Sample from bottle during a 'bierproeverij' at Remko's place. Didn't take any notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. Ok Tripel, not as sweet as a lot of other Tripels are, fortunately.

Aroma of malts, fruits, yeast, spices. Flavour is malty, sweetness, herbal, with light hop bitterness in the finish. Not bad, not very special.

Tap at Noord-Hollands Bierfestival, Alkmaar: Hazy orange coloured brew with an fine sweet taste, an decent Tripel from this defunct brewery.

33 cl bottle poured, from De Bierkoning. Thanks! Bright golden orange pour, patchy head. Listed at 8.1% Sweet nose to this, with notes of honey, belgian yeast, floral character, and orange fruit. Rich notes carry over to flavor, but not to the point where this tripel tastes as strong as it is. A honey like sweetness and linger, with a more dense body, and gentle bitterness late. Fun and enjoyable tripel here.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus Culemborg. Hazy golden with a white head. Yeasty fruity aroma. Sweet taste with a sweet bitter finish. High carbonation. Very nice fruity tripel.

Bottled (as Saense Tripel, from Biertonne). Honeyish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is alcohol, spices, some sweet malts and mild floral tones. Flavour is fruity, some alcohol, spices and mild nectary tones. Sticky sweet finish and aftertaste.
