| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 1, 2009 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. Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA

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. lamas (715), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
