| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 30, 2008 75 cl bottle poured into trappist glass- poured cloudy golden yellow like wheat straw laying freshly cut, one finger white head slowly disappeared to become clumps on the liquid surface and laced heavily, high-medium carbonation. Aroma of yeast, wheat malt, and unbaked cookie dough. Hits the mouth with a high-light body, malt is light and airy, spices come in immediately and are very enjoyable, sweetness in the background throughout, late middle and finish has nice hop profile. Worth every penny that I spent on it! KyotoLefty (1392), Kyoto, Japan
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 27, 2008 Updated: Sep 1, 2008Take a Westmalle Tripel, add tons of hops, dry hop, and shake it up. This is it. A very good tripel, hopped to hell like an American Imperial IPA. this is amazing. Great aroma with citrus, Belgian yeast, golden malt. Flavor doesn’t let down. This was a good new idea.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Pours a lemon yellow with a huge white head. Aroma had hops, spice, and little sweetness. Flavor was very well balanced with the hops present but still a little sweet. A great brew. CapFlu (3481), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Tart hops and yeast battle, amarillo bottom. Flavour leads with hops and malt, lemon. Flashes of tart hops. Lovely stuff. Bigmmartin (367), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 23, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow with a huge white, foamy head. Aroma is hoppy with yeast. Flavor is the citrusy and spiciness, blended well with a bitterness. I picked up on the characteristics of an English style IPA. I welcomed changed that is worth trying. gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Cloudy orange color with a big fluffy head that leaves impressive lacing. Yeasty, sweet yet spicy nose. Flavor resembles a tripel way more than an IPA. buzzoven (333), Japan
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Bottle from The Raleigh Times. This one had a nice floral hoppy nose with a sparkling golden orange colour that looked great in the tall, thin serving glass. Although I was not overly interested in drinking this at the time (due to this being my 5th high ABV brew of the night) but it was enjoyable. A bit too Belgian and less IPA for my personal tastes but there were some interesting characteristics of this beer. A very lemony tone with some rounded winey fruit flavours popping up. The finish was balanced but it was hard for me to cope with some of the funky earthiness of it.
