Competently made beer but nothing special.

L: Pale to mid yellow, with some head.
S: mild, slight citrus
T: lemon and coriander seeds, some malt, a bit floral
F: smooth but a bit thin.
O: does not justify its substantial alcohol level with taste. It's fine but, to me, nothing special

Pours a cloudy, golden coloration with a medium, frothy head and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of doughy, biscuity malt and citrus hops, with hints of fruity esters also coming through. Taste is a decent balance of doughy, biscuity malt, slightly floral and citrussy hops, with notes of orange rind and lemongrass, as well as hints of fruity and spicy esters, with notes of apricot, pear and just a hint of clove coming through. Finishes with a light sweetness and some citrus hops and hints of apricot lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and lively carbonation.

While this makes for a decent brew, the ester profile could be more pronounced for the style, which makes the balance seem a little off here, although malts and hops are balanced well-emough, with some sweet'ish malts and zesty hops, although not that much bitterness in the finish, while there is a certain musty touch to this that's not entirely pleasant. Overall, this makes for a decent Tripel, but with the greats being so easily and cheaply available, there is really no good reason to reach for something like this, in my opinion.

330 ml bottle, at Brasserie Monico, Antwerpen. ABV is 8%. Pale golden colour, moderate but lasting head, leaves a nice lacing. Typical triple aroma and flavour, with mild fruity and spicy notes, and pleasant floral notes of the Saaz hops. Maybe not so very special, but highly drinkable and enjoyable. Would willingly buy again.

Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)…
L- Mid gold, poured with a tiny hint of sediment and a 3mm white head that isn't sticking around. I also notice minor sediment left stuck to the bottom of the bottle.
S- Mild, ... maybe just a light smell of wood/timber not sure?
T- I almost get a fruit note, between pear and apple. Also some gentle hoppy-zing + a touch of very gentle acidity into the finish.Yep, I am certain I am getting some fruity ester notes here, pear seems about the closest.
F- Handed this blind to my wife, straight off she got Belgian Tripel. The fruit notes eluded her; unusual as she has more acute smell/taste than I usually have. I like it, versatile, summer night-cap, or a winter tipple for a palate that demands some depth and presence.
O- I like it, very drinkable. To me the fruit note is distinct and easy to spot, but it's all discreet enough to stay in balance and not dominate at all. I'd happily drink this again.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the bottle lables to see what I missed!
330ml bottle £4.60 BB: 01-2022 Bought from BelgianBeerCompany, Stoke/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Pours a clear golden color with a medium top off white head that dissolves quickly.
Aroma is ripe banana, citrus, honey, light bread, corriander and floral hops.
The taste is fruity and dry upfront with peppery and spicy notes. The finish is bitter with some floral and earthy hop notes.
A little weak in the finish and aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is soft and smooth with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
An fairly good belgian triple, but lacks a little to make it exiting.

Clear gold color with generous white head with irregular grain. On the nose it is perceived light caramel, citrus notes and coriander. On the palate there are no big surprises, biscuit, orange peel and spices. The body is slender and the carbonation high. Not exciting.

330ml bottle. Golden colour with a moderate head. Smooth, rich & sweet tripel. Plenty of pith & dusty yeast. Highly drinkable. Alcohol is evident but not intrusive.

From the brewery tap. Bright solid golden color with a thick head with great retention.
Aroma with notes of candied sugar, herbal hops, pineapple, white grapes and moth balls.
Flavor with notes of banana, bubble gum, candied sugar, mild lemongrass and white wine. Dry aftertaste with a medium bitterness.
Medium body with appropriate carbonation. No way you could tell this is 8% abv.
Sweet and malty Tripel with sugary and fruity notes.
