Jun 15, 2008 Updated: Jun 16, 200812 oz bottle (which they just started offering, I think). A bright, refreshing tripel. Hazy golden pour with orange tint. Disappointing head. Nose of orange peel, bananas, apricots, honey and spices that go beyond simple clove or coriander. A little veg/herb note to keep it interesting. Slight floral notes when one coaxes a head. Alcohol is dangerously hidden. Longy tasty finish. I’m a little picky about tripels and don’t like them if they’re too sweet. This one has a nice crispness, almost tart. This is quite good.

Jun 12, 2008 This poured a cloudy golden body with a big fluffy head. The head was chewy and thick with a tart berry flavor. Aromas of fermented fruit, as well as wheat and spice. Sticky lacing all the way down. Mouthfeel was very full and heavily carbonated. It had a rice crispy effect in your mouth. Taste of lime, orange peel and maple syrup.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle from Liqourama. Nice golden color with no head. Very yeasty and citrus. I did like the sourness too The alcohol was hard to detect. This was my first triple and I really enjoyed it.

Jun 9, 2008 Pours a sparkling, hazy gold with very little white head that rings the glass. Belgian yeast, soured fruit, citrus, and bread in the aroma. Very smooth drink. An excellent blend of lightly sweet sugared lemon and peach at first with a nice dry hop soured finish that lingers very nicely. Not unpleasantly tart or sharp like a lot of Belgians. No hint of the 9% ABV. One of my favorite tripels for sure.

Jun 8, 2008 This is good beer. One of the best parts is the underlying abv presence, as it is not to overpowering. Quite a treat if you like tripels.

Jun 5, 2008 Opaque gold. Very drinkable but a little clean. More pepper than I recall in other tripels, but not as complex.

Jun 2, 2008 Pours a golden with nice sized off-white head. Nice fruity nose. Flavor is very well balanced of fruit, some grannysmith apples with a touch of sweetness. Great texture, one of the better tripels that I’ve had.

May 27, 2008 Purchased at Beverages for Less in Santee. Side by side with the dubbel. This one wins. Bread dough aroma, with some sweet banana. Excelent flavors of the yeasty malts. Very good.
