3.2 Bottle in Belgium. Golden color, white head. Sweet Grassy bitter finish

3.4 Widely distributed Tripel, bottle from a Colruyt. Pours clear golden with a big, lasting, frothy, off-white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of yeast, white bread, grass, jenever, juniper, unripe banana & yellow apple; Taste is light fruity sweet, a bit estery with apple & unripe banana, and light to medium grassy bitter, slightly spicy with a basic bready & doughy maltiness. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish but not in a very firm kind of way, some spices, lingering sweetish banana ester, warming jenever alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Very correct Tripel, nothing surprising, and this has become somewhat of our 'house brand' at home. As long as it substitutes a possible Grimbergen or - God forbid - Leffe Tripel, I'm okay with that.

3.7 Vol mondgevoel,zacht van smaak lekker zoetje een 8,5

3.9 Goudblond bier, genoeg koolzuur. Geur mout, bloesem zurig. Smaak mout bloesem, kruiden, zuurtje, bittertje. Medium mondgevoel. Bitter en zoet. Gewoon een lekker bier

2.9 Fruity blend with floral note, bit too harsh ABV spiking through at times. Moderate to light sweetness with light bitterness. Decent

3.6 Minstens 10 x geproefd (meestal ten huize van broer Lieven) laatst in mei 2018 (via Colruyt). Bijna helder goudblond met royale witte schuimkraag. Aroma: zoet, moutig, beetje fruit, alcohol. Medium body. Smaak: zoetje, moutig, lichtfruitig, zachtjes hopbitter en alcoholtoets. Gewoon lekkere tripel die veel mensen kan bekoren.

3.6 Tripel met tonen van perzik en abrikoos, evenals graan en wat gras. Licht pittig en moutig. Prima.

3.2 33cl Bottle @ Saveur-Biere, Lille, France. Hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is yeast, fruits, citrus, spices. Taste follows the aroma. Medium body, average carbonation.

2.9 The beer has got a hazy golden colour with a steady head and smooth body. Aroma of Belgian yeast and fruits. Taste of Belgian yeast, fruits, bread and flowers. Belgian finish.

2.9 Zacht romig blond trippel. Lekker maar voor mij mag het iets specialer. Fijn biertje als aperitief

4.4 Gyllene, dimmig. Aromen fruktig, lätt syrlig med en ton av honung. Smaken har citrus, aprikos. Sötman från malten är lång, avslutas med måttlig beska. Mycket bra. Denna öl sägs vara identisk med Affligem tripel(?) o det kan stämma smakmässigt. Dock ej parallelltestat dom.

3.7 330mL bottle from International Beer Collector. BB 14-04-19 Pale gold body, reasonably clear, holds a big creamy white head. Good ripe fruity esters on the nose - squishy pear, apple, peach, white pepper, clove, pale caramel/golden syrup. Lovely big thick creamy, almost silky texture, holds on, sticky, boozy, nice. Sweet grain malts, lots of ripe perry pear notes, bruised apple, juicy peach, vanilla & clove & pepper dry things out, moderately sweet finish, warming booze is integrated for the most part. Enjoyed this!

5.0 Heerlijke tripel fris fruitig met een droge afdronk

3.5 From bottle. Transfer of an earlier rating without text recorded, rating only.

3.4 Fles thuis gedeeld met Roelzie. Het is een troebel geel bier met een dun beige schuim. Het heeft een moutig wat kruidige geur. De smaak is zoet, kruidig en wat gistachtig.

3.4 33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij. Clear golden with a big white head. Fruity yeasty aroma. Sweet taste. A classic Belgian abby tripel.

3.2 Sweet Tripel beer. Bitterness is low. Aftertaste ist not intense. Alkohol is dominant. Carbonization is rather high. Not my favourite Tripel, but not bad. 330 ml bottle from Colruyt in Antwerp.

