Dark foxy-red; dirty light-brown head, fast dissipating. Nose promesses rich dark malts, but not overwhelming. Bit nutty too. Sweet-bitter at the same time, not very pleasant impression. Nauseating sweet and overly roasted malts. Roasted feature gives a touch of acidity. Medium to full bodied. Hint of alcohol, warming. Aftertaste is long combination of sweet, roasted and alcohol. Never gonna be my favourite. Heavily pushed in Belgium the last year. Not sure why - I even prefer their unfiltered Pilsener.

Amber color. Nice aroma, fruity (banana, peach), spices. Good body strength, malty, spicy. Tastes like a Tripel, but it's a Brune!

Just another pilsener. Typical hoppy skunky aroma. Quite bitter palate. The belgian beertender was surprised that i ordered this Primus instead of Stella Artois. And when i said that i'd never had Primus before and wanted to taste it, he thought that i'd never tasted any belgian beer before. They had to know...

Pale yellow, more slight opaque than hazy. Slight white head. Nose of coriandre, herbal. Taste is coriandre, some other spice as well (paradise seed?), very slight bitterness; retronasal impression of citrus (Pomelo). Refreshing. Overall not the worst wit in existence, though I seem to remember it more bitter, pilsner-like.

Quite clear brown color, off-white medium lasting head. Soft chocolate malty aroma. Taste is very soft malty, easy to drink, creamy and watery body. Palate is a bit metallic. Very decent double.

Slightly hazy , light yellow color, medium lasting head. Spicy aroma, sharp like nutmeg, clove or ginger, can't be precise. Sharp spicy taste, bit yeasty and malty. Watery finish, prickling alcoholic. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tongerlo PRIOR Tripel on 13 Oct 2015 at 14:52 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: Bottle from Mitra Bunnik, BB 21/11/16, large sample. Almost clear yellow to golden color, huge rocky head. Aroma is quite spicy, cardamom, earthy and floral hop, apple. Soft bitterness, quite alcoholic, bit sharp even, apple sweetness. Quite high on carbonation, fairly dry. Quite decent tripel, but a little on the alcoholic side. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tongerlo PRIOR on 06 Aug 2019 at 20:55 - Score: 7

(Draught) Gold with orange-yellow shine. Little head, white & lacy. Malty nose, something sourish but not unpleasant. Taste is sweet malt, crystal malt, can't contain much hops. There is a fresh bitterness, 'würzig' in German beer. Mouthfeel is a bit ampty. In the palate, the sweetness becomes pure glucose-like. First impression is positive. From there it goes downhill. Its peach-like appearance promesses too much.

Red-brown beer. White head. Malty and fruity flavours. Nice litlle glass. In contrast of the other raters on this page, I liked this beer.

Sampled draught at Helsinki Beer Festival.
Hazy, pale yellow. Some orange aroma. Lightly fruity, light bedied with mellow body. Too sweet and mellow to be really refreshing.
