The_Jester (500), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Nov 19, 2006 330 mL bottle from LCBO gift pack. Orange-gold with one finger of creamy head. The usual bananas and spice thing with the distinct aroma of alcohol. Alcohol is there, but not as prominent as expected in the flavour. Fruity at first, on the sweet side, then momentary tanginess, then a hoppy finish. Very pleasant for such a strong beer.
presario (2441), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 7, 2008 Golden amber with a lasting thin sticky head. Strong aroma honey, peach-apricot and a bit of yeast. A little rough and dirty for a Tripel. Lots of fruit flavour similar to aroma with a bitterness to it. deft (69), Sweden Sep 28, 2008 Sampled from gnoff’s bottle, at Tre små rum 2008-05-28. Hazy orange (with small particles in it), plenty of fluffy off-white head. Bananas in aroma (kind of wheat-beer-ish) and spices. Surprisingly bitter taste, bread tones and more bananas. Spritzy. Derek881 (345), Frederick, Maryland, USA Sep 26, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass. Good, crisp Belgian aroma with a sweet candy and fruity smell mixed with some lighter citrus hops. A pale amber to dark straw color with an average sized, slightly creamy, white head that had good retention and cling. The flavor was somewhat disappointing however, featuring a sweet candy taste with a lightly bitter citrus undertone, but also seemed heavily watered. The body too was somewhat thinner and watery, with a good fizzyness and slightly dry finish. It’s a good beer, but not great, I was hoping for better. Snojerk321 (1021), San Diego, California, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pale yellow with a very large white head, mostly lasting, fine lacing. Aroma heavy malty (fruity, spicy), light hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter. Medium/full body, heavy carbonated. pepperford (108), robbinsdale, Minnesota, USA Sep 7, 2008 very light, almost pilsner-ish with a large rocky head. Orange and a bit of soap/corriander in the aromas. Flavors are delicate, a slight nuttiness, orange, an a hint of flinty hop bitterness and a touch of sweetness in the finish.
