May 27, 2008 A beautiful beer. Cloudy golden orange color with moderate white head that really lasts and has good lacing. Aroma is light, with citrus, coriander and yeast. Flavor is much stronger than the aroma, with continued citrus, some banana, bread and floral notes and some spice in the finish. I have to disagree a bit with the poster below me--I think the flavor actually hides the 9% ABV very well. It is medium to full bodied with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. A very nice beer and a surprisingly good representative of the style.

does not count  May 27, 2008 Pours a cloudy apricot colour with a lot of yeast sediment visible and a nice foamy head.
Has a classic belgian tripel aroma, fruits (apple, apricots and banana) and spice, but not too heavy.
The flavour is something of a letdown, it is absolutely dominated by the alcohol and the other flavours are a little too light to really stand up to it.
It is a pleasant beer to sip, but I prefer a subtler, less alcoholic tripel like the underrated Grimbergen Blonde.
On my second try at a beer and cheese tasting I combined it with a very strong cheddar (Lincolnshire Poacher’s Full Bore) and it really transformed the experience.

May 25, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 2008(From bottle at Opal Devine’s on May 25, 2008) Pours a cloudy orange, looks a bit like a dark hefeweizen/weissbier. Lots of carbonation. Frothy, carbonated white head. Taste is also reminiscent of a weissbier. Slight citrus with spice. Aroma is sweet with similar accents. Seems light for a tripel. Very easy to drink.

May 24, 2008 12 oz bottle, poured gold with frothy white head, which mostly dissipated and left light lacing. Aroma of malt, yeast, apple, citrus...very sweet smell. Taste is sweet with a crisp, dry finish. Light to medium bodied, with fizzy mouthfeel. A very good non-Belgian tripel, a great example of the style. Tasty!

May 22, 2008 2008-Apr-25 from a 750 ml bottle. Spicy lemon and clove aroma. Golden and cloudy with a good head. Upon drinking there is an initial bite, then citrus, then a dry finish. Lacks a good finish on the tongue.

May 21, 2008 750 ml bottle.
Hazy pour, not much head, aroma of bananas and fruit. Very nice mouthfeel, nice finish. One of the best of Unibroue.

May 21, 2008 12oz. bottle. Orange-hay pour, very hazy, nice small, creamy head. Inital fruity aromas, tropical fruit, pineapples, pretty yeasty. Really nice, creamy on the palate, alot of fruits, with a soft, gentle washing effect that I can’t describe. Some sweet banana bread fights through the mangos, peaches, and spices. Very nice.
