Hinez57 (129), Clinton, Mississippi, USA Sep 20, 2008 Mild malty bready aroma. Paleyellow, thin white head. Nice depth of biscuit, toast, toasted malt, light caramel malt flavors with a distinct but understated "Belgian" yeast character mainly mild spice. Wonderful mouthfeel with a dry finish for the style. Overall a decent tripel. More drinkable than some versions, but less complex than the best examples. HonkeyBra (1270), Lemont, Illinois, USA Sep 19, 2008 Awesome beer. Hoppy, for a triple, and the malt is great. Amazing hops, creamy mouthfeel, and overall awesome. Derek881 (489), Frederick, Maryland, USA Sep 19, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass. The aroma had a citrus hops and yeast effect, with some banana and orange scents. A cloudy, straw colored beer with a small white head that clung to the edges but had little retention. The taste was sweet and candy-like with a milld sour effect too. A thinner, dry mouthfeel with low carbonation. Definitely a solid beer, a very good tripel, although not the best. jdunlow49 (2), , Virginia, USA does not count Sep 19, 2008 very smooth but you can taste the high alcohol content. almost creamy with sweet wheat finish. crisp and not chalky at all. Pyrozoid (352), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 18, 2008 Biere de couleur blonde brumeuse, avec un mince collet moyennement collant. Odeur de sel, semblant de gomme baloune, un peu d’alcohol et sucre. Gout un peu sucré, oranges, un peu poivré. RigorMortis (24), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 18, 2008 So Abbey Trippel is my new favorite style. This brew is a large part of that, although there are other trippels I slightly prefer (koenigshoeven comes to mind). Anyways, fin du monde is slightly sour (citrusy) and bitter, nicely carbonated. Very smooth drinking - despite the high alcohol content. FYI, I’m convinced it’s even better from the large bottles. TaxiDriver (908), Stadland, Germany Sep 17, 2008 Bottle. Quite yeasty smell, light sour and citrus. A cloudy light orange body and a small frothy white head, which is normal long lasting. The taste is heavy acidic and light bitter with a medium duration. Lively carbonation, a creamy texture and a medium body. A nice Belgian-styled beer. malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Sep 14, 2008 750 ml bottle split in Chimay glass. Hazy orange with fizzy, quickly disappearing white head. Peach orange marshmallow spice yeast aroma. Sweet vanilla orange flavor, very orange, sa if there is added orange. Lingering orange spicy finish. Medium-full body, fuller than expected, medium carbo. Excellent flavor. Decent texture.
