| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. Alcohol and big pils malt nose with some light vanilla and yeast. Golden pour with a quick-scattering beige head, relatively noisy going. Crisp, sharp attack, big alcohol which is surprisingly well--integrated (warms the cheeks and throat tenderly but doesn’t burn or sting). Some light fruit but otherwise this is all malt and alcohol, with only a light hop/yeast prick in the finish. Dryish with a medium-full body. I liked drinking this more than the rating implies, but I’m not going after it again. jbrus (4845), Delft, Netherlands
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Bottle@Home. Sweet citrus aroma. Light hazy, yellow, small off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, bitter, hint of fruity sourness, quite malty, citrus. Pretty alcoholic, flat. Bit nasty bitter in the finish. Quite plain. garmonbozia (227), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Soapy, with bananas and cloves. Light carbination, color of a pils, very thin mouthfeel keepersj12 (790), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Mar 2, 2009 So so. Not much aroma, cold or warm. Pour is amber with little head. Flavor is OK. Warming alcohol on the throat gives it a bit of a bite. Lots of other better examples. Bov (5425), Bienne, Switzerland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2009 from Drinks of the World, Bern - cloudy golden-orange colour with a poor head retention; esters and yeast with a touch of candi sugar and pear in the nose; lively palate with chewy malts; solid sweet maltiness with a moderate late bitterness; moderately dry finish with fruity and spicy notes blankboy (3201), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 23, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with tons of tiny sediment and a small diminishing frothy white head. Aroma, which is a bit mild for a Tripel, is sugary sweet, fruity and yeasty along with a hint of floral hops and some alcohol -- it’s not bad, just mild. Flavour starts sugary sweet and alcoholic -- which I’m not crazy about -- followed by fruit and some light hops in the finish. Needs more carbonation. Average bodied. Just O.K.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 23, 2009 From Voldby, DK.
Bottled, 230209.
Golden with small head. Aroma of yeasty fruit and malt. Flavor is alcoholic with caramel and fruit. nuplastikk (1176), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Thick orange-tan color with no real head. No solid carbonation in the mouthfeel either. Sweet sugary aroma. The taste is sweet with faint hint of sourness. Pretty odd interpretation really, but not entirely unenjoyable. A tad too astringent, hops perhaps. Sub-par for the style all the way, but a decent brew nonetheless.
