Tap at Muddy Pig. Dark gold color with a medium head. Very strong hop aroma that is a mix of citrusy American and floral German hops. Lots of honey flavor with a strong yeast and spice smack. A little coriander. The malt is sweet, but so very subtle that it’s not overpowering the honey. Everything a Tripel should be.

[Draft, ABR ’07] Aroma strongly of belgian yeast. Sweet, citrusy taste, banana, spice. Fairly high carbonation. Pretty decent stuff.

On tap. A clear golden color with a very thin head. A sweet sugar and honey aroma, some hops as well. Flavor was very sweet with a light bitterness at the end. Nice full mouthfeel, alcohol was well hidden. Excellent.

Tap at Happy Gnome: Gold Color with No Head. Sweet Dry Malt, Ripe Banana and Bubblegum Aroma. Medium Bodied.. Syrupy Dry Malt, Dry Yeasty Quality to it... Notes of Banana and Bubblegum..Sweet Dry Aftertaste. Has a Nice Peppery Mouthfeel Througout. Overall a Nice American Triple. A Little Raw. Very Smooth for the Alcohol. Arguably Their Best Offering to Date.

On draught at the Happy Gnome in St Paul, Minnesota. Hey! It even came in its own Brandy Snifter with the Flat Earth brewrey logo printed on it. Cool! Pours a clear golden orange brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of Belgian yeast, multi-grain with wheat, red ripe beets and some vegetable. Taste is full bodied, hardly any carbonation with a thick and syrupy texture. Flavors picked up include sweet honey, some Belgian yeast, bubblegum and plenty of alcohol. Finish is semi-sweet with a dry hop aftertaste followed by bubblegum and plenty of alcohol warmth. By far one of the best brews from Flat Earth.

Pours a nice pretty clear honey golden. Nice floral hops and light orange blossom honey sweetness. Nice honey sweetness upfront followed by a suprising, but delicious floral hop bite that carries the finish very nicely.

On tap at the gnome and by far the best beer out Flat Earth yet. Crisp, light nose that didn’t reveal much until extensive agitation released an aroma of honey and hops. Clenan gold color with no head. Very nice honey flavor with a hopy finish.

Draught at the Gnome. Very nice. Surprising hop aroma. Unfortunatly the beer appears filtered, nothing special to say about the appearance. Flavor is a very good combination of hops and sweet. The honey is certainly there. I can’t taste the sugar or the malt, but the beer is sweet enough that there must be considerable sugar. Great balance with the hops and honey. Almost more of a saison than tripel.

Sampled a few glasses of this at the brewery. Ummm, i tasted a lot of that fine bermudan honey, very tasty. Quite sweet for sure, but there is enough of a hop bite there to keep it from overpowering ya. Wow, 10& abv?! I would have never guessed that, very nicely done! This and the angry planet are very good.

First tapping at the Great Taste of the Midwest. Pretty nose of banana, clove and sweet, oily honey. Pours bright gold with a with a medium sized white head. Lots of bananas and tropical fruit on the palate. There is a definite yeast and hop presence to offset the obvious sugar and malt sweetness. Medium to full bodied with good carbonation. Despite all of the sweetness, it finishes fairly dry.
