thebeertourist (2750), Oslo, Norway Nov 20, 2008 From bottle at Salone del Gusto 2008. Cloudy golden, small white head. Spicy and fruity aroma, quite a bit of coriander. Good fruity flavours blending with coriander. A solid, but rough NY tripel. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Nov 20, 2008 This one poured a golden orange color with a big foamy white head that recedes slowly and leaves spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is of sweet citrus fruits, malts, some hops, and spices. The flavor follwed suit with citrus fruits, malts and cinnamon spices. It had that nice strong ale flavor with the belgian yeast in it. The body was medium with the right amount of carbonation and smooth spicy finish. This was easy drinking with some good sweet flavor to it. Nicely done.
fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Nov 18, 2008 Lots of bready aromas off this 750 ml bottle. Some fruit and more yeast on the flavor. Malty sweet with a very nice finish. Good stuff. mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 18, 2008 (Bomber served in trappist glass on Nov. 7, 2008) Poured a murky and dull orange yellow, razor thin head formed, stayed throughout the partaking of it, and laced. Aroma of yeast, malt, and various dark and sweet fruits. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt is pleasureable but is immediately overtaken by what I would call the "Starburst effect"- nice fruit sensations everywhere! Finish refuses to quit, definately one to share with friends and let them experience it. Good stuff maynard! ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 16, 2008 Golden orange color with a big fizzy head. Nose is honey and spices.
Taste; is banana, cream, caramel, wheat, spice, and yeast. Nice lasting finish. Pretty good, I like it. oreogobbler (216), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 30, 2008 Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a thick frothy white soapy head.
The nose is strong with sugar and spice, citrus, hops, and caramel.
Strong citrus, caramel, spice, hops and a nice smooth finish. Palate is thick and buttery sweet and smooth.
A fine beer. FunkyBrewster (435), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 29, 2008 Thanks 17thfloor! Pours a hazy pale orange color with a creamy white head. Aroma is sweet with orange and plum fruitiness. Definitely some spiciness but mostly sweet. Flavor starts with some strong spice on the tongue. Becomes sweet like overripe fruit and finishes with a mild bit of bitterness from the hops. Medium body and lively carbonation. Nice belgian that is well balanced. smith4498 (816), Miami, Florida, USA Oct 29, 2008 Pours hazy golden color with white head. Yeasty aroma with some citrus. Similar flavors with lots of yeast and tart lemon. Lith to medium body with lively carbonation and a crisp finish. Very nice.
