austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland Jul 8, 2009 33cl bottle at Old Bank. Hazy golden to amber, small pale head. Ginger and spritzy cooked pear in the aroma, little acidic notes and minerals, faint sweet maple syrup. Flavor is warming alcohol, sweetish sugary feeling, minerals, pear, light gingerbread spiciness. Club soda feeling all over. Medium to full bodeid, strong mouthfilling carbonation. Pretty hollow tripel, way overrated. DeadGirl (192), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA Jul 6, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009In a bottle at Rattle ’N’ Hum (Midtown, NYC): The aroma gives off a sour, liquid bread feel. Tastes of hops, "different types of yeast", a faint hint of citrus/orange peel, but most of all, chewy, liquid bread... with a tart kick. Love the fantasy label. Downright epic tasting, Belgium style beer. Makes me happy. #050 on 06072009, DG. Berley31 (107), New Brunswick, Canada Jul 5, 2009 Bottle (750 mL). Poured with a large, off-white head that eventually diminished to about one-finger size. Body was hazy, with light particles, and a dark yellow color. Lacing was fair. Very nice aroma... average yeast, some fruitiness as well. Great on the palate... full body, creamy, with lively carbonation. You can taste light alcohol, but it’s not overwhelming at all. The fruit comes through again, and stays with you for a good amount of time. Delicious. A fantastic tripel; I’m very happy Unibroue is here in Canada to provide us with authentic-tasting Belgium brews. Jblauvs (531), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jul 4, 2009 golden pour with a nice offwhite head. Fruity, yeasty aroma with some honey and booze. Nice flavor, tangy and yeasty, typical Unibroue. Warming finish of sweet booze ALCOHOLNIZM (59), WARWICK, USA Jul 2, 2009 Updated: Aug 2, 2009THIS BEER CHALLENGED ME, I BOUGHT IT OUT OF CURIOUSITY NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT. I POURDED IT INTO THE GLASS THAT WAS RECOMENDED ON THE BOTTLE AND I WAS TRULY AMAZED BY THE COLOR, (CLOUDY RUSTY GOLDEN) THE AMOUNT OF THICK FOAMY HEAD AND MOSTLY THE ABUNDANCE OF CARBONATION . WHEN I TASTED IT, I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO THINK, I DONT LOVE IT AND I DONT HATE IT BUT I DEFINATELY FEEL CHALLENGED BY THE FLAVOR IT IS A FAMILIAR TASTE WHICH I HAVE YET TO PUT MY FINGER ON I THINK IT MAY BE CARROT, SWEET POTATOES ,YAMS OR SOME SORT OF ROOT VEGETABLES? (ACTUALLY I AM CERTAIN) VERY ODD GOOD BEER TO PAIR WITH FINE CUISINE , ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE SO GOOD FOR CHILLING WITH YOUR PEEPS AND THROWING DOWN A FEW. DeanF (285), Paris, France Jul 1, 2009 Drank these to death once upon a time. Great fluffy head, fruity aromas, nice complex taste of citrus, grains, and more fruity notes. Excellent stuff. adrosson (9), California, USA does not count Jun 30, 2009 bottle - pours a clear golden color. Very clean, fruity and citrus-y. Nice, sufficient level of carbonation.
father’s office drewaha (16), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 29, 2009 Poured into Duvel tulip. Ton’s of head. Smells yeasty and fruity. Citrusy flavor and somewhat sweet. One of the best tripels around.
