Commercial Description:
The aroma of this beer is agreeably gentle and is carried by a discreet bitterness while the balance between the malt and hops relies on fruity accents and a lightly fresh aftertaste.

Bottle. Poured hazy gold/yellow with medium-sized white head. The aroma was slightly grassy and full of sweet malts and pear and banana esters. The flavor was grassy with some esters, bready malts, amnd light residual sweetness. The bitterness at mid-palate and finish was balancing and not strong. The finish was a little dry with some residual sweetness, soft fruit, and subtle grassy hops. The mouthfeel is crisp and medium in body. Overall, an excellent tripel. I had this at a St. Bernardus beer dinner at Fifth Earl Market the other night and found this one to be better than the St. Bernardus Tripel.

Pours hazy golden yellowwith big white head. Bread and banana aromas. Sweet fruity flavor with yeast, banana and some citrus. Medium body with spritzy carbonation and a slightly creamy mouthfeel. A decent tripel.

A very good tripel. Flavors are a blend of floral and fruit. Crisp and slightly hoppy. An overall great balance of hops and malt though. Pours golden brown with a tall frothy head. Bits of yeast are typical.

12oz bottle, bought from Whip-In in Austin. Pours a cloudy, murky orange with a trail of sediment that topped off the hefty white head into my .4l snifter. The head dissipated fairly quickly, leaving a thin, but solid and bubbly lacing. Smells sweet, maybe a hint of citrus. Honey, perhaps. Palate is out of this world. Sweet aftertaste that nearly numbs the entire tongue while my tastebuds do their little dance. Flavor is definitely fruity, same as the aroma but of course more pronounced. Almosty like a fruit medley. Otherwise, standard for a tripel, much like my last homebrew, actually. Just a heck of alot better. Sweet, but not too heavy. I like muchly!

330ml bottle (BelgianShop)
Deep amber, small head. Apple, peach, and almonds jump most quickly out of the glass, backed up by a sweet maltiness and a hint of noble hops. Soft carbonation. Very sweet taste - fruity and creamy, with almond and cherry. Nutty almond finish.

Tasted 4/5/08. 330ml bottle. Hazy with a bright golden hue. More heady. Soapy aromas. Nice crisp nose. Medium to full bodied with bready caramel flavors. Tart and estery. Chalky with more of a yeast component.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden orange with nice white head. Sour apple aroma, nice sour taste with effervescent finish. Pleasing.