3.7 Bouteille 33 cl - couleur or, fines bulles, mousse blanche, odeur fruité, goût sur le houblon, l’ananas, la prune jaune, classique mais bonne

3.6 19/08/2016 - part of a 33cl bottle @ my mother-in-law’s. Light golden with nice head. Spicy, citrus. Typical but not overly sweet and a light bitterness.

3.5 Bottle @home. Golden slight haze. Teo finger foam. Herbal saaz like. Faint yeasty notes too. Fine alcoholic slight peppery. Bone dry. Fine tripel. Clean.

3.8 an easy nice tripel beer. a fruity and fresh beer with a good price/quality ratio in the Colruyt supermarket in Belgium

3.5 Mooie gele kleur met een goede kraag. Ruikt fruitig, kruiden, citrus. Smaakt zoetig, fruitig, kruiden. Niet te zoet. Aardige tripel.

3.7 Bottle @home. Dorato carico celato, schiuma bianca fine e poco persistente. Aroma molto intenso non troppo complesso ma fine.lievito belga e zucchero candito. Speziato, pastafrolla e zenzero, burro, alcool, fruttato di uva. Gusto dolce amabile, fruttato di pesca sciroppata, poco amaro. Speziato pungente. Molto corposa, piena , decisamente rotonda, calda (non troppo ben nascosto), carbonatazione fine, debole. Non del tutto equilibrata ma perfettamente armonica

3.1 33cl bottle at home (10 VI 2016). Dark golden, clear tripel with huge, snow white head. Classic flavours with some black spices, banana leaves, herbs, malts and yeasts. The carbonation is pretty high, the mouthfeel is rich and sugarish. The big body is alcohol warming, with lots of sweets and bitter notes. A that spiced and with a round, even soft mouth. The ending is long, bitter, sweet and spiritful! The alcohol certainly is omnipresent, overpowered even, but I couldn’t care less in a tripel. This is a classic, straigtforward and a quite heavy Belgian blonde. Decent and tasteful. 33cl bottle at home (7 VII 2021), as Postel Tripel. A 9% ABV abbey beer from Alken-Maes. Little hazy, golden orange brew, and some brown dashes, with a lovely white snowy collar on top. the nose has lots of malts, bread and yeasts features, with in the background some undefinable fruits. Think of peach or apricot, maybe some banana leaves too. The mouthfeel has a very boozy character, which is somewhat annoying, hiding different spices and herbs. The full-bodied taste has heaps of sweets, some bubble gum, few wheat, little caramel. Apart from its firm alcoholic power, this tripel comes forward as an archetype Belgian tripel. Classic, for sure.

3.2 F: huge, frothy, white, average lasting. C: yellow, hazy, non-transparent. A: malty, light citrus, grassy, banana, hay, yeast, spicy. T: sweet malty, light grassy bitterness, peaches, coriander, orange peels, yeasty, banana, medium full body, lively carbonation, 9% ABV, 0,33l bottle from Colruyt supermarket in Brussels.

3.5 Makkelijk doordrinkbare tripel. Zacht en droog, maar met een klein zoetje. Zacht in koolzuur, tonen van citrus. Goed zomerbiertje.

3.6 Bottle 33 cl. Belle mousse blanche persistante pour cette triple or limpide aux petites bulles excitantes. Des arômes de fruit. Une mise en bouche tout ce qu’il y a d’agréable, pas trop alcoolisée, bon goût, petite amertume et fraîcheur ...même en hiver !

3.3 Dorée légèrement orangée, particules en suspension, collet moyen de tenue moyenne. Arômes fruités, ananas et orange. Longueur un peu faible pour une bière forte, peu amertume

3.5 Helder geel bier met schuim. Smaak is krachtig hoppig bitter en licht zoetig met lange afdronk. Lichte citrus smaak. Erg goed.

2.7 looks yellow to golden clear little foam light fruit aroma tastes light fruit sweet nothing special
