Pours a somewhat cloudy, thick, blonde color. Nice sized head that does fizzle down quite a bit. That was disappointing. Strong aroma consisting of citrus bananas, cloves, vanilla and an overall strong alcohol presence. There’s a lot there. The mouthfeel is pretty full although something seems a bit off with a tangy, somewhat sour, very yeasty, citrus (oranges and bananas) flavor. There is an alcohol rush in there so you know it’s 9%. I’ve had other Tripels recently that are better, Karmeliet and Chimay Cinq Cents come to mind, but this is pretty good.

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".

Oct 5, 2008 Very fruity and sweet, nice yellow color.This is one sweet and fruity beer, its good, but not that good. To me it takes like champagne.

Oct 5, 2008 Another wonderous beer from Unibroue. This breweryt can’t seem to make a bad beer. Had in bottle. At 9 % this is a bit steep. Can smell the alcohol, and the taste is strong and harsh. Aroma of fermenting fruit and alcohol. Yeasty and maltyt flavour is mixed among the stong 9 % abv flavour. Mouthfeel is unusual and completely standard for a unibroue beer. Wonderful beer overall.
