| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 3, 2003 Batch 32: Hazy blond body, white head. Very light aroma of banana and spice. Very carbonated, bubblegum flavor with lemon and other fruits. Excellent. Cobra (1066), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 15, 2003 750 ml. caged & corked bottle. Batch # 39. No freshness date that I can see. Poured out a hazy, bright orange color, with a humongus head on it. The head slowly faded to a large yeasty island floating on top of the beer. Aromas were of tropical fruit, and a slight lemon aroma as well. I think this bottle has passed it's prime, but I'll drink it all the same. Tasted ok, malty as all hell, and the hops were somewhat subdued by the lemon taste. I never noticed any banana aromas, but maybe this bottle didn't have any.
Finished somewhat dry, had a thinnish body to it as well. Had a decent alcohol kick to it. Fairly good example of the style, I only wish I could have tried it a bit fresher. ben4321 (1061), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Hazy rich golden color with a medium, but fading white head. Aroma is spicy and tropical fruit sweet. Flavor starts fruity sweet (peach/apricot) with spice followed by a light citrus bitterness and a lightly dry orangy finish. Medium bodied and creamy with moderate carbonation. Alcohol well hidden, but makes its presence known. MrBendo (1052), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Flaske. Flot orange øl, med et lille skumhoved, og klart mindre karbonering end belgiske trippels. Masser af frugt i duften. SMagen er mere humlet end ellers, med en fin bitterhed til at balancere sødmen. En nøddeagtig honningsmag kommer frem som øllen opvarmes. Alkoholen er komplet skjult kold, men kommer også frem med varmen og giver en god balance. Rigtig lækker øl.
