thornecb (1033), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Apr 9, 2008 Pours gold into a trappist glass. Malt, biscuit and alcohol aromas. Crisp, yet full with tingly sweet alcohol from front to back. Slight lasting pepper finish.
phishpond417 (1360), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Aug 20, 2008 Sampled from bottle: pours a vibrant, translucent golden-orange colour with a small white head. Lacing left behind is scattered, but noticeable. Based on my stuffed up nose, the aroma is of bananna, honey and ripe mangoe. Taste is sweet, bubbly with plenty of tropical fruits. Pineapple and lime. Finishes very nicely. HughConway (259), USA Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden with thin white head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Taste is of fruit, slightly sour. Pleasant beer, nothing special. Needs refinement. soyorganic (111), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 8, 2008 Bomber. This beer reminded my a lot of New Belgium’s trippel and it made me hard not to think that. True to the light Belgian style ale with the alcohol not very noticeable. Banana and yeasty notes complimented with a little bit of hops. I guess I was expecting more or maybe I am not very fond of the style. ajm (304), USA Aug 5, 2008 Tap at Pap. I don’t usually like lighter Belgians, but this was very nice. Reminded me of Castelaine de Garde but stronger and with more bite. Tart mulberries, yeast, sourdough bread, funk are what I picked up, mixed up in that classic ’trippel’ taste. Tastes like it’s from Belgium, not Boulder, so I guess they hit their mark. Sparky27 (498), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 4, 2008 Bomber. Pours a cloudy honey color with one finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is mild apricot/citrus aroma and yeast. Taste is yeast, light bubblegum, spice and a bitter hop finish mixed with alcohol. Medium, tingly mouth feel. Not bad, but not something I would seek out again.
