Enchanting and enlightening, this golden, frothy ale boasts an intriguing herbal aroma, warming alcohol esters on the tongue and light, but firm body to finish. Exotic spices add subtle notes to both the aroma and flavor. Strong, sensual and satisfying.

Bottle. Aroma of tropical fruits, some spices but not really the sort I would expect from a Belgian tripel. Flavor left something wanting. More of that tropical fruit, but little else except some strange medicinal quality or maybe it’s just very misplaced, unblended bitterness. The palate also didn’t do it for me, sort of too dense and robust for the amount of carbonation. I can’t say that overall it was bad per se, but I also wouldn’t choose this over any decent session beer in any circumstance, and that obviously isn’t a very good report for a tripel.

This beer competes well with any tripel that I have had. Fruity, spicy, and sweet, with a well-hidden alcohol flavor in the finish.

Bottle. Poured a mango orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, mango, cantelope. Taste of the same fruits, some spices, finish of bitter rind. Heavy mouthfeel for a tripel. Ehh, I just didn’t really like this one. The flavors didn’t mesh together very well.

nose is of huge belgian spice. flavor is a bit cluttered with spice and a mule’s kick of booze. at times closer to a golden ale then an outright tripel, this beer can clobber you with its potency and mountain of coriander. beware!

very nice beer. pours light orange color with lots of sediment. nice scent of wheat and spices. taste is stong with spices and tases a lot like a belgian white. alcohol is well hidden and allows for a nice warming feeling after a few sips. thanks to ilanman for providing this. if i see this i will probably purchase it. a good anytime beer to keep in the fridge.

Pours golden yellow with a frothy white head that disappears quickly. aroma of citus, clove, and grass. Very smooth. Alcohol is hidden very well. Complex spices. Alcohol shows up on the finish. Nice beer.

Look is a golden yellow color. Subtle head. The alcohol is very present. Lemony hints, fruity undertones and spicies. Very inviting. You can taste the alcohol. Can’t really get pass it. The friends that I have said that they tasted some hints of bananas. I can see how they think that. Lemony kinda taste too. Complex spices are also present. Not a chugging beer. A sipping beer.
