TopherJackson (26), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 11, 2009 Really liked this one. Pours a hazy off white goldish color. Lots of bubbles. Grassy aroma...some citrus notes too. Has a slight hop note and some spiced citrus as well. Will definately be buying a big boy bottle of this one! gracefullypunk (272), Washington, USA Aug 8, 2009 Pours a golden orange with barely any head but lots of rising bubbles. Aromas of yeast, raisin, and funk. Tastes of yeast, funk, lactic, bitter hops, peppery hops. Complex. fredthecat (180), Canada Aug 5, 2009 raisins, coriander, and wheat in the smell, it is a hazy amber-orange with a thick lasting head. its very dry, taste is a typical triple, coriander, drying taste, spices, a little honey sweetness at the end, very light like honey syrup. the mouthfeel is incredibly smooth, thick and full. this is a great great every now and then ultra quality beer. JediMindTricks (240), Hampton, Virginia, USA Aug 4, 2009 Hazy golden color, white head, aroma of Belgian yeast and some spices. Very yeasty taste with some citrus notes and mild hop character. Medium palate that is befitting of the style...it is what it is... RuneStumo (495), FØRRESFJORDEN, Norway Aug 4, 2009 24.01.2004, 0,33l Bottle. Fargen er lys gyllen og ølet er uklart. Ristet flasken litt før jeg drakk den slik at alt kom med. Tydelig preg av sitrus. Mye bitterhet gjør den litt skarp. Veldig god. Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway Aug 2, 2009 330 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a huge, creamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy with some banana and caramel. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, fruity like oranges, spicy, yeast and a hint of dry fruit. Medium-plus body and a nice warming finish with a pleasant bitterness. A complex beer and among the finest samples of triple. Dastrn (115), Warsaw, Indiana, USA Aug 2, 2009 Absolutely fantastic tripel! Best of it’s style i’ve had.
I got it on tap from the Yardhouse in Phoenix. the aroma was difficult to distinguish considering the setting, but it was definitely yeast and raisin, and perhaps a bit more.
Taste was nice and spicy, with hops, and some cinnamon. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. I’ll go back for more and more. Berley31 (107), New Brunswick, Canada Jul 30, 2009 Bottle at the Garrison Ale House in Fredericton.
A: The bottle was brought to me, and then poured into a tulip glass by my server... noooo!! It was all poured into the glass, at an angle the whole time, in one pour, resulting in barely any head, and no opportunity for swirling the last of the beer. Crap. So, obviously the appearance has been affected. However, the beer was still a nice, dark orange color, and very hazy.
S: Great aroma of yeast and fruitiness... some citrus and maybe banana as well? Very enjoyable.
T: Very nice taste... starts off with the yeastiness, then the citrus notes come creeping in. Very slight presence of alcohol at the end, with the warming sensation, but it’s all good.
M: Nice and smooth on the palate, slightly creamy. Good carbonation, not overwhelming at all.
D: Another fantastic tripel... I’d love to try it again, if only so I could get a proper pour, but I have no doubt I would enjoy it at least as much. A great sipping beer.
