May 25, 2009 12 oz bottle. Big malts, yeast, and a hint of alcohol in the aroma as expected. Pretty nice aroma overall though, with more specifically pale grain malts, yeasty butter crackers, a slightly mix of grain and vinous alcohol, some herbal hop qualities and some other light spices. Pour was nice, though not over-the-top like others of the style can be, with a wispy milk white head, good retention and lacing, cloudy body and orange gold in color. No real surprises in the drinking of this beer either, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing when beers actually live up to your exact expectations. But anyway, medium body, a good tripel bite to it, and very good balance. Flavor is a good combination of Belgian blonde pale malts, a nice herbal grass bitterness that spreads and balances the whole way through, minor citrus orange, yeasty crackers and popcorn, and some various savory spices. So even though its really nothing too mind-blowing, it is still a very nice Belgian style ale.

May 25, 2009 Incredible beer from Unibroue.
When you live in a state with backwards liquor laws like PA, and you have to buy cases of beer, because the nearest bottle shop is either across state lines or over an hour drive, its beers like this that make you happy duriing "blind buys".
The tripel smell is present here, notes of honey/sugar and cloves are very present on it.
Pour is a nice hazy tripel yellow with a nice foam head.
Tastes : Delicious. Very good version of a tripel, refreshingly sweet. Has a great overall presentation, and a fantastic aftertaste.
This is one beer that will always have a place in my home.

May 25, 2009 Pours a hazy golden with a nice foamy head. Aroma is yeasty and fruity, one could smell tripel. Sweet fruity flavor upfront with a lingering dry finish. Flavorful, complex, balanced excellent brew.

May 23, 2009 Sweetly stale citrusy aroma. Cloudy orange-yellow appearance. Light, crisp, citrus flavor without the syrupy taste of some tripels I’ve tried. Very nice, crisp and refreshing beverage.

May 21, 2009 Poured a hazy golden yellow with a nice fluffy white head. Aromas and flavors of sweet citrus, yeast and some spices. This is an excellent tripel.

does not count  May 21, 2009 Pours a hazy golden orange. Fluffy off-white head reduces slowly. Aroma is spicy, doughy, and a bit fruity. Sweet and spicy flavor leads into tart fruit. Carbonation is lively. Texture is lightly viscous and coats the mouth. Overall, strongly flavorful, complex, and pretty well balanced.

May 19, 2009 I really enjoy this beer. This is the second time I have had it, and it was really delicious both times. It poured a hazy yellow color with a light head. It smelled very much like bread and slightly fruity. It is a heavily carbonated beer that tastes sweet and slightly fruity. It’s very tasty, and I guess much like a proper Belgian. Very tasty and I would purchase again!

May 19, 2009 Bomber. Really nice summertime beer if you’re looking to get f-ed up. Strong, but easy-drinking and very clean on the palate. Doughy, citrus, leaves the mouth clean. Nice stuff.
