Pours clear golden color with a small foamy white head. Aroma of sweet vanilla, clove, slightly rubbery banana, and a lemony citrus. The taste is unbelievably smooth. The clove sweetness comes through huge with a nice bitterness to balance. A subdued fruitiness to it. Not really clear what fruit, but kind of artificially. A great balance to it. Lacking in carbonation, but very quality body. A spicy semi-dry finish.

Good tripel. Sweeter than most if my memory serves me right. Big head, and easy to drink. Right up there with Unibroue and Westmalle.

750 mL bottle. Golden pour with a huge white fluffy head. Aroma of malt, grass and bread. Medium body with a taste of bread, Belgian yeast, slight hops and malt. Great dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange with big fluffy off-white head. Aroma is very nice, some spice, citrus peel, a little funky, some barnyard, lemon grass, some grassy hoppiness, earthy, light malt, faint banana, a little alcohol spice. Flavor is very crisp and the same as what I mentioned above with faint tang. Mouth feel is light-medium body, very high fizzy carbonation....Overall, this beer is incredibly tasty and very easy to drink....Would be refreshing during the summer and will warm you up during the winter....A perfect all season beer!

Great looking beer golden in colour with a beautiful white head on top. Aroma is sweet, malty and cookie like with a crisp hint of herbs. Taste is bready with touches of peaches and banana. Aftertaste is sweet-malty with a fine touch of hops and pepper in the end.

Pours a clear golden color with a foamy, thick, white head. Very lovely aroma of lemon, coriander, wheat and something peachy. Taste is slightly sweet, spicy and hoppy, moving to a long bitter finish. Really well balanced. Enormous amounts of carbonation gives this a creamy texture. Lovely beer.

Bottle, pours a hazy orange golden body with a huge often exploding yellow white head. Big yeast y notes, and spices are overly abundant even domineering within the head itself. Spicy pepper tones, cinnamon, and leather y fruit notes. Berries, with a tart apples and citrus tones. A fantastic Ale.
