It has a very complex taste that is hard to pin down, but the lingering aftertaste isnt pleasant. The are definitely better abbey tripels out there. FatTony (121), Augusta, Georgia, USA
| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Aug 22, 2008 12 ounce bottle- this beer is a mystery. I can’t figure out just how they got that monkey to piss in the bottle. The rancid smell was followed up by a rancid taste, at least it was consistent. Godawful. Can’t reconcile my score with what I see here, maybe a bad bottle? nqualls (1428), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 9, 2008 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle (bottled on Feb 22 08) and served in a tulip. This tripel poured a hazy golden hue with a lasting head of off-white foam. A bit of light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of apples, clove, cinnamon, orange peel, and a hint of alcohol. The flavor consisted of spicy yeast, apples, pears, orange peel, cloves, and a slight alcohol warmth. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with ample carbonation. Crisp and refreshing. Complex and highly quaffable. Very tasty! blutt59 (2169), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2008 Hazy bright gold, small head. Fruity aroma. Lots of tropical fruits including custard apple but also a few orchard fruits including pear. Then nutmeg, clove. Like a fruit custard. Nice carbonation level but feels somewhat heavy. Sweet but pleasant, fun. Lots of fruit like strawberry and also spice with coriander and fennel playing together, boosted by alcohol. Not bad! BeerVirgin72 (814), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

Aroma was sweet and citrus. Flavor was sour apples and sweet tarts. Bitter finish. Not my favorite Tripel, but decent.
