Jul 7, 2009 Most over the top carbonation I’ve ever seen. Almost 10 minutes before the head settled enough to take a drink. Pale, hazy, cloudy yellow. Hint of spice in the aroma. Alcohol comes across very strong, negatively impacting the nice tripel flavor.

Jul 4, 2009 Slightly hazy amber with frothy white head. Lively ripe fruit aroma. Sweet and slightly tart up front. Develops into well balanced malt. Then very tart and biter bite, hops and apple peel taste, bite fades into the finsh.

Jul 3, 2009 A nice tripel, but more acidic and spicy than I prefer...as a result, I think I prefer Chimay, but I need to try a few more trappist tripels. Color typical yellow-orange and hazy. Lemongrass aroma, taste follows with a bit of grain, cereal, honey, and a tad medicinal. A licorice type of burn on the finish. Overall, a nice complex tripel that I definitely enjoyed. No way this drinks like a 9.5%..well spiced, not too sweet. Go monks!

Jul 2, 2009 .33l bottle. Poured a nice hazy yellow and the head on this beer made me blush!! For the smell and taste, once again I had to go to the wife’s spice rack to figure this one out. Cardamom was pretty close and bitter citrus was prevalent. The aftertaste was very bitter like a grapefruit and burned a bit like it too. Not really a huge fan but I’m glad I tried it. Not an every week drink but likeable and I’ll drink it again.

Jul 2, 2009 Drank from a bottle in Brussels.
I like this one less than the Dubblel but better than the quad.

Jun 28, 2009 Not my favorite of the Belgium Tripels, but obviously one of the better beers in the world. A little too much alcohol in the finish for me, but a wonderful aroma and dry and spicy upfront with a nice spicy undertone.

Jun 28, 2009 Updated: Jul 12, 2009Bottle. A very nice golden beer. Heavily carbonated, very little alcohol presence despite the 9.5%. Very large head, smooth, soft mouthfeel. Dry aftertaste. Very spicy aroma and flavour. Tingles your entire mouth. Wonderful offering.
