Commercial Description:
This golden hued ale is marked by passion fruit and herbal notes in the aroma, with subtle suggestions of banana and honey surfacing from its deep and complex palate. The Tripel's finish is remarkably long and soothing.

Bottle. Pours a light golden with a nice frothy white head. The aroma is mostly malts, spice and banana. The taste is really smooth; some coriander, holiday spices, malts, a slight fruity aspect also. Really nice and easy to drink. A well made beer.

Pours golden with a nice frothy head of tiny white bubbles. Aroma is a bit lacking, but has some of the usual spice and bread like aromas you’d expect in a triple. The flavor is excellent with the perfect balance of sweet fruit, spice and a tiny touch of alcohol. Extremely easy to drink this one. A good triple and an excellent beer.

Hazy orange pour with a huge and lasting white head. Aroma is of yeast, banana, melon, citrus and spice. Creamy mouthfeel, full-bodied. Lots of pepper up front, nice and spicy. Middle tames a bit with more of the melon and some honey. Banana towards the finish. It’s all over the place really. Lots to enjoy. I didn’t detect any alcohol but for the slight warming finish. Too tasty and easy to drink, this one is dangerous. But great!

I was really surprised how much i enjoyed this one. Nicely sourish, lemony aroma, mixed with a touch of melon. Flavor is sweet at first, but overwhelming. nice flinty notes, then a bit of herbal bitterness. As it warms, notes of rye, perhaps even sage emerge. Very satisfying and tasty.

Batch # 54. Cloudy lemon yellow hue with a 2 finger white head with tan colored specks suspended. Spicy, peppery smell with a whiff of alcohol. Medium bodied with a prickly, highly carbonated mouthfeel. Earthy, woody, spicy grain flavor here; pretty complex with a hint of black pepper, lemon and other fruits. Has a soft alcohol taste to finish. Not overly sweet like some triples, my favorite of all the domestic brands I’ve tasted so far.2005

Batch # 58 (Aged). Pours a barely translucent golden yellow with a great pure white head. Immediate explosion of spiced fruit esters fill the room. Tropical fruits, cherry, banana yeast, orange peel, clove, candied sugars and super sweet candy malt all hit the nose. First taste is super spiced and super sweet malt with tropical fruits lingering on the palate. Great yeast quality with some pineapple, green apple, clove, cherry, banana, more sweet malt, and alcohol warming. Smooth as can be and full bodied with a slight bitter edge on the finish. I now have a warm stomach and spicy breath, couldn’t have asked for better aging.

Batch #94. Barely translucent carmel in color. The nose shows off wonderful spices along with orange pulp, carmel, nuts and citrus. These flavors continued into a smooth and balanced beer with a finish that lingers with some bitnerness.
