The beer pours with a very large strong foamy head and a hazy orange-golden color. Some visibility but not too much, can just barely make out the bubbles swimming in the beer. The head does not stick around too long but turns into a surface covering lacing.
In general it seems that the beer needs more time for the flavor to meld better. Right now it’s a mix of light perfume, faint bubblegum and a lot of pilsner-like malts. It’s weird and not really working well. The yeasty part ends up being very citric, which is weird again. But I really think with time this well get better and meld.
Everything else is normally done, in the tripel area, a light body especially for the strength. Some cheap sugar sweetness and above average carbonation, spiky mouthfeel.
750mL capped bottle with a different label, Rodenbach Grand Cru tulip glass.

Yellow with floating particles. Big and bubbly white head. Grapefruit, wheat and yeast in the aroma. Dry and yeasty with a lemon juice-like acidity. Which is not the same as pleasant tartness.

Hazy copper beer, with a few bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass - semi-sweet, belgian sugar aroma, with perfume/flower/tea-like notes, and a thick, musky sort of smell - very mild honey sweetness up front - subtle spice character, some grain/bread, and an odd milkiness cross the palate - all the flavors are hard to make out, making the beer appear to be nearly flavorless at times, so the beer is subtle to a fault - I’m picking up some innocuous herbal flavors - man, if only these flavors would assert themselves more, this beer would be great.

Clear red brown beer with a nice and fluffy off-white head. Fruity aroma with raisins, cherry, marzipan, brown sugar and a little alcohol. Rather sweet caramel flavour with lots of Belgian yeast character, but overall, the beer is quite one-dimensional.

Warm, caramel malty aroma. Light amber color with a vigorus off-white head. Thin to medium in body, with a very mild carbonation. Starts with sweet caramel malt, offset with something like n-amyl acetate. Light belgian spice notes. A little heat. Something like hop offsets the malt. The finish is dry and "sweetly astringent". A little floral/veg hangs around. Perhaps some vanilla arrives at the end. Interesting, tasty, and very drinkable.

Hazy golden color; thin creamy head. Some aroma of Belgian yeast, beans. Sweetish flavor, some malt. Not very exciting, but pleasant.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Clear, deep golden with a creamy, white head leaving some laces. Fresh, fruity and somewhat perfumy aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet malts and fruit. Lightly bitter finish. Pleasant and harmonious. 171107

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a huge and gushing white head. Softly spiced and slight malty aroma. Soft spiced flavour with a mild sweetness. Clearly more light than a classic triple, yet it has some smoothness to it that is really pleasant. Ends soft caramel malty.

A mediocre beer. gold color with sediment, it does look good. Mild yeasty aroma with malt, and flavor has bread, moderate malt, some hops and some sugar, but all of the flavors are quite light.
