Draught at Kulminator. Deep copper colour with lasting thin beige head. Some tangerine, yeast and lime as well as malt and candy sugar. Smooth in mouth, good mouthfeel actually. Tangerine/lime fruit on finish. Not too sweet and extremely pleasant.

Bottle. Sweet plum aroma. Amber color with moderate head. Sweet raisin flavor up front with moderate tannic flavor. Little body for a tripel. Easy to drink and not unpleasant but not like the other spectacular Belgian tripels.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber-coloured with a quickly fading head that does leave some lacing though. Some impurities afloat in the brew although no bottle fermentation - De Koninck has no real tradition for that. Mostly this beer is just plain sweet - actually way too sweet. The Saazer hops are on a hopeless mission trying to balance out the sugars. Doesn’t remind me of a Tripel at all. Very disappointing De Koninck. 150505

An amber beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and alcohol. And the flavor is just like the aroma.

Golden color. Ordinary Strong Ale, the residual sweetness (with some malt taste) makes of it an easy drinkable one, nevertheless with a quite strong final bitterness. Hides quite well the alcohol content.

Clear sparkling yellow color, nice medium creamy head, splendid appearance. Aroma is spicy of coriander. Bit sweet taste for a tripel, but nicely balanced. Very drinkable triple indeed.

Very pale amber, crystal-clear; no head, just little white rim - for De Koninck! First impression of rotting vegetables, wocked in sesame/soy oil. Sesame nose, plus a bit of caramel keeps hanging around. Damn! That sesame oil is back in the taste! Plus liquorice and roasted peanuts this time, dissolved in cooking brandy. Quite alcoholic. Body seems thinner than it is. Nice warming throatfeel. My God, what have they done?? The makers of the Beer I used to measure all beers with! O tempora, o mores - I left Antwerpen for one year, and this is the result? New rating 30/03/05 at the brewery. Two different versions, 75cl unpasteurised and 33cl pasteurised Clear pure copper colour, yellow-pink (melon) coloured head. Vegetable nose, again with an oily component, but NOT sesame - and the veggies weren’t rotting this time; sweet malts taste, milky. Fruity, yeasty esters ending in a just sourish edge. Thick, nearly chewt MF, very sweet and un-dry for a tripel, oily. No doubt the effect of the cane-sugar. Please try the 3/4l bottles if you can find them - much better.
