3.9/5 rDev 0%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Pours an almost clear rich golden color with notes of amber. It has a medium creamy very persistant head that leaves very good lacing.

The aroma is a balance between cloves and bannana and pears. And after a swirl in the glass, there comes through a bright but mild floral hoppy aroma. Very nice indeed.

Then in the flavor is much cloves which I don't really like so much. It's the turnoff for me in belgium beers. But it's not bad though because it still has the pears and some mild floral hops to keep it from being a bad taste. And I get none of the typical chalky taste in this beer. Not bad, just a little too much cloviness and a very hefty hop bittereness too.

This beer has a full very slick feel with a dry finish.

It's pretty drinkable I'd say. I just might get some more of this for a tasting or something.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Served from a 33 cl bottle bought in France.

A - Color is a deep gold or bright orange. It is clear but not crystal clear. The beige head is very active, dense and thick, and remains that way.

S - Some great aromas. Light floral hops, lemon zest, warm biscuity malt. There are some spicy esthers from the yeast. The alcohol is detectable but not harsh. Overall impression is clean, restrained and crisp, rather than over the top in any one area.

T - Moderate hops bitterness is the first thing to register, but warm, bready malt quickly comes in to balance. The hops taste is indistinct, but there is a slight astringency that is almost tea-like. No real yeast or alcohol notes. Very clean, but not very complex or deep in flavors.

M - Light body seems thin for the overall beer. Alcohol is just barely felt. Hops are moderate bitterness. Carbonation is low and does not add much mouthfeel.

O - This is an extremely clean, well-made beer, but for me it lacks anything to make it truly distinctive as a tripel. A little more body and some interesting yeast notes would push it over the top for me.

4.01/5 rDev +2.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

A: Nice thick head on initial pour into a tulip glass which resolved to nice thin layer and lacing. Nice amber colour with good effervescence without being excessive

S: Bouquet of honey and caramel, fruit esters (a little banana, raisin, apple), hint of alcohol

T: Malty forward taste followed by a little fruit/honey then a hint of hops and a fairly dry clean finish.

M: Fair amount of carbonation, a tad syrup in texture

Quite good overall, at <$4 a bottle its a good tripel though a bit unconventional in its profile. Good with a burger, tacos, a great beer for a picnic.

3.98/5 rDev +2.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Smell: chocolate, caramel, and figs

Taste: melon, red apples, lemongrass, tangerines, smoked nuts, and a smooth juicy dryness

This beer is a very under-rated triple that deserves some credence. For some, however, this beer may be very sweet with an odd mix of characteristics; this isn't a typical tripel.
To pair, I would recommend a good quality hamburger or, some skewered prawns or jambalaya; you can do a lot with this beer: get creative
