L- Deep amber, almost getting a hint of pale orange. Very slight haze (sludge left in bottle). Pours with 5mm snow-white head. [ps 15mins later, the head is holding very well].
S- Seems to have a mildly spicy smell to it.
T- Interesting taste, Tripel, but quite bright with distinct facets. Some deep fruit, a spicy edge, perhaps some timber. It's going down a treat.
F- I could drink this as a winter-warmer in colder months. You can tell it's pretty hefty, but the 8.0% projects itself discreetly. Quite well chilled it's going down nicely this summer too.
O- Very nice. It's sense of pungency is rising as it warms somewhat. I'd happily drink this again.
330ml Euro 2.80. Bought from BelgiumInABox @ Antwerp/BE for delivery to me in London/UK. BB: 17/12/2021.

Slightly hazy golden color with a thin head with decent retention.
Sweet aroma with notes of caramel, cloves, banana and wheat.
Flavor with notes of herbal hops, Cointreau liquor, pineapple, orange marmalade, candi sugar, mild green apple, cloves, pears, banana and faint floral hops. Dry aftertaste with a medium bitterness hidden by its sweet body.
Bordering medium body with velvety effervescent carbonation. Alcohol of 8% is amazingly well hidden.
Sweet Tripel with good fruit complexity but that could have more of its floral hops to balance it further.

Pours a hazy golden color with a medium top of white head that dissolves quite fast and leaves some lacings on the glass. The aroma is with small notes of tropical fruits, red apples, honey and light malts. The taste is fruity and sweet with medium bitterness and some yeasty spicy notes. The finish lacks a little lenght in the aftertaste and the flavour is quite weak. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a high carbonation and a medium body.
All in all is a decent enough triple , but is a lot of better ones out there.

A very lively one this beer is a light pour produced well over two inches of foam. Color is a semi hazy amber brown. Smells pretty plain actually no real funk or yeast or even ethanol. Taste is similar to the Dubbel the house yeast is very cloyingly dry and somewhat fruity rather than bitter. Worst part I see in this beer despite the lackluster flavor is the carbonation very bubbly and hard to even sip which is usually a deal breaker with beers.

Overall again it's an interesting beer but would pass on a second.
