This is the best Belgian-style beer I’ve ever had that isn’t from Belgium. I’ve had a number of the Unibroue beers, and I believe this is the best beer they brew. It is a light and effervescent tripel that pairs equally well with pizza or a more elegant meal.
It pours a straw-color with excellent tightly packed head (think Duvel). The beer is hazy, and smells lightly yeasty, like you would expect a tripel to smell.
Taste is also of yeastiness, although the flavor is not tremendously complicated like other tripels I’ve had. There is not a lot of spiciness. However, the taste is simple, pleasant, and the mouthfeel is very evervescent and refreshing. I really like this beer!

Oct 11, 2008 Good beer, but totally overrated. It smells nice, but really is too light to earn such a high rating. It tastes of pears and other sweet fruitiness. The finish is quick and not bitter. A good beer if you are thirsty, but not complex enough or heavy enough if you want something you can really appreciate.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours an orange color with quickly dissapating white head. Taste of fruit and cinnamon. One of the most drinkable beers I ever had. You would never know it has a 9% ABV.
12 oz. bottle

Oct 8, 2008 Orange beer with short lasting white head. Light, flowery and spicy aroma. Ginger snaps, brandy and spices lead to a somewhat metallic and orangey middle and pleasant malty end. Light and somewhat thin-bodied but delicious nonetheless.

Oct 7, 2008 Beatiful nose: pears, yeast and bread crumbs and a fake orange candy aroma
If you hate the dryness of beers than this is the beer for you. This is like sweet candy and I’m not really feeling it. This is a dssert beer. WOW. However, this is clean and smooth and the water is pure. I’m kind middle of the road on this beer--its tooo sweet for me.
Not bad though.

Oct 5, 2008 Another solid offering from Unibroue.
Pours a murky, cloudy light gold in color. Two fingers of head forms on the pour. Smell is highly yeasty, with some spice and a decent amount of lemon. Taste has actually quite a bit of yeast to it. There is more of the fruity overtones, with more than just the lemon flavor showing up. Decent mouthfeel and highly carbonated. Decent, but it’s not "The Don".
