Pours a clear orange with soft, thick head and plenty of visible carbonation.

Smell is fruity and crisp with some yeasty hints. Notes of citrus, apples and dried apricots.

Taste is fruity and crisp with some bitterness Notes of dried fruit, yeast, apples, citrus and some pepper and spice. Alcohol is well hidden.

Mouthfeel is medium, with frothy carbonation.

Overall, a very nice Tripel with less yeastiness than usual.

L- Mid amber, slight haze, pillowy white head that holds on and on.
S- Typical pungent Belgian abbey style, a leathery edge and spicy notes conveyed most clearly.
T- Lovely, quite pungent, with a vibrant and well balanced palate. It is broadly of the trad Belgian 8.5% abbey beer style but I'm struck by how I can't ID the dominant aspects to the taste beyong it being 'trad'. ...
F- ... Hence I conclude that the balance within this is unusually good.
O- A lovely beer and I'd happily drink it again. Bought from BeersOfEurope (UK).

Poured out a hazy copper color with hints of gold and a foamy, large head with big bubbles. It smelled estery, yeasty and of clove. It tasted of dried fruit and smooth, sweet malt. It had a peppery spice. A medium-bodied beer.

 

Pours a pleasant, cloudy gold with excellent foamy head and lacing

Smell is of honey, almond, it smells like spring (if that makes sense?) Fresh sweet caramel maltiness, mild floral and hint of esters.

Taste like honey, raw almonds, slightly sweet, a little like a mead with residual sweetness.

Mouthfeel is full due to the copious carbonation, which provides enough astringency to keep the sweetness from becoming too syrupy.


Overall this is a delicious, easily quaffable beer. I would definitely stock up on this scrumptious beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A-not so clear, but not real hazy with a large white head that fades slow, and leaves a great heavy lace on the glass.
S- pear, apple, and some sweet fruit, maybe banana, in there also. Has spice and some tart smell with it.
T-grapefruit hits me at first, then the spicy tart aftertaste that stays with you until the finish
M-medium body with high carbonation feel
O-smell had everything, but the taste uncovered something else. It was better as the beer got warmer
