Small Belgian Head. Tight bubbles, but not that many. Almost clear for a Belgian. Aroma of malt and fruit, orange perhaps. Taste not what I expected after the aroma as it has strong hints of toffee with butterscotch and a touch of sherry. Slight citrus but predominant flavor is a mix of all these with an barely perceivable underlying tone of spice. Nice mouth feel, very nice. Body not heavy, but definitely not thin. This is an excellent tripel. I will have to try their other products. Beer hunting with types like these yet to be discovered is marvelous.

Bottle from Peace Street Market in Raleigh, NC. Hazy orange pour with a medium head. Strong yeast in the aroma with an earthy hoppiness and subtle funkiness. Yeasty taste with spicy hops. Full bodied.

75cl bottle from Jans Wine and Boos #2 (Tampa, FL). Rated on 4/1/08. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a thick white head. Good head retention and lively carbonation. Aroma is honey, caramel with a soft hops note. Flavor is apple, apple cider, faint phenol , complex Belgian yeast notes. Medium-bodied ale with a slightly watery finish.

330 ml bottle. golden colour. fluffy white head. taste is like a tripel should be, alcoholic, spicey, but tripels aren’t my fave’s ....

pours golden yellow, fuzzy white head. Smells yeasty and sort of citrusy and slightly alcoholic. The flavor has a subtle orange taste or maybe its just citrus, also the alcohol is really evident and warming. This is a decent tripel.

33cl bottle. Trade with Bierkoning. Thanks. Pours hazy golden with a creamy white head that drags some handsome lacings. Aroma is of yeast - quite sweet, & some spices. Full bodied & smooth palate. Sweet & sticky taste with lots of orange fruits, yeast & a hint of pepper & hops. Alcohol is truly well hidden. Great Triple!
