Does anyone have any experience with using these hops in Belgian beers, specifically tripels or golden strong ales?

I've been thinking of doing a Belgian take on a bock or strong pilsner that would be a strong pale beer made from German ingredients using Belgian yeast.
 
I have used them in tripels and quads with good result.

Although there is a difference between Belgian and German pilsner malts, using a belgian yeast will give you a very belgian-styled beer, especially if you follow the temperature profile recommended for your particular yeast.

I use Hersbrucker frequently in a very traditional style Belgian Witbier and it works great. I imagine Mittelfruh would be even better. You could probably get away with any noble/semi-noble hop in a Belgian and still get fairly authentic results since they are so yeast driven.
