / Medium body, aggressive carbonation, some malt oomph, crisp acidity, and good, lasting, semi-sweet finish / Tart flavors of green apple, banana, lemon, orange, caramel, and coriander / Terrific.
