4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge white, creamy and slowly collapsing head. Subdued spiced, light caramel malt note and mild yeasty in a fine mix meets the nose as the first impression. Flavour starts sweet and delicate fruity, slowly going into a more spiced and dry flavour yet still with a nice level of caramel. Dry and spiced finish, yet smooth and nice in texture and into the finish flavour.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Rivers Bend. Poured hazy orange color with an average frothy white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Complex spicy fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium citrus balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to moderate duration with a small alcohol bite. This is a refreshing standout beer.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Starts off with a fluffy white head with a slightly cloudy golden body. The head doesn’t last too long, though. The scent is fruit mixed with alcohol and has a taste to match. The beer ends with a bitter aftertaste. Once this brew has had time to warm up the alcohol becomes more noticeable and takes on an almost rum-type flavour. Overall, I found this tripel a bit too harsh for my liking.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
75cl bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa, FL). Rated on 3/18/08. Pours a semi-clear golden with white, frothy head. Smells of yeast, bread, straw, faint hint of citrus and raisin. Flavor is a little sweet with notes of ripe fruit, hops, yeast and grass. Quick finish with a somewhat light to medium body.
5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
This remains to be my favorite beer. I have yet to find something more satisfying and enjoyable.
