| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Has a sour bitter beer smell with some florals.
Pours a slightly hazy apple juice color with minimal white head and some action.
Mouthfull of flavors including pale malt, maybe some wheat, and some grapefruit/lime hop taste with a hint of sourness, butter, and alcohol warming.
Medium bodied, resinous and buttery, with a crisp carbonation.
Another fine product from the Trappist Monks, cheers.

Dirty gold pour and white head. Tart and sour fruit aroma. Sweeter flavor with a bitter dry taste. Alcohol complements the finishing flavor better than the beginning.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Aroma contained plenty of apple vinegar and even a little yeast. Thin creamy head with some flecks as well in this pour. Flavor was sour apple vinegar, grapes and maybe raisins. Palate was fizzy and lively. A good tripel that has much in common with some sour ales. KM (238), Tromsø, Norway
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Slightly unclear golden body. White medium sized head. Sourish aroma, without yeast. Quite sharp. Sweet flavour, relatively fresh with sourish hints. Can feel the alcohol in the finish. (Gollem, Amsterdam, 08.12.08) Anker (313), Hillerød, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Bottle. Golden colour with a long lasting huge white head.
Aroma is sweet banana, apricot and yeast.
Flavor is slightly bitter, dry fruit, yeast, acidic and with a little to much alcohol.
A good tripel though.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2009 The benchmark ale of tripels. One of my very favorites. Their cheese is pretty good too. If I stood in front of a shelf full of tripels and someone told me to grab one, this is the one I would grab without a second thought. bw1982 (80), , Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 16, 2009 11.2 oz bottle. Bright golden color with a very fluffy off white head. The palate is medium, not too heavy, and the aromas seemed subdued. The flavors are great; there is some sweet vanilla, some strong fruit flavor and a really great deep spiciness throughout. A great beer, the high ABV is not noticeable because it is exceptionally smooth. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Aroma tart, bananas. Flavor is quite fruity and tart. Very freshing, not too on the sweet side. Frothy body, but has a smooth sticky mouthfeel to it. Kind of has a bitter finish to it. Really has a dry malty body, not too sweet, with a strong fruity tart character. Lemon, perhaps. A little spicy.
