Oct 15, 2009 Golden brown with an off-white head. Tasted notes of young white grapefruit, a mild floral arrangement, and light hops. Highly drinkable, but definitely not abrasive considering the high ABV. Great beer!

Oct 14, 2009 750mL bottle - pours a sharp golden into chalice. Very complex tripel, with malts, citrus, yeast, strong alcohol... One of my all-time favourites. Unibroue has brewed an amazing one here.

Oct 13, 2009 750 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass. Often consumed before this rating.
App.: Cloudy deep golden with a good tight white foam.
Aroma: Earthy citrus, more fruity citrus, strong yeast and bread dough, lightly perfumed, sweet honey, some banana esters, some biscuit and toast, other, non-citrus fruitiness.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly full, fine effervescence.
Flav.: Quite a bit like the nose, lots of citrus notes, some nice coriander, a bit more of the malts with more biscuit and toast, still some floral honey, yeast/dough are less present; fairly sweet with a touch of alcohol and light fruitiness to finish.
A very lovely Tripel.

Oct 12, 2009 Wow. Smells of orange peel and amazingness. This brew has a golden cloudy color. Tastes of clove, banana, citrus, and a taste of the heavens. Active carbonation and tantalizing on the palate. All in all this is a great abbey tripel that is easy to drink and available at many stores.

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle. Golden/orange color, white head that didn´t last for a long time.
A lot of warming alcohol on the fellow. Yeast, grape, perfume, malt, honey, a nice mild acidity. Well balanced. A very good beer!

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden-orange with ample, fizzy, lasting champagne head. Aroma is sweet and tart at once, like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons all squeezed together. It almost reminded be of a sour ale when I first popped it open. Initial taste is sufficiently bitter, all malt and citrus notes. Good, but a little out of balance? I agree with the rater who posted about there being a somewhat medicinal quality. It’s definitely there, but I think it’s just the high ABV occasionally peeking through. Not a bad beer. Definitely nice for a cooler night here in San Diego.

Oct 2, 2009 Bottle.
Strong citrus in the nose, particularly grapefruit. Yeasty flavor with honey and citrus, slightly somewhat medicinal and a bit too sweet but decent enough for a new world tripel.

Oct 2, 2009 Electric orange, maybe in color, with a thin white head, lots of fruit in the aroma and taste, well balanced malt sweetness, good banana and spice notes on the palate. A real pleasant surprise.
