Pours a cloudy apricot orange with a medium white head that recedes slowly. Aroma is definitely fruity and much hoppier than expected. Grapefruity/citrusy aroma. Bitter hops and acidic citrus again in the flavor; very IPA-ish for a tripel. Typical Belgian creaminess/yeastiness isn’t apparent here. Spritzy mouthfeel, bitter finish. Different for a tripel, but nice. Very easy to like this one... Overall, very good.

Nov 21, 2009 Clouded yellow pour. Smell has skunk out the butt. Taste is metallic and grainy. After it breathes for a bit the skunk tones disappear. Taste is of dirty grain.

Nov 10, 2009 Updated: Nov 12, 2009Bottle, dranken Geers. Bottle opens flat.
Pours hazy wheatbeer-like with a minimalistic head. Yeasty and citric nose, spices. Faint coriander smell and aroma. Bottle might be a flaw but this one had a dull still mouthfeel. Watery texture, short finish. Actually worse than a lot of pilsners.

Nov 7, 2009 A nice bitter hop and acidic citrus in the flavor. Moderate alcohol percentage for a trippel. Nice light golden transparant color.
Quite a revelation for a tripel. Very drinkable

Oct 15, 2009 Huge head on a golden poor with a fine smell. Sturdy bitter in balance with pronounced alcohol ande excellent mouth feel makes up for this fine tripel.

Sep 28, 2009 Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard,IL.. Poured to a plastic sampler a hazy, deep gold with a white bubbly foam to the head and web-like lacing. The aroma was yeast, spice, and some perfumy citrus. The flavor added soft malt, brown sugar sweetness, slight alcohol, and light tartness. The finish was lightly bitter/dry. An average but decent Tripel.
