| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 22, 2009 bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours hazy, light copper with a one finger lingering head. The aroma is of yeast, malt and some alcohol. The flavor has some lightly fruit accented malt, yeast, and again the alcohol presence is a bit more forward than I expected. There’s a mildly dry finish. It’s good, but I’ve had a number of better tripels. hellomisterp (35), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2009 22oz bottle poured into a Trappist glass. Starts with little head that quickly fizzles away. Has a strong clove nose. The taste is dominated with tart start with hints of apples and bananas. This one remains friuty throughout with a caramel backbone and ends with the 9.7 standing out.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Hazy orange amber with a full two-finger head. spotty lacing, and the thinnest of retention. Spices and yeast highlight the aroma, with hints of tart apples and pears.Yeast from an overly aggressive pour was strong on the palate, which kind of dominated what probably would have been a pleasant honey sweetness and apple tartness backed up by citrus and spices. My bad. Light bodied, medium carbonation, and the sweetness lingers. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Tap. Aroma a bit overly clovey, but has pleasant orange and bready notes behind. Flavor more relaxed on the clove-spice note, more in its place alongside sweet, bready malt, grassy notes, and citrus. Pretty good American effort.
