altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Apr 12, 2009 Bottle "Tripel Ale" from Brattleboro Food Co-op. Dark yellow body with thin, rocky head. Floral nose with banana and orange aroma.

Flavor has light spices and coriander, citrus. meeple (52), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Orange tan, meidum small off white head. Smells of bread, pear, clove. A little sweet malt, then turns bready, finishes with some nice spice and a bit of bitterness. A highly enjoyable triple.
yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Mar 27, 2009 Nice dark yellow orange color and great fluffy head. Nice aroma of spice and fruit. Some citrus, orange, and pinapple. Taste is yeasty and crisp with a lot of spice. Nice sweetness and some hops too. A bit of alcohol and dry end. tarheels86 (704), Washington DC, USA Mar 21, 2009 750 mL into tulip. Pours a deep cloudy orange with a thick, IPA-like, beige head that sticks around and leaves some spotty lacing. Subdued aroma of dry hops, orange peel, yeast, and dough. Taste is- wow- much more alcoholic and warming than I expected. After the initial shock, there is fresh orange, pineapple, apricots, and other light fruits in the complex mix. Not too sweet though with good balancing spicy hops. Fruity, dry finish. suchen (81), , Pennsylvania, USA Mar 20, 2009 Maybe some oxygen got into this bottle, but it had a hoppy pilsner-like dry bitterness to it of which I was not a fan. There was an awesome thick white head on top of a cloudy golden beer. Excellent lacing as well. Aroma was yeast and spices with some banana. Flavor was very slight honey and banana sweetness followed by an ugly bitterness perhaps best enjoyed by hop heads. Finish would be very enjoyable without the bitterness. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 8, 2009 bottle - Pours cloudy gold with an ample head. It smells of yeast with citrus and bready malt. The flavor is sweet and citrus rich with very apparent yeast and a medium, bubbly body. It’s quite good, but I’m not getting the complexity that others are finding to make it great. ben4321 (957), Rockville, Maryland, USA Mar 3, 2009 Location: 750ml Bottle (A Gift Purchased at the Whole Foods in Union Sq NY, NY)
