Poured from the 330ml swingtop bottle into a wine glass. Upon opening, the bottle popped like a champagne bottle. The beer is a cloudy pure orange colour, topped with an off-white head that bursts out of the bottle. Moderate retention.
Smell: slightly sweet with hints of honey, toast, and Belgian yeast. Apple and maybe pear. Some earthy spice.
Taste: a bit dull after the smell. Light fruits and honey. Balancing bready malt. Average.
Feel: a bit thin for the style.
Overall: An average Belgian tripel, but even that is better than all beers here in Rwanda.

330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.5%. Deep golden colour, pours very fizzy with a huge white head. Moderate but pleasant aroma with spicy and fruity (orange peel) notes. The flavour is fairly sweet with some spicy notes, acceptable hops in the finish.

De color ámbar, con una espuma cremosa de buena retención. Ligera y de carbonatación media. Aroma floral y a levadura. En boca predomina el dulzor gracias a la presencia de miel.

Served from a 330 ml bottle.
Pours a dark golden color, almost orange. A bit hazy. Good look, as the head goes all the way up of the tulip glass.
Very nice head, with big bubbles, medium duration and good retention. Medium to high carbonation.
Smell is fruity. Apple like. A bit alcoholic with hints yeasty, maybe.
The flavor is, as in many belgians, rather sweet. Apple like, yeasty and a bit bready. The alcohol is there too, normal for its 8%. Nice hoppy finish, soft and dry biterness at the end.
For a tripel, i found this rather refreshing.
I think this is a very good beer. Not the best belgian, or tripel, of course. But its very enjoyable, and i can keep drinking this.

Pours a murky dark-golden color with a medium top of white head that dissolves in a normal pace and leaves some decent lacings on the glass.
Aroma is of apples,pears, honey, bread, spices and floral hops.
The taste is sweet and fruity with light malty and bready tones. The finish is slightly dry with notes of spicy yeast and floral hops. The flavour is a little weak and unballanced. Mouthfeel is soft and clean with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
A good and drinkable triple by all accounts, but lacks a little to be a really good one.

Poured badly into a Karmaleit tulip glass.....eeeeek the explosion of foam was complete amateur.
It settled to a reasonable head, but quickly dissipated into a dishwater film, a bit disappointing.
Getting the nose in there and a malty, boozy wave hits you, not as expected.
Taste is sharp, sweet, and full of malt. Despite it's name, there is no sign of flora with this brew. You'll be greeted with a fizzy toffee type sensation, which does leave a 'come back for more' film on the tongue.
Feel is ok, a little artificial, and after that decent taste sensation, your mouth does dry up pretty quickly.
Overall, a solid tripel, not the best, but still a pretty decent brew
