Clear yellow. Fruit and bananas. Way smooth taste. No irritation at all. A bit bitter on the end but fair by all means.

Bad tripel. Has a bad macro aftertaste, and has a weird tartness to it, and not in a good way. Actually kind of tough to finish this one.

Pours orange with a thin white head. Aroma of the yeast, spices, and a touch of hops. I thought it was a relatively mellow tripel, and I thought the 8.5% was well hidden. A little sweet, decent brew...nothing amazing though.

This has a strong alcohol flavor. Its aroma tells a story of the impending belgian malt. But it’s a lie. The alcohol is overkill, and its not even that high of a percent. Not my favorite

(Bottle (2008) from Lou’s Beverage Barn) Pours hazy slightly reddish orange with only a slight head. Looks fairly still. Aroma is quite toned down but there is some light caramel and fruitiness. Mouthfeel is light-medium full with only light carbonation, a little sticky/syrupy in the finish. Very slight rings and curtains of lacing disappear quickly. Sweet flavors of banana, light candy, caramel and fruit with some pepper in the finish. ABV well-hidden. The flavor is more complex and interesting than the aroma but still kind of weak for the style. Pleasant enough beer but really not much of a tripel.
