Dec 12, 2005 Bottle: Poured a deep orangey and slightly hazy color ale with a huge foamy head with excellent retention. Aroma of spices, malt and Belgian yeast. Taste does include a large dose of spices and honey with a dry finish and slightly funky yeast. Body is above average and carbonation is excellent. Still haven’t had a bad beer from this brewery.

Dec 11, 2005 5-piece box set from St. Bernadus at LCBO. Poured a murky amber with a frothy white head. Extremely smooth going down. Aroma is not overpowering or off-putting. Excellent taste of spiced fruit. Not as heafty as I would like for a winter beer.

Nov 22, 2005 Bottle. Pours a cloudy bright orange color with a pillowy off white head. Quite fragrant, floral, notes of honey, caramel, pear, pale malt and Belgian yeast. Nice melding of the flavors, you get ample amounts of honey, yeast, spice, and malt. Creamy mouthfeel even with the abundant carbonation, medium to full body, very drinkable. Top notch tripel. Thanks mds for the bottle.

Nov 13, 2005 Bottle (330ml). Very yeasty aroma when it popped - as it sat unpoured, it was out-foaming a bit as it sat. Poured slightly hazy gold with a big white lasting head. Aroma is yeasty-malty fruity (ripe navel orange) - a little over the top, but appealing. Taste is caramel and fruit sweet, very yeasty and moderately peppery and spicy. Mouthfeel is fairly lively - almost candyish, certainly sticky. Could be a little better blended, but maybe with age ... certainly no complaints here, I like malty Belgians!

Nov 12, 2005 Hazy orange color with a medium head. Very yeasty aroma with a mix of pine needles. Bitter taste and some spices mixed in with the expected hit of yeast. Not my favorite style, but one of the better ones I’ve had.

Nov 10, 2005 Bottle from St. Bernardus gift pack. Very cloudy yellow-orange with a good sized snow white head. Very nice aroma - notes of yeast, orange, butterscotch & shortbread. Flavour is full and sweet, lots of malt, hints of pepper & spiciness, with a yeasty finish that has some citric bitterness. Not an overly complex beer, but a solid and enjoyable one.
