Oct 14, 2007 I’ve had this one sitting around for a while - I figured I’d try it given its recent GABF medal - clear gold with small, suspended flecks - frothy, lasting head - aroma of honey, vanilla, floral notes, some medicinal alcohol and sweetness - a bit thin, and the slightest bit artificial-tasting - weak spiciness, light belgian yeast fruitiness, strong, out of place hoppiness - sticky sweetness in the background couples strangely with the alcohol presence to remind one of the somewhat medicinal quality of the aroma - silver medal my ass.

Oct 12, 2007 pours golden and hazy with a nice white head.aroma is sweet, yeast, and spices. mouthful is pleasant with a spicy front with a quick finish that is a little bitter. a little boring for a tripel.

Oct 5, 2007 Meets expectations for the Trippel style, though apparently it’s Belgium proper that produces St. Bernie’s 12 and other mightiest examples of the style. But this is delicious. Smooth and creamy as it’s supposed to be. By meeting basic expectations for this most delicious of styles, it gets a 4.1..

Sep 30, 2007 Call me a snob but I wasn’t too impressed with this trippel - this being the third anniversary trippel. It tastes like somebody finally found all those lost bees, rounded up the hive and dripped all the honey into the bottle. Some tang spice and light malt finish. Aight.

Sep 28, 2007 Bomber. A nice cloudy orange color with a big white head. Smells of bananas, yeast, and spices. Alcoholic flavor and finish, and leaves a nice flavor in the mouth. I good solid Tripel.

Sep 4, 2007 A very good "American" Trippel. Reminds me a lot of Chimay. Good aroma and a smooth flavor. I was pleasantly surprised.

Sep 2, 2007 Complex flavor indeed, it would be difficult to describe all the flavors that are involved. Just keeping it simple and reporting it as being quite enjoyable.
