rayOfBeer (316), El Cerrito, California, USA Aug 6, 2008 Poured from bomber a hazy golden with large off-white head lacing as it recedes. Aroma is is strong with yeasty banana bread, clove, and a somewhat caramel sweetness. Flavor arrives with a typical belgian air - lots of yeast, sweet fruity caramel, banana, spicy clove and lots of carbonation. Palate is spicy sweet. I like this one, but could use a little less sweetness and a bit more spice. Overall good job, would drink again. carboloader (318), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 5, 2008 From big bottle. Pours hazy orange with medium sized soapy head. Some carbonation bubbles evident. Aroma is citrus, cantaloupe, bananas, orange peel, with some clove. Estery, but amazingly smooth integration of several complex fruity hops and malt flavors. Rich, oily mouth feel. I usually do not like the Belgian style, but this one is rubbing off on me. Delicious. I would buy again.
RSRIZZO (1345), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Aug 4, 2008 Aroma is hoppy with bold yeast scents. Color is a hazy golden with gold carbonation and a thin tight head. Taste is fruity and hoppy. Starting with a medium body it goes down rich. Finish comes in fruity with banana tones and a hint of dried fruit, then a mild hop flavor and easy bitterness. After taste is clean after the fruit tones build up a bit and become a little sweeter. This is an excellent American Trippel, its complex and fruity. fidel (884), Livermore, California, USA Aug 3, 2008 Hazy golden yellow, sweet, citrus, honey, spice, little yeast, hoppy, slight bitter finish, refreshing. AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA Jul 28, 2008 Aroma is fruity and yeasty but also a decent amount of hops. Flavor is similiar. Sweet medium body. Not bad. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 27, 2008 Sample @ brewery. It’s a pretty run-of-the-mill tripel, solid yet unspectacular. I don’t think I could add anything to the discussion here. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 25, 2008 bottle, sweet floral nose with flavors of lemon, honey and hops, sweet finish elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA Jul 25, 2008 Pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head. Lacing is very nice. Aroma is funky. Tastes of spice and Belgian yeast dominate the palate. Finishes with a spicy warming alcohol feeling.
