Bottle at Delirium. Poured a cloudy gold with a white head. The aroma had a fruity aroma. The flavor was sweet and fruity with a slight metallic flavor.

Bottle: Deep golden, cloudy,UFO’s visible, stable, creamy foamy layer; sugar, caramel and orange peel in the nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; short, solid sweet-fruity finish with a light but distinctive tartness. Not very exciting, but well crafted and well quaffable..............

Dark yellow, with an amber tinge. Very cloudy. Tall head, going down rather quickly and leaving the lace around the glass. Strong aroma of yeast, malt, banana, spice, hops. Strong tasting, malty with strong yeast and decent hops. Some fruit, like pears or apples. Some lemon and citrus too. Sour, slightly bitter and strong finish, lasting quite long. Very nice, dry. Sweet in the middle. Strong and dry finish. Not amazingly complex but far better than their normal beers.

Bottle, many times. I like this tripel, and it’s widely distributed. Cloudy amberblond beer, white head. Floral aroma of fruits, yeast and malts. Flavour is ripe fruits and sweet, yeasty, spicy, a bit sour. Soft mouthfeel, dry finish. Just very good.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of heavy (thanks!) 8.5% I think. Poured a murky darker orange body with a medium sized thick white head that went away relatively slowly. Odd nose that I didn’t like much. Some "orange" flavoured cough syrup and alcohol. Ugh. The taste is pleasant if a bit light. Spicey, run of the mill candied orange. Some alcohol... a bit warming. Weak weak herbal hop aftertaste. Not the best solid around but InBev did a pretty solid job with this one. I’d have it again.

26/05 0.33 l bottle from belgianshop.com. Poured hazy orange body with medium head. Standard tripel aroma, a bit harsh banana, orange and some spices. Flavor is bitterish, spicy and fruity, very nice balanced and tasty. Alcohol is well hidden in its creamy, full body, finishing in bitterish spicy way. Much better than I’ve expected, so it makes a good tripel.
