Pours a clear golden colour with an average white head. Aroma of malts, bread, ripe fruits.Taste is quite sweet, sugary. In fact, a bit too sugary for me to return to it. Also too much alcohol in the taste. Dry finish. Average at best, there are so many better tripels available.

Pours a completely clear golden body and and a rocky, somehwat sticky white head with little retention. Aroma's: pretty typical Belgian tripel, fruity and sugar, along with esters and Belgian yeast. Flavour is moderate sweet with some bitternes. Medium bodied. Finishes with some caramel, moderate bitter. I used to loathe Grimbergen long time ago, but it's not that bad (anymore).

Bottle from Wine Raks, St Swithin St. It pours clear oily golden - amber with a a lasting, fluffy white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, oily, perfumed, dried apples, pear drops, melon, candy, boiled sweets, caramel, toasty brown sugars, toasty grain and some sponge cake. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet, sweet - sour, damp grain, grassy vibes, herbal, spicy, floral, pear, apple, melon, kick of fairly alcohol, toasty grain and straw with a drying, spicy finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice fruity twang, if a touch raw in the booze front.

From a 75 cl shared bottle. French version from Kronenbourg at 8.0 % abv. Clear, amber-golden colour with a dense white head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, spices, and fruits. The taste is light sweet. Medium to full body. Slightly drying fruity spicy finish with some alcohol dense notes. Fair, somewhat basic.
