Jun 10, 2007 Murky golden pour at the SD County fair from the bottle. Nice sweet aroma of pear and peach. Rich flavors of fruit and some yeast without alcohol strongly noted. Smooth on the palate with a lovely finish. Quite nice for a tripel.

Jun 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice golden/orange colour. The aroma is sweet with spices, caramel and has a bready maltiness. The flavour is sweet, with a good toasty maltiness, yeast, spices, caramel, fruits and hops. The finish is spiced and malty. Great brew!

Jun 7, 2007 Københavnske Øldage 07. Golden with a nice aroma with notes of yeast, coriander and biscuits. The flavour has sweetness, notes of caramel, coriander, fruit and citrus. It has a nice balance, but IMO it’s a bit too sweet. 2121

Jun 6, 2007 Batch 97. Pours a hazy, orangey-golden color with an average, white, frothy head; a small amount sticks around persistantly with tight lacing. Nose is lovely with yeast and bananas over the top with nice cloves and cinnamony pie crust below. Light notes of ripe peaches and herbally spices. Flavor is nice but without the pie crust notes and more spiciness and bitterness than expected. Yeast is still dominant with fruits of banana and light ripe peach. Other notes of faint honey and spices of cloves, pepper, and herbs; moderate bitterness matches the spiciness. Soothing is a good way to describe the palate, as the description goes, with it being medium bodied, soft feeling, creamy, and moderate carbonation. Finishes quite long with herbs, pepper, yeast, and a faint remainining cinnamon. One of the best tripels I’ve had to date with such a good balance between spicing, bitterness, fruits, and yeast. Herbal characteristics make for an interesting twist on a fairly straight forward style.

My first Trippel from the land of faith, hope and charity, and im filled with blind faith, and hope that they will take my hand and walk me in too a new view of the trippel.......... but no.......Sorry. the taste of yeast is a bit out of controle and not in the in the Belgian way, it is the taste of slurry, and not propertyes of the belgiean yeast.

Jun 5, 2007 Bottle, 9% at KØ07. Asparagus aroma. Cloudy golden colour. The flavour has a little asparagus, too, but it is still nice. Quite peppery and spicy. Not bad.

Jun 1, 2007 Batch # 68 found at the Liquor Depot in CO Springs, CO. and stashed in my cellar for a year or two. Cloudy gold color with massive head. Malt nose with a hint of sweetness and spice and a similar body.

May 30, 2007 Poured a hazy golden with a billowing white head in a wide-mouthed Trappist glass. Nose was spicy and alive with some doughy malt notes. Palate was absolutely smooth and silk-like. Flavor was many of the best in the tripel style: nice spicy herbal quality, cinnamon, pear, and many more. This brew was so good that it reminded me of the excellence of Allagash. It also reminded me to rate beers that are well made, something I hadn’t done in months. It’s wonderful how eye-opening a solid brew can be.
