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 from Sams in Chicago. Hazy orange pour with a very small head. Aroma of apples/bananas. Tastes of oranges, bananas, apples, citrus fruits. Champagne like. Quite a tasty tripel.

Poured from a bomber, The head quickly dissipates leaving a llovely thin light tan foam. The nose conjures up banana beard tinged with kiwi, sans the nuts. The palate shows a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness (nice hops.) One very lovely domestic tripel.

An unclear orange beer with no head. Aroma was nice fruity, & pepper. The taste is very smooth fruity with the alcohol hidden very well. A very nice tripel.

Hazy yellow color with orange hints. White head that disappears quickly. Aroma of coriander, banana, vanilla, and yeast. Spicy flavor with banana, bread, and vanilla dominant. Very nice beer!

Bottle. Pours a large, pitted, creamy white head. Clingy. Hazy yellow body. Lemon-citrus aroma with coriander, light vanilla and bread. Crisp pale malt flavor, more Belgian spice, smooth wheat malt. Moderate (too much for me) alcohol is distracting and detracting. Light, crisp body. Lots of alcohol that lingers. Overall this beer has lots of potential, but the abundant alcohol distracts.

12 oz bottle. Cloudy yellow-golden with a heavy lacing, meringue-sparkling white head. Heavy coriander nose with light grain and lemon. Taste is startingly boozy without the burn, heavy vanilla with some wheat and grain. Dryish with heavy booze on the aftertaste, but again, it’s gentle and only warms the chest. Might be better with food. Burp revealed a nice rush of citrus (sort of kiwi-mango) that wasn’t previously present in the mouth. Misses the mark, wide right.

Pours from the brown 22oz. "bomber" bottle marked batch #134 a stunningly beautiful golden hue, a cloudy, slightly orange color that is almost too pretty to drink. Of course, the standard large foamy Belgian head fills almost half the tulip glass, with a pillar of carbonation rising from the center of the glass where the stem meets the bowl. The aroma is of sweet citrus fruit, candy & sugar. 1st sip is of sweet candied citrus fruit (orange, lemon, tangerine) peel & honey, followed by a surprisingly dry, white wine-like finish. The citrus peel flavor reappears on the swallow & lingers tantalizingly afterwards. There is a champagne sparkle on the tongue. Drinkability is off the charts...it should almost be against the law for a 9% abv beer to go down this smoothly & easily. Overall...wow, Wow, WOW!!! This is about as good as it gets in the beer world!!!

Batch #133. The nose is really spicy with notes of clove, but light, and vanilla. Pours a hazy golden with white head. Flavor has notes of grapefruit, coriander and bananas. Has a bitter finish.
