12oz bottle. Thin, white head that disapated quickly. Citrus aroma, hoppy up front, good flavor. Bitter finish with a little bite. Good beer, will definitely get this again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle purchased on Dec. 7, 2011, at Total Wine & More ( Naples, FL). This beer poured a medium sized white, fizzy head that mostly diminished. One ring of lacing, some floaties, hazy body, and a golden hue. The aroma is malty, sweet, perfume, clove, hints of spice, and fruity. The flavor is sweet, alcohol, bitter, malty, hoppy, fruity, citrus, and a dry finish. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a light-medium bodied beer. Overall, the hops took over in the aroma and flavor categories which caught me by surprise for this beer style. That being said, I was let down that the hops dominated in this beer as I am not a hophead and this is one of my favorite beer styles.

Bottle, picked up in Baltimore. Hazy gold body, thin white head. Nose is sweet malt, big alcohol (hairspray), cotton candy, some earthy yeast character. Flavor is caramel, honey, fruity hops, alcohol, clay.

12 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Pale golden orange with no head a few big bubbles around the ring. Is that because my fridge is too cold? Nice mildly citrus herbal clovey spicy bready aroma. Apricot-forward sweet fruitiness with lingering herbal bitterness. Not light and fluffy and effervescent like the best tripels, a problem that plagues most American tripels. Pretty good. A little too sweet, almost tastes like it has apricots in it.

Dark gold in color with a whitish head. Lightly hoppy with some peppery spice and a hint of lemon peel. Crisp finish.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Smells like feet. Astringent then bitter taste. They misspelled tripel. It’s like rubbing alcohol and kind of gross.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Long Island, NY - 12oz. Bottle poured a hazy dark golden color with medium head and minimal lacing. Aroma is of sweet hops with a hint of malt. Initial sip is smooth then it develops with springy hops and finishes off with a mild to moderate bitterness that lingers on the tongue. It’s my first American Trippel, but a good one!

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAR 28, 2012 Poured into a Duvel tulip from a 12 ounce bottle best before 1-13-2013.
A: Hazy amber orange body with thin white head. Sediment in suspension in the body.
S: Nice balance of citrus, cloves, and flower like aroma. Semi-sweet, slightly spicy.
T: Blend of grapefruit, floral bouquet, and cloves. Semi-sweet, spicy finish.
M: Medium body, slightly sharp carbonation.
O: Solid beer, but it’s lacking some balance. It is available year round at a good price.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Purchased in a single at Total Wine on my trip to Vegas. Pours a slightly dirty (tiny particles) golden colour with a small amber hue. Nice creamy off-white head that stays long and gives chunky lacing. The aroma is busting with hop, fresh cascade maybe, making this one very American and not Belgium. Decent mouthfeel that is smooth, kind of creamy. Alcohol is very well-hidden as no burning is felt. The hop is much milder in the taste, well blended with the sweet malt. Notes of peaches and honey in the aftertaste. Reminds me more of a Imperial IPA than a Tripel (because of the amount of hop and not being cloudy).

750ml bottle, gift from Scott, at least 2 years old. Amber, looks more like a suspension rather then a solution but that’s ok since there are no chunks, a nice off white head. Yeast, grapefruit, sugar, peach, some malt. Sweet, above average carbonation, medium body, bit of alcohol bite, some ripe fruit, dry and booze on the finish. A nice long finish with port notes - definitely worth trying.
