4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Shared 750ml bottle to ring in my birthday at the Abbots Ale House. Pours a lively golden with a pillowy white head. Beautiful aroma of green apple, butterscotch, flora, and sea air. Taste is medium sweetness, light hop bitterness, and a light sour tang. Smooth, dry, fruity hop finish. Delicious.

Hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma is a slight bit of banana and yeast. Flavor is nice clove and banana at first followed by a sharp (but not unpleasant) grapefruit bite from the hops. Really nice combination of styles.
Wife: 4.5

75cl bottle, this was the priciest and most underwhelming of their famous special edition Tripel Hops. It’s a fine beer, just not up the Citra or Sorachi levels.

Today tasted a triple hop 2010 with my father. He kept the beer from 2010, in a dark seller. The aroma is Amarillo and the taste is balanced and has a long aftertaste. Great beer with a smooth and balanced taste. ---Rated By the Belleketels

0,75 l bottle. Poured cloudy yellow with a creamy white head. Hints of champagne, herbs, honey in the nose with grass and some resin. Easy bodied but strong character, nice hoppy flavor. Light malts, grass and resin.
