Green Flash Trippel

Bomber into a Duvel glass. Cloudy amber/orange with an unfortunate quickly collapsing head. Aromas of banana, pear and melon above cookie-like malts--floral and bubblegum notes as well. Flavor was basically sweet bubblegum. Some caramelized sugar and tame citrus hops underneath, but the flavor was overall kind of dull, sweet and flabby. I couldn’t really pick up any spiciness or complexity I’d expect from a tripel.

A pretty golden, hazy pour with a creamy white head that disappeared quickly. Aroma is sweet and citrusy, with a hint of yeast and something else... I like the creamy texture, tastes of orange and citrus spritz with a yeast overtone. Yeast could also be a doughy taste. No hops in sight, enjoyable beer though.

Pours a nice orange-golden color with a thin white head. Smell is citrus and yeast. Nice creamy texture. Fruit and yeast taste. No hops. Smooth texture.

I was a little disappointed with this. After really loving the Green Flash IPA, I had great expectations. It poured a cloudy gold and had a nice yeasty aroma, but the flavors seemed rather unbalanced and harsh to me. Seemed like it didn’t quite know what it wanted to be (or as my friend CBD says, it’s trying too hard).

Bottle at about 6 months of age.

Pours a hazy light gold with a large and robust head. Sweet doughy aroma, some fruit esters, just a hint of spice on the nose. Flavors are sweet, somewhat muddled: rising dough slathered with fake maple syrup, a bit of peach and banana, mild spices, really no hop bite on the close, very sweet throughout.

Not exactly objectionable but not a favorite and certainly not impressive as a tripel.

Nice strong golden coloured body with a very thin slightly-off white head. Aroma of fresh yeast, malt, coriander seed and a tiny bit of honey. Full-bodied; Very strong yeastie flavour with malt and a good dose of sugars behind. Aftertaste shows plenty of malt, yeast and curacao - a bit of honey and some light nuts also show through. Overall, a decent but slightly strong and overwhelming trip. Good to try, but I’d recommend another trip over this one. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in San Franisco (4th Ave), California on 9-February-2008.

hazy orange gold small fizzy head. yeast, spice, and alcohol in the aroma. medium soft body. spicy yeast flavor with bitter orange, bananas, lightly coming through. overall a little off balanced, too much alcohol and spice, kind of dulls the other flavors

third anniversary ale, bomber from camp pendleton beverages by the main gate / fizzy pour, slightly hazy orange-straw body with an inadequate amount of pearly head; a bit syrupy, fruity (banana), spicy, doughy, and a kicker with the alcohol; meh... although after reading the "abbey tripe" style notes, it seems to represent it well; however, give me a Tripel Karmeliet, anytime!
