33cl Brown Bottle, best before 24 feb 2008, drank a little after then, but cellered correctly.

Poured into a Straffe Hendrik Chalice. It looked a lovely golden, clear brew, with a good white head on top. Good carbonisation, almost lively, as the bubbles cascaded upwards.

very little aroma, some yeast and hops, but not much of anything.

Plenty of flavours to savour, hops, yeast and malts, a proper tripple in all aspects (apart from smell).

Impressive, good alcohol presence without it knocking you about, well balanced and pleasant to drink.

This beer, although very discretely presented within belgium itself, has been a very pleasant surprise- having a not-so-good opinion on tripels.

The pour, well bodied light caramel opaque with a fizzy but lasting tan/white head, not much carbonation inside.

The nose is, without a trace of cinicism, fantastic. the fruity blend- banana, even mango (im tropical darn it, I should know) balances delightfully with some wheatyness and maltyness.

The taste, blended properly with the nose gives for a beautiful experience of full body, wheats and malts, and a tad of alcohol which doesn't actually disturb the experience as a whole.

Top Notch Brew. No Kidding.

3.4/5  rDev -15.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Appearance: pale gold-straw, slight haze, nice even layer of white foam, OK head retention

Aroma: pineapply fruitiness at first, wheat, lightly malty, some orange peel and hops

Flavor: biscuity maltiness, slightly sweet, some tanginess, a touch of hop bitterness, finish is semi-dry with a somewhat acrid residual bitterness, cork?

Mouthfeel: medium body, zesty carbonation, some warmth

Overall Impression: Pretty good beer. A lot better than I thought it would be (since it is a bit of a generic supermarket abbey ale). Interesting for a Tripel. It has a saison-y quality and that corky/biscuity flavor that is typical of most of the Urthel beers.
