Poured clear amber color with an average frothy white head that lasted with good lacing. Complex spicy citrus and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium citrus balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to long duration with a small alcohol bite.
This is a refreshing good beer. ElDuderino (141), Roslindale, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 28, 2009 On tap at Deep Ellum. Body was a dark copper hue with a foamy white head. There is a subtle sweet honey aroma, like you get off a fresh baked loaf of bread with honey in it. The flavor has a very subdued soft hop front that is more citrus peel and grapefruit than pine. The back end is full of whole grains, caramel malts and wheat with a sweet honey essence finish. This tastes like a really good tripel that was aged for a few years and then dry hopped, if that’s even possible. I am blown away. PolishHammer (64), , Connecticut, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Semi-transparent, golden with a copper tint and very thing, white, quickly dissapating head. Well balanced, fruity, floral and citrus aroma, with a flavor to match. Sweet, but not cloying. A hit of pine. A bit watery mouth feel, tight bubbles, nice carbonation. Too sweet? Tastes great, easy to drink, and is so drinkable that it definitely could be a session beer...although it would be a VERY short session because of the alcohol, that’s very well hidden, by the way.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, melon rind, and yeast. Classic abbey tripel aroma. Flavor is a bit more citrusy and finishes dry. Slight bitterness from the hops. Light and pleasant.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of clove, lemon, orange, lemongrass, alcohol, raspberry, dough, cookie dough, yogurt. Flavor sweet and bready with tropical and red fruits, a good deal of warming alcohol. Really nice fruitiness and spiciness seemingly both from hops and yeast, just a bit too much alcohol build up for me as the glass goes down to keep it from being stellar, but still very good. malrubius (981), Valley Stream, New York, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 3, 2009 750 ml in Westmalle glass. Gold with lasting head and lace. Sweet and citrus lemon danish pastry aroma. Sweet fruity marshmallow peach melon with spicy fresh hop floral finish. I just love Amarillo for dry hopping. This is almost as good as Chouffe Houblon. Friggin delicious. jgb9348 (2495), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 5, 2009 Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin white head. Aroma of pure honey, tucked in with yeast, pomme fruits and a bit of wheat. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour up front with honey notes, a bit of pepper and a good yeastie flavour. Aftertaste shows more complexity with notes of flowers and spices coming through as well. Overall, a great beer - definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York.
