Pours a quite hazy deep orange, not too attractive in colour. Nice head though. Average sized, pretty dense, good retention and excellent lacing. Average to high intensity in the aroma: a sugary, slightly doughish soft base, followed by quite strong fruity notes (pear, orange, peach from most to less vivid, all with a candied fruit character to them), light spiciness, a herbal/balsamic hint. Very nice aroma, perhaps not super defined. Taste notes follow the aroma quite closely, with that herbal/balsamic presence a bit more evident in finish/aftertaste. Perhaps slightly less intense than the aroma suggested but still nicely vivid; good depth, fair taste definition. Medium to high sweetness, low to medium bitterness. Has quite some sugary character but it feels overall pretty clean and the finish is definitely dry enough; all in all pretty well balanced. Well hidden alcohol, a light warming hint. Medium to dense body, average, light-bubbled carbonation (probably a bit less less carbonated than usual per style); a nice semi-fulll, quite soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Very nice tripel.
