Pours pale blonde, slight haze. 1 finger white head, medium retention, lightly carbonated, small bubble.
Smell, herby, hay, laurel.
mouthfeel, full, creamy nice.
Taste, bitter sweetness, some harshness, a bit smokey and oaky lingering on. Not too inviting to drink on.
A solid 3 all around for this French beer from the brewers of La Goudale,

33 cl bottle poured into a snifter in Toulouse, France.
Fizz head on gold, slightly hazy brew. Damn.,. foam left fast.
Nose is soap and a little fruit.
Taste is sweet, mild hop, white bread, touch of spice.
Mouth is appropriate, medium carbonation.
Overall, the label says this was a Silver Medal winner in the 2021 World Beer Awards. I have no idea why.,.

Yeah, here we go. Like a South Carolinian at a nascar race, you can say that I’m feeling this. Now, pretend your guy didn’t win, your guy finished 14th. But hell, he’s still in the race. And it’s the same for this beer; it may not be a winner, but he was still invited to the party.
See you later, my minions.

Very pale golden colour (interesting) with a modest and quickly disappearing head of foam (not so interesting). Smell and taste are nothing special: some malt, some yeast, some grass. Intensity is low, making it very easy to drink. Summer session beer material, very easy to quaff, but that's not what tripels are supposed to be in my opinion.

Pours amber clear with little head, pilsner-esque.
Aroma is a hoppy zesty mixture, quite pleasant.
Taste is refreshingly sweet, given the hoppy aroma, that disappears in place of a florally zing.
The brew is just a touch too fizzy on the tongue, the 8% guts is hidden very well, and the aftertaste is a touch artificial sweetness.
Overall, not too bad, very similar to Leffe Royale Cascade.
Better brews out there, but isn't there always.

A 33cl bottle poured into a neutral teku, pouring a 3 inches white head fading after a few minutes. At 8% this is drinkable and honestly the yeast, barley malt and hops are reminiscent of Belgian in the style, yet this is French. Interesting. Unfortunately this may not be available elsewhere in France and in the US or Canada, the UK? I wouldn't know, but keep looking maybe.
I feel a bit silly to have only bought one, as I am staying a bit thirsty now that I am close to finishing it. It calls for one or two more, but thanks to the grocery they had a new beer for me to drink and post in a good thread.
Not much to add, overall, give this a try. It was a bit pricey because I didn't buy it in a regular supermarket or mall but this will become a regular of mine, if given the chance again. A smooth and drinkable French triple from a renowned enough brewery.

Blond. A lot of thin floating things. White foam, not so beautiful, and evanescent.
In the smell malt and flora, yeast, some fruitiness. But, not inviting at all.
Ripe fruit in the taste, malt. And a strange spiciness.
Heavy and useless.

Gold color, slightly hazy. Foam white, fine and medium bubble, high, very durable.
Aroma: malt, yeast and notes of white fruits, especially grapes.
Taste: spices, yeast and malt, the beer is slightly spicy, dry.
Gentian seasoning, sharp, slightly astringent. Saturation high, a little mind, alcohol perfectly hidden.
