ElGaucho56 (386), USA Nov 22, 2007 750 ml, Duvel glass. Pours a delectable orange-gold with voluminous fluffy white head. Nice islands of lacing left on the glass. Nose is rather wheaty, strong lemon peel citrus, a bit of yeasty snap, grassy/hay hops, candi sugar. Rather nice and full on the palate, fluffy, very smooth towards the finish, minty hop bitterness slowly creeps up and envelops the palate. A rather nice American tripel. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Nov 18, 2007 750 ml bottle - Pours a hazy golden color with a 3/4 finger thick white head. Light lacing. Aroma is yeast, esters, and bread. Flavor is yeast and esters with a touch of spice. A smooth, medium body beer. Good stuff. Dedollewaitor (3625), Odense, Denmark Nov 18, 2007 Unclear orange with a fine white lasting creamy head & lacings. Aroma is of yeast, fruits - peach & orange, alcohol & some spices. The alcohol bites the cheek a bit and the carbonation is quite high. Other than that its a full bodied well crafted tripel. Light sweet & sticky before a dry end! SSSteve (2049), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Nov 17, 2007 batch #105. cloudy dark gold pour with a small white head. flavors of creamed corn, citrus hops and yeast. aroma hops(grass) and yeast. medium bodied. not a bad beer, but i enjoyed some of their other offerings a lot more. BossHossBikes (147), Tennessee, USA Nov 17, 2007 Bottle thanks to NachlamSie. Blind tripel tasting with Chimay CInq Cents, Westmalle Tripel, and Tripel Karmeliet with NachlamSie and Muenster. The pour is a cloudy golden with a pale white lasting head. The aroma is spicy with a caramel sweetness and pear citrus. As the brew hits the tongue, the citrusy pear and orange is slightly dominant over the spiciness, but not by much. As the brew progresses its decent down the tongue into the throat, the spiciness becomes more apparent, overpowering the citrus and sweetness. As it passes the tongue, hops qualities surprisingly arise along with a quick burst of spiciness. In the end, the hops, spice, citrus, and sweetness levels nearly evenly. It’s really nice and complex and is my favourite out of the four in the blind tasting. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Nov 16, 2007 Pours bright golden and mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of coriander, honey, pepper, and alcohol. Taste is sweet, citric, yeasty with notes of earthy malt, honey, flowery esters. Mouthfeel is full bodied, lightly sticky with lush carbonation. Very nice tripel. pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 5, 2007 10/6/07 bottle. Foggy yellow color. The smell isn’t entirely awful - it seems to be a mix of sour patch kids candy and feet. Overly bubbly on the palate. Taste is strange and just not very complex in my opinion. undsioux7 (553), Cologne, Minnesota, USA Nov 4, 2007 Pours light orange with a nice big white head. Aroma of honey, lemon, citris. Taste is roughly the same. Nice beer to go with food.
