Leicht alkoholischer Beginn. Trocken, hefig, geringfügig bitter. Spritzig, getreidig, weicher werdend. Zu trockenes Finish, kurzer Nachhall. Wenig helles Malz. 10/9/10/8//8

(Bottle) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, white bread, flowers and spices (coriander seeds?). Malty, fruity taste with notes of tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, white bread, soft peachy malt, coriander, honey and a balanced floral bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well made tripel, but on the safe side. Nice one.

From Oct 2006

Poured from 750ml caged and corked bottle(room temp) a cloudy straw gold with a huge head of foam that shrank slowly leaving a solid layer with lots of lacing.

The smell is all yeasty and has strong notes of dark fruit like plum and fig as well as lemony citrus. A nice nose overall.

The taste has that sweet dark fruit and malt up front but the candi sugar mentioned on the label is what I'm noticing the most...that and a side note of banana that works its way in about midway through and adds some good depth. The finish is a nice mix of sweet and sour that leaves me smacking my mouth in an attempt to keep the flavours going. And..as far as the high abv goes, there's certainly a bit of warming but it's not present in the tasting at all. This is a Tripel that I'd buy again without hesitation!

Bottom line: This is a very good effort and worth trying if you see it in a store near you. My hat's off to Left Hand!

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is straw, spicy, dough, phenolic. Taste is very phenolic, dough, peach, estery. High carbonation, silky mouthfeel. Quite a mess.

A bit dirty. Hazy golden, white lace. Apple, mineral yeasty. Foamy light body, minerals, amateur tripple yeach.

Bottle. Yellow color. Well carbonated, which this style should be. Some wheat, honey, and it is very sweet. A little fruit and sweet finish some spices. good palate, but given how sweet it is, I am glad I shared the bottle.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention 2015. Pours clear, pale yellow with a creamy white head. Sugary pale bread in the nose, wheat, dough, light yeast expression. Big sweet flavor with more pronounced Belgian yeast now, some alcohol, ripe lemon, banana. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming and sugary on the finish with notes of alcohol, doughy wheat bread, mild phenols. Pretty OK tripel.
