malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Nov 4, 2007 750 ml bottle in Duvel glass. Hazy orange with lasting flat white head and lace. Nice aroma of green apples, yeast, and candy sugar with slight alcohol presence. Mild fruitiness (apricot peach) with candy sugar, honey, and lingering tobacco bitterness. More bitter than dry. Medium body and medium-low carbonation. Fairly complex but not my favorite kind of triple. Still a nice brew though. dmac (1418), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Oct 30, 2007 750 ml bottle purchased at The Oak. Ok so maybe it was partly my fault but when I opened this sucker up GUSHER is not the word. It took both hands pushing a single thumb into the botle to hold the pressurized liquid inside the bottle in order to keep my basement from looking like the set of Titanic. After the bottle settled it poured a nice unfiltered cooper/amber with an average to large creamy white head that disipated but was quickly awokened from it’s slumber up with a few vigorous girations in my snifter. Sweet vinous aroma of green apples, white grapes, yeast, honey and candied sugar. Flavor reminiscent of a white wine with vinous qualities, yeast, fruit and slight wood. Medium body with a slightly dry finish. This is one fine beer. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 26, 2007 750ml bottle-pours a big creamy off white head and slightly hazy gold color. Aroma is nice grassy/citrus hops (saaz), some grain, yeast, barnyard. Taste is malty-barnyard/some sweetness, some grain, yeast, nice grassy/citrus hops (saaz). Smooth, easy drinking. OK effervescence. Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 24, 2007 Bottle. Fluffy white and high but lasting head. Hazy yellow body. Alcohol dominated sweet barley malt aroma. Sweet and relatively fruity sweet flavor of barley malt. The alcohol is there but not dominant. Low carbonation. Long and bitter aftertaste. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA Oct 22, 2007 750 ml. bottle. Poured a cloudy orange/amber. Frothy white head which was weirdly spit-like at the perimeter. Spotty lacing. Aroma of biscuit/cookie malts, with candied peel/marmalade notes. Zesty hops/spiciness infuse and awaken the flavor of sweet biscuity malts and underlying yeast/fruitness. Smooth with fine carbonation. Really nice tripel. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Oct 5, 2007 Bottle.
