Murky, light orange grey body with a small long-lasting foamy off-white head. Sweet grainy lemon yeast flavour is a little boozy. Medium body is sweet. Interesting to try, is a little sickly sweet.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 3, 2008 Pours a hazy golden-orange color with a foamy, off-white head. Sudsy lacing mostly rejoins the body. The aroma shows banana esters, vinous white grapes, grassy hops, and some light lemongrass citrus notes. Smells very bright and crisp for a tripel, no doubt due to the grape notes and extensive hopping. Flavors are quire nice, showing a unique blend of sweet golden fruits, dry grassy hops, and zesty citrus notes. Medium-full bodied and silky, it drinks quite easy for a 10% beer. Very nice overall. An innovative take on a style that tends to be boring and one dimensional. redlight (1460), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 1, 2008 Spicy malty aroma with cinnamon, chardonnay grapes (i agree phillybeer!) with some vanilla. Pours golden blonde with a thick white head. Smooth with a lot of belgian yeast spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, very smooth with grassy notes and great carbonation! Thanks Beerlando!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 31, 2008 Courtesy beerlando. Light gold, hazy. Vinous, chardonnay grapes with a light floral hop. Huge fuzzy foamy palate. Light creamy fruitiness (vague) and pillowy sweetness. Finish is long and warming, but upliftingwith the high carbonation. Nice spicy hopping too. dchmela (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA

Malty, slightly sweet aroma with citrusy grassy hop aroma. Nice malt taste with earthy grassy hop balance. Very smooth and deceptively strong. GMCC2181 (856), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Bottle from Big fern in NY, thanks! I shared this at a tasting at stateline and everyone thought it was a good beer... Taste was kind of dry, small amount of hops, spicy, grassy and sweet at the same time. I would of never guessed it to be over 10%! Smooth and easy to drink. As nimbleprob said "full bodied but not heavy". Oveall a well crafted beer. Thanks again FL! nimbleprop (844), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Big 750ml bottle pours a hazy, translucent straw gold with a thin, lacing white head. Nose is very pleasant, perfume, grass, banana, clove and slight peppery hops. Flavor is very grainy, grassy, slighly sweet and rather spicy. Full bodied, but not heavy, with little warning of the heavy alcohol. An exercise in subtlety for sure, but very drinkable.
