Pours a pale golden color with a medium sized off white head. Nose is honey, honey suckle, dandelion, grass, sunflower seed. Taste is about the same with additional green notes and a pronounced sweetness. Not bad.

Bomber, "Third Anniversary Belgian-Style Tripel". Poured medium-pale golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up a blend of sweeter pale malts and light fruits with pepper and a bt darker fruity accents.. the alcohol was quite well masked. The flavor had honey and pale malts at the core with black pepper spicage and mild grassy bitterness around.. well-balanced and a bit warm at the end. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation on the palate.. yeasty overall and very drinkable.

Bottle. Dark honey with a thin off white head. Nose-chewed bubble gum, banana, clove, apple skin, lightly boozy, slightly artificial. Taste-high CO2, hot phenols, camphor, Juicy Fruit gum, slightly industrial, cantaloupe, artificial banana, sickly sweet unpleasant aftertaste, lots of Belgian yeast characteristics (the yeast really takes center stage), unsweet honey, alcohol on the backend, unsweet Granny Smith apple skins, light coconut, cotton candy. All in all, a little on the fruity side. Yeast truly dominates.

22 oz. bottle. A hazy gold pour with a finger-thick tan head. Mandarin oranges, vanilla, lemons, bananas, caramel, and a little grapefruit in the aroma. Medium body. Starts off with some caramel and bananas and ends with the slightest bit of drying grapefruitiness. A little bit of pepper becomes present as it warms up a bit. On the sticky side.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange golden color with a mdium frothy off white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a sweet floral hops with citrus and honey caramel. Very good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a bitter floral hop with a spicy dry finish. A good trippel from Green Flash.

65cl bottle courtesy of mfielden. Pours a hazy dark caramel color with a thick and creamy one finger white head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of citrus, sweet malt, caramel, honey, bready yeast, some slight spice. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of caramel and spice, honey, some hints of floral hops and spice. Fluffy mouthfeel that leaves a little to be desired in a tripel -- not as rich and velvety as the best Belgian examples. Notes of caramel of floral hops on finish.

22oz bottle (10/8/08 Pre GABF tasting)-Pours a hazy orange with a bunch of floaties and a nice thich white head. Aroma of belgian yeast and candy sugar. Taste the same with some nice Belgian flavors. This medium bodied brew is a pretty damn good trippel.
