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.

750ml bottle, batch 83, shared with VeloVampire - pours vibrant, cloudy golden with a big rocky head on top. Light, fruity, citrusy, yeasty aroma that gives away not even a trace of alcohol. Flavour is full of banana, orange, and other citrus, along with bread, honey and Belgian candi sugar. Very light and delicate flavour. Not as robust as other Tripels, but that is not a fault here, and the finish is beautifully long and complex. It’s remarkable to me how light this is considering the high ABV, which reveals itself at no time. An extremely nice, American brewed Belgian ale.

Best beer I’ve had in a while. Light and aromatic and manages to cover the high alcohol very well. I would drink this all the time if it were more inexpensive and accesible. Amazing.

750ml bottle pours a cloudy copper color, with a thick tan head, and descent lacing. Overall I was a little disappointed, with a 98 score, I was expecting more. A quality brew. Batch #86

Hazey pale body with a large, beige head. The aroma is banana, clove, candi sugar and golden raisins. The flavor is bread, candi, honey, light banana and raisins with light sweetness. Medium body with moderate carbonation, slightly prickly, dense with just a touch of chalkiness on the finish. Excellent American brewed Belgian.

I am caught on the fence on this beer. Aroma, appearance were ok. The flavor was definitly a little sweet, maybe that of peach, but quickly gave way to an almost moldy taste. I wasn’t fanatical about that. Needs another go.

Fruity smell. This had very light and delicate appearance, with a very deep and complex taste. I haven’t really had anything as deep as this in the color that it is.

This beer was dissapointing to say the least. After puring it the nose smelled like a budweiser. flavor was not in a triple profile at all. Alcohol was masked well, color was excellent. But bleh, never again...

At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. Pours thick hazy gold with a serious white head that does not last very long. Cotton candy aroma with light fruity flavors of banana and pineapple. Yeasty and medicinal palate. Very good domestic attempt at a tripel.
