3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml bottle from Liquid Solutions. Aromas of fruit, yeast, candi and spice. Orange tinged golden color with a huge white head. Medium body with mild carbonation. Seems to be a touch of ginger in the flavor along with bits of citrus things. Very smooth. It’s really rather dry. Very tasty through to the finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(33cl bottle) Cloudy, yellow colour with loads of floaties and a fluffy foamy white head. Slightly sweet malty nose with light citrus fruits, rather strong spicy coriander notes and a distinctive lemony hoppy background. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Soft pale malt character, slightly yeasty and moderately spicy with citrus-fruity hops; quite dry fruity and hop bitter finish. Well-rounded hoppy Tripel.

a sim rate:
Very strong flavour. Very tart triple. Tastes like buttery alcoholic bliss. Nice and tart.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at GBBF, August 2005. Rather unappealing sludgy blonde colour. Very and crisp with plenty of peppery spices and light yeasty notes. Fairly dry and crisp. A solid tripel but not in the top rank.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Gold-greenish amber; small but good head, just off-white. English hops -and the best of them: spicey, and a little citrus aroma-hops. Good! sweetish with a low bitterness but a lot of hop FLAVOUR, even a bit cheesy. Very carbonated, nearly fizzy, slight alcohol burning. This is a great new tripel, tasted in good company - Mark Romero, David Anderson and Mat Wilson - everybody happy with this beer!
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled - GBBF 2005. A hazy custard coloured beer with a nice white head and good lacing. The aroma was massive spices, lemons and yeast. The taste had more spices - coriander and pepper. A really good full-bodied tripel.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
My Bottom Line :
Prominent ginger and lemongrass join this tropical Tripel’s spicy hops in building quite the citrusy flavor profile.
Further Personal Perceptions :
-A slice of foam tops the cloudy blond with plenty of yeast particles (even though the bottle’s been standing up right for weeks).
-A touch of alcohol heat reminds you that this is not a beach brew.
-Underlying banana esters add some depth.
-Malt flavors are present but dominated by the citrusy spiciness.
-A thriving leafy hop bitterness thankfully balances out the spices in the finish.
